She says they came from India
Then some escaped from their aviary
Or maybe someone else released them
Now you can find them nesting in cities
They don’t migrate in winter
Don’t leave when things get tough
Somehow they made a home in London
Said one time she saw a whole flock
Years go by and temperatures rise
But they're not afraid of change
We're going under, they're growing in numbers
And they're all here to stay
We're on thin ice, been stood at the sides
Time to join the fray
We're trying, we're driven, this world's not a given
But we won't go up in flames
We kid ourselves about what we want
It’s where all our problems are coming from
Hide it in boxes what we really love
We’re dancing where no one else sees us
Now the naysayers are calling for culls
Say they’re a danger to our way of life
They’re feral and there’s too many of them
Got a licence to shoot on sight
It’s so easy to be the contrarian
Shame people who care for anything
It’s harder to be someone who knows who they are
But they’re the ones worth remembering
We kid ourselves about what we want
It’s where all our problems are coming from
Hide it in boxes what we really love
We’re dancing where no one else sees us
We try to be what we think they want
Our friends, our parents, the people we love
Don’t be like the others, just open up
We’ll dance where no one can see us
You think no one’s gonna wanna know you
And that they won't like what they'll find
And I’m guilty of this as well
I just can't go in blind
You’re not like everyone else
You’re not standoffish and you’re not cold
You can’t fake it so don’t backtrack now
Don’t act like you don’t care, let it show
We kid ourselves about what we want
It’s where all our problems are coming from
Hide it in boxes what we really love
We’re dancing where no one else sees us
We’re always worried that we’ll scare them off
Gotta earn it for us to open up
It’s a feeling I thought that I’d forgot
But we’re dancing where no one can see us
