Prass, Natalie - Bird Of Prey Lyrics






You plucked me from the vine
A clean detachment
And although it wasn't time
I let it happen

Oh you, you don't leave me no choice
Oh you, you don't leave me no choice
Oh you, you don't leave me no choice
But to run away
You are a bird of prey
With a heart like the night

I had all the room to hide
In deep fields and tall grasses
Your sight, it will not tire
Until you have me
And I love you, oh but no
Oh, you will not let me go
Now the Sun, it sets, I'm on the run
I can't get you away from me

Oh you, you don't leave me no choice
Oh you, you don't leave me no choice
Oh you, you don't leave me no choice
But to run away
You are a bird of prey
With a heart like the night

Ooh, and I never said I didn't want you knocking on my door
All this run and chase, it's almost like I planned it
Never have I felt arms this tight on me before
Well, I never said I didn't want you knocking on my door
All this run and chase, it's almost like I planned it
It's out of hand it's, ooh, out of my control

Oh you, you don't leave me no choice
Oh you, you don't leave me no choice
Oh you, you don't leave me no choice
But to run away
You are a bird of prey
With a heart like the night

I never said
I never said I didn't want you
I never said I didn't want you knockin' on my door
I never said
I never said I didn't want you
I never said I didn't want you knockin' on my door

Prass, Natalie Bird Of Prey Comments
  1. J.... Y....

    Harley Quinn 😛😛😛

  2. J.... ....

    I heard this a few years ago and I've never been able to get it out of my mind - it is a heck of a track. Beautiful and different : )

  3. B.... B....

    Beautiful voice..just wish I knew what the hell she was saying beyond the chorus

  4. C.... K....

    https://youtu.be/9SXCxHCt6zw

  5. K.... ....

    It is a sad day for art when I search bird of prey and a doritos commercial is recommended before this by YouTube

  6. A.... ....

    Saw her live at the house of blues opening for fleet foxes, she was awesome

  7. L.... K....

    This song is just too good...

  8. J.... T....

    Heard her on a cherub track a while ago. I knew I had to hear more. Hooked!!

  9. S.... B....

    I love her voice, its sexy as hell, and I find the mix and production completely satisfying, why i bought this record.

  10. c.... ....

    I want to see a collab with Natalie Prass and Aloe Blacc.

  11. J.... G....

    I think her voice is hot

  12. L.... C....

    Una verdadera obra de arte! Natalie es muy bonita<3

  13. M.... ....

    I'm in love with this song <3

  14. T.... ....

    I like her voice, great tune

    T.... ....

    I was hearing some nice rock guitar stuff I could add!

  15. T.... T....

    This is so WARM!

  16. U.... B....

    Y'all don't realize that Natalie writes the majority if not all of this music, so talking about how the music / lyrics are strong but how much you just hate her voice is completely pointless. Without her voice none of the other stuff would exist. I love ya Natalie, much love from the 757!!!!!!!

    U.... B....

    It technically would exist if she gave it to another person like most producers.

    U.... B....

    dat sh*t is funky yo

    U.... B....

    Natalie is a key song writer but if you actually owned this record you would realize that the writing credits for the music are vast...Trey Pollard is responsible for most the string arrangements which make up most of the record. This was put out by spacebomb records and the spacebomb house band contributed a fair amount to the sound of this record. Also, Daniel Clarke is credited throughout this record. So please shut the fuck up and think about all the amazing musicians that go into creating a record this great. Natalie is amazing but this record was not writin "mostly" by anyone.

  17. D.... H....

    She cannot sing. Period.

    D.... H....

    You're wrong

    D.... H....

    You can sing better??

    D.... H....

    Fuc off

  18. y.... ....

    This album is so frustrating. The music is awesome and sometimes beautiful. But, Natalie has such a weak voice. She cannot carry most of it. She's not a very good singer. Ugh!!!!!!!!!

    y.... ....

    @Quorthon Venom I don't need any suggestions on what to listen to. I have a ton of knowledge of music. I'm just saying that Natalie's voice is not strong enough to carry these beautiful songs. I hope she gets better. "Because it fits the topic" is a weak argument and very vague.

    y.... ....

    @Andrew James
    There's a great Morrissey quote about Elizabeth Fraser's singing. Look it up. It's hilarious.

    y.... ....

    @youpumpertube Why you got to be so angry dude? I just thought you might enjoy Nell. I mean its ok if you are disappointed with the album, you don't have to be so aggressive dude. I got a copy and I enjoy it, have a nice day pal :)

    y.... ....

