They looked at her this way ever since she was a girl

Mr. Feathers

Mr. Feathers

The echo in every smile though it curled into a leer

Oh my dear Mr. Feathers is near


The counter is falling, something is spoiling

It's really appalling

You pleased and you promise you never thought it through

Nobody knows the damage that we do

Do you carry it with you


She passed him out in the street

He suddenly seemed so frail as her fast heart beat

She should kick him anyway, sharpen her nails

For eyes that strayed where hands should never stray


He thought she was wanton ever since she was a girl

Mr. Feathers

Mr. Feathers

The kindness in every smile that would curl into a sneer

Oh my dear Mr. Feathers is near


Her lover is calling, something is spoiling

It's really appalling

You pleased and you promised you never thought it through

Nobody knows the damage that we do

The damage that we do
