about

The Ferretts are a Derbyshire based duo featuring Markus and Nansy Ferrett-Paine performing their own material and covers.

This track is about the bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula.) The bullfinch is not a migratory bird. They stay with us throughout the winter and as a result, could be considered a pest to farmers and landowners. They have an astounding ability to rip through crops and take the lot. Luckily for them, they are also considered a thing of beauty and mostly they get away with their acts of theft.

Massive thanks to The Ferretts for allowing us to include this track as part of our fundraising compilation.

This track has been donated by it's owner / producer and is being released as part of a compilation of tunes as a fundraiser

lyrics

CHORUS
Pyrrhula Pyrrhula, Pyrrhula Pyrrhula.

He's picking and pecking and hopping and dancing right there in the arms of the skeleton tree.
You find him, you lose him, you never did choose him, freedom's a thing that he wanted to be.

There's a fire in the trees, you're caught on a breeze, he eyes death, defies death, he takes what he needs.
There's a price on his head, he flashes red flag and you cannot move you will not see him dead.

CHORUS

The trees are in bloom, he whistles his tune, you watch as your crop wanes away like the moon.
How can it be wrong when your heart sings his song.
You sing it, he wings it, he's where he belongs.

CHORUS.

The twists that he makes and the turns that he takes show a closely knit weave he will not move beyond.
His landscape is changing, his world rearranging, his bones are their bones and this is their bond.
