    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    I wish I knew which button to push
    Then I'd know how to please you, it's sad but true
    I'll just listen in down the line
    While you're busy mixing grape with grain to sedate your pain
    [Chorus]
    Songbird, you've got tales to tell
    How many times can you describe your living hell?
    [Verse 2]
    The sweeping gesture creates a fuss
    It's only useful when receiving praise, relieving no-one's pain
    If you'd let somebody love you just enough
    You'd have everything you'd need to break free from all your pain
    [Chorus]
    Songbird, you got tales to tell
    How many times can you describe your living hell?
    [Instrumental Break]
    [Verse 3]
    I wish I knew which button to push
    Then I'd know how to please you, it's sad but true
    [Outro]
    If you'd let somebody love you just enough
    If you'd let somebody love you just enough
    If you'd let somebody love you just enough
    If you'd let somebody love you just enough
    Music video by Bernard Fanning performing Songbird. (C) 2013 Dew Process/Universal Music Australia"

      Ó Braonáin This Album is one of my favorites. A girlfriend I had back in 2007, she was from Australia loved this song by him. Ever since I heard that song wanted to hear all his songs. I like some Powderfinger songs too also pretty good.
