about

There are many secrets in the universe, and the crow keeps most of them, except for the ones that they pass on, which isn't many, but it is a few.

lyrics

The Private Life Of Crows

There’s a bird that’s watching and he soon remark
That nothin’ that we do will ever stay in the dark
With a tone and moan no one calls a song
He tells ya did ya know ya put your boots on wrong
With an arrk and a crarrk from his coal black choir, he says
“You don’t like the warmth you shouldn’t light no fire.”
He loves to let you know that he knows about you
When it comes to the crow, we haven’t got a clue

The private life of crows, the private life of crows
Nobody gets it, nobody knows
It’s a murder mystery, loads of strife
The private life of crows
It’s a murder mystery, loads of strife
It’s ark, crarrk, ark, crarrk, ark, crarrk, arrrrrrr
The private life of crows.

Now it’s almost certain a crow will never mention
Every ten years they hold a convention
With all that beak and black feather waving
It seems our bird he loves a little ravin’
With look from an eye that you can’t but admire, he says
“You don’t like the warmth, you shouldn’t light no fire.”
He loves to let you know that he knows about you
When it comes to the crow, yeah we haven’t got a clue.
