As You Can See
Chips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like all birds together we will squawk and we squeak
The joy comes from all our beaks
And ringing bells is our fun
Now our ass is moving as one..

If we are forgetting all the rules that we learnt
When all the rule books are burnt
And just like a follows b
Our chorus will always be

So glad to see that you came
We hope you come again etc.

I have but one true friend
She sings to me
In my solitude
And I know her name

I tried to know her..
In all her changes
But I don't know her...\




















Like all birds together
We will squawk and we squeak
The joy comes from all our beaks
And ringing bells is our fun
Now our ass is moving as one
If we are forgetting
All the rules that we learnt
As all the rule books are burnt
And just as A follows B
Our chorus must always be
So glad to see that you came
We had best times
We hope you come again
Please come and see the sea
If you come
We'll have best times again
But now it's time to go
Time to go home
I have but one true friend
She sings to me
In my solitude
And I know her name
I tried to know her
In all her changes
And I don't know her place
And I don't see her face
When we come together
Then we forget ourselves
And just as night follows day
The beginning must become the end
And so we will start again
When we come together
Then we meet other souls
And then we make our goodbyes
And we lay our bones to rest
As birds we dream of the sky
Please let me go
Please help me go [Repeat x4]
So glad to see that you came
We had best times
We hope you come again
Please come and see the sea
If you come
We'll have best times again
But now it's time to go
Time to go home
