Something I Borrow - A New Song

Hi lovely patrons,

So this was a bit of a surprise one. I promised a new song for you guys earlier this month and here it is. 

More recently I've been going over older material since we finished the album, and this one popped up again.

The words were actually written by my manager and friend Simon Field. He's actually an incredible poet and I promised him along time ago we would put some of his words to music. If you listen to Esmerelda on the new album you can hear him reciting some of his own words - those lyrics were a collaboration.

He actually has no idea that I've done this so it's going to be nice seeing his reaction... I hope you guys like it too. It's very old-style BEB but that's no bad thing ;)

Simon thank you for always believing in this project, even when I couldn't. Here's to another 10 years of Birdeatsbaby madness. We couldn't have got this far without you.

Love & Feathers,

X Mishkin X


Something I Borrow


LYRICS - Simon Field

MUSIC - Mishkin Fitzgerald

PRODUCTION - Garry Mitchell


Today’s not the day 

Will I say that tomorrow? 

Press down the pain 

Planning for sorrow 

Muster a smile 

Feeling so hollow  

This life isn’t mine 


You don’t leave a note 

There’s nothing to say 

Your songs said it all 

They pathed your own way 

Colours now fade 

Orange and marrow 

This life isn’t mine 

Just something I borrow  


I’ll linger like dust 

I’ll fall and I’ll fade 

Fortress of bone 

No shelter, no shade 

No comfort at all 

The lines that we swallowed 

This life isn’t mine 

Just something I borrow  


Seven uttered loud the bitter book

Til seven lay bare in the barren brook 

Hand the thunder's voice right back to God 

For man knows not the road he trod
