Fish in a Birdcage - Rule #23 - Birds of a feather

She was born by the sea,
her father bounced her on his knee,
While he shared past stories of grandeur,
That would dance inside her head,
every night while tucked in bed,
same tales, different actor

There were costumes on the floor,
she'd use a wooden stick and board,
to vanquish the foes that were after,
All them stuffed up toys,
that were sticking round by choice
they were family in this together

When she grew like a tree,
she sought out bonny company,
built the finest crew you could ask for,
they were brave and sturdy lads,
that remind her of dad,
back to back, birds of a feather

Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
Back to back, Birds of a feather

With a scaled down graph,
her husband did the math,
on a course to have the advantage,
cause the British they were smart
but didn't have the heart
of our strong Irish companions,

They can write shoddy laws,
and try to buy her off,
but they'll never own what we have here,
a solidarity within familiar seas,
cause we are one in the thousands

Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
Back to back, Birds of a feather

She'd defend her name,
as the cannon shots and flames,
tried to deter what she is after,
and although she lost lost her love,
no she's never givin up,
to these tyrant, dirty ol bastards,

We would charge as a pack,
you could never hold us back,
we are fierce and grew with each battle,
it etched inside our veins,
the hardships that we've gained,
we've become a myth unraveled

Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
Back to back, Birds of a feather

Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
Back to back, Birds of a feather

Those final days, in the castle she had claimed,
she drew the sword that had brought her,
through countless victories,
that she survived to see, in the tales of her own grandeur

Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
Back to back, Birds of a feather

Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
Back to back, Birds of a feather
