Скачать или смотреть Mockingbirds at Dawn

This jazz and swing-inspired tune captures the humour and absurdity of a Boxing Day morning spent waiting in vain for a sale that required no queue (A personal experience). The whimsical lyrics recount the tale of seagulls, pigeons, and crows as cheeky observers of human folly. With a bouncy rhythm and a touch of wry humour, the song brings to life the vivid imagery of an empty car park and the mocking dance of birds.
Lyrics:
Verse 1
Parked under the sodium glow,
Waiting for the crowds to show.
5 am., it was just us two,
With birds above, not a queue in view.
Seagulls laughed, pigeons strutted with pride,
Crows on the lampposts, taking their side.

Chorus
Oh, the mockingbirds at dawn,
Telling us our plan was wrong.
We thought we'd score, but they had a clue,
No one else lined up, just me and you.

Verse 2
Scraps on the ground, a feast in the sky,
Feathered critics with a glint in their eye.
We sat in the car, watching their show,
The dance of the birds, putting on a glow.
Anticipation turned to a chuckle or two,
As the doors swung open, just for me and you.

Chorus
Oh, the mockingbirds at dawn,
Telling us our plan was wrong.
We thought we'd score, but they had a clue,
No one else lined up, just me and you.

Bridge
The bed was ours, a victory so sweet,
But oh, the irony we faced in defeat.
Four hours wasted, but a tale well-spun,
Of mocking seagulls and the rising sun.

Verse 3
We walked out tired, heads held low,
Under the gaze of the birds in the know.
"Next time," we laughed, "we'll skip the scene,
And let the sales wait for New Year's sheen."
For now, we rest, with a tale to tell,
Of Boxing Day birds who knew us too well.

Chorus
Oh, the mockingbirds at dawn,
Telling us our plan was wrong.
We thought we'd score, but they had a clue,
No one else lined up, just me and you.

Outro
So here’s to the birds and their witty refrain,
Teaching us patience through humour and pain.
Mockingbirds at dawn, they saw it through,
The sale was ours, but the joke was too.
