Up on the Wire
Style: Indie folk

[Verse 1]
Feathers scatter on the grey ground
Under a crooked old antenna
Something plain turns into wonder
The moment you walk into it, Shirley

[Pre-chorus]
We were just standing round waiting
Nothing much happening at all
Then we heard your voice call

[Chorus]
Shirley, you turn the whole street golden
Even the pigeons seem to know
Nobody else could do this to a Monday
You're the reason we're glowing so

[Verse 2]
Rust on the antenna, dull and bent
Cracked bricks and a tired old wall
Then you laugh from the doorway
And somehow it outshines it all

[Chorus]
Shirley, you turn the whole street golden
Even the pigeons seem to know
Nobody else could do this to a Monday
You're the reason we're glowing so

[Bridge]
Blow out your candles, make it count
Another year that you get to be here
We're glad you were ever born, Shirley
We're glad that you're still near

[Chorus]
Shirley, you turn the whole street golden
Even the pigeons seem to know
Nobody else could do this to a Monday
You're the reason we're glowing so

[Outro]
The feathers settle back on the ground
But something in us stays lit up
