Birdeatsbaby – Elliot lyrics
He only tells me what I want to hear
When we’re all strung out on the town
He doesn’t give a shit about my hair
He wants to pull it out

There was a time when there was something there
Now we just take it in turns
Some people want to see the world from here
And some people want to crash and burn

Elliot, I know the world has trod you underfoot
But there’s a chance we could do something good
Elliot, I know that you are just misunderstood
You know we’re Marian and Robin Hood, oh Elliot

We get attention from the neighbours now cos he
He likes to talk to himself
And then one day he tore the house apart
Sweeping all my things off the shelves

I’m not concerned about the voice he hears
I just make him stay in his room
On days like that I hold him close to me and whisper
“I can hear that voice too”

Elliot, you’re just the victim of your misspent youth
But there’s a chance you could do something good
Elliot, I try to love you like I know I should
You know we’re Marian and Robin Hood, oh Elliot

And then one morning I woke up in tears
His body was a cold as a stone
He took his medicine with too much gin
Oh Elliot I should have known

Elliot, I know the world has trod you underfoot
But there’s a chance we could do something good
Elliot, I know that you are just misunderstood
You know we’re Marian and Robin Hood, oh Elliot
