Title track so it must mean something. I knew a girl who loved shiny things and she would take them and bring them home to show me. She was the Jackdaw, infinitely smart and beyond the law.

lyrics

Jackdaw

Seven ....zero...pound zero 7 zero
Keep it safe …….Keep it real
I’ll see you out there.

Look over here
What the hell have I done
You were asking for it
Now it’s begun

Eight.....seven....zero
Lock down
Hash tag
Lockjaw
What have you got for me
Jackdaw

What happens next.
Will take you higher
I feel I should tell you
your world is now on fire

What did I take to make me turn out mean
Months waiting at the station
Swinging my bottle of nitro glycerine
Too much quiet contemplation
What have you brought for me
What’s it all for…..can’t you tell me
Jackdaw

I’ve seen it all before
The curve of the earth from the stratosphere
Yesterday’s return right here
The call of a bird growing ever near
Flapping wings, beaks and claws
Jackdaw Jackdaw Jackdaw

Here is her gold ring
Here is her Silver chain
here’s a golden ring
Be safe out there again

we are creatures of the sea
creatures of the sky
Lima ...Epsilon ...X-ray
Never more, never more i call her up …Jackdaw
