Hair That Red
Clare Bowditch & the Feeding Set

My friend Nick was made up of colored bits

That he shot to the stars and left in a trail

That was our friend Nick, who grinned like a lunatic

And talked like a bird, who knew all the old song words


He's a smoker, he's a joker, he's a midnight toker

And Help me I think I'm falling in love again

A son, a brother, a father and my mother always said

You've gotta love a man with hair that red


My friend Nick, a bundle of scattered bits

That once in a while he tried to collect

The only things left big enough to hold him in

Were rivers and dreams



He told me he'd love me when we were sixty

He's a sun and a spring and a blocked up darling

She said, You've gotta love a man with hair that red


Our friend Nick was made of a billion bits

And we'll only ever know four or three each

But as the song goes, Life is but a tapestry

Of rich and royal hue


And you've a cloak fit for a lion King

And in case you're still wondering

Indeed we loved you man, with hair that red