    @Quorthon Venom
    You must be a dandelion if you think that is anger. Seek your therapist.

    y.... ....

    @quorthon - you don't understand, youpump got a "ton of knowledge of music" lolololol.

  19. L.... M....

    Addicted to it

  20. 5.... G....

    Violins at the end tho....

  21. R.... S....

    later ..... with jools holland brought me here lol

  22. J.... B....

    I feel very lucky to have heard this. Sublime.

  23. c.... ....

    Horns remind me a little of Joni Mitchell's Help Me.

  24. n.... c....

    Natalie Prass and Jessica Pratt? Both similar sounding names and artists?

  25. K.... K....

    pure joy

  26. K.... K....

    Like it. So 70's in the arrangement. Reminds me of the Burt Bachrach records on the hi-fi at my parent's cocktail parties.

  27. E.... B....

    That hook tho.

  28. c.... ....

    She's the kind of girl that I drink myself to death knowing that I can have her and never will

  29. S.... S....

    how does a account with 500 subs be a record company and have a video with over 200,00 views? something seems off....

    S.... S....

    +Laracroftgamer Don't quite understand. What's the question?

    S.... S....

    +Spacebomb Records how come so many views but so few subscribers, they're asking?

    S.... S....

    i don't think it's meant as an insult. or at least it can be taken many different ways. it's sort of not fair that a company with this good music doesn't get more subscribers, is how i read it.

  30. n.... c....

    natalie prass channelling her inner tori amos / kate miller heidke :P

  31. r.... n....

    S'realy great

  32. b.... ....

    Does anyone else think this rips off "Southern Man"

  33. W.... M....

    echte Musiker... muahhh^^

  34. C.... S....

    What really attracts me to this song is that the voice sounds so cutting through the mix.  That's for all of the people who think the vocals are too loud.  It is a very a effective mix and I find it appealing.

    C.... S....

    +Charles Snyder I don't think the vocals are to loud but the mix isnt great.

    C.... S....

    I love her vocals too. They remind me of Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins.

  35. M.... G....

    I can understand that some wouldnt like Natalie Prass' voice however I simply adore it and her music and lyrics. Clean, slick and yet so soulful. "My baby don't understand me" is a another favourite not to mention "Plunder" and "Violently"
    Cannot stop listening.

    M.... G....

    Agree, Violently is a beauty

    M.... G....

    Her newest album is even better imo

  36. F.... A....

    Looked for this song for the longest damn time.... Finally found you!

    F.... A....

    Same here :) Heard it once & couldn't get it out of my head. Sublime, beautiful & unusual track <3

  37. K.... M....

    This is gorgeous!! Her voice is pure and clean and supple and just because she's not a belter doesn't mean she's not terrific... all you haters in the comment thread, wise up.

    Smaller but exceptionally well-deployed voices can be just as effective and enjoyable as loud brassy ones. (Blossom Dearie?) Her phrasing, emotional investment, and lilting ease are a breath of fresh air.

  38. C.... L....

    LOVE this! So nice to hear something new and DIFFERENT!

  39. M.... J....

    Her voice reminds me of a ballerina's movements -somewhat rigid but graceful; exact but fluid? (if that makes sense) :)

  40. B.... ....

    Very nice came here after seeing on Jools Holland, I love the muted horns and the vibrato she used on the Jools show on the phrase "but to run away". Are the band included in the normal live set-up, anyone know?

    B.... ....

    @Kamy Kershner Thanks for that!

  41. l.... ....

    I think the voice is just too loud.  It's honestly not that bad, it's just loud in comparison to the strength of the song that is the music.

    l.... ....

    @loganonamac7 Ms. Prass has a very soft thin voice like Janet Jackson, the music would over power her vocals if they try to place it more in the mix.

    l.... ....

    @loganonamac7
    Yes I agree, an unusual mix decision to place it so dry and up front, it sounds like it's not part of the music. But she has a good voice, the arrangements are breezy.

    l.... ....

    @loganonamac7 wow....think before you speak, assturd

    l.... ....

    @Skate Boards I'll keep that in mind, fucktard.

    l.... ....

    @Skate Boards Troll on elsewhere troll!

  42. s.... k....

    FUCK IT UP BISHHH, THIS DEBUT IS FUCKING AMAZING!

  43. b.... b....

    Just heard this on jools Holland...v nice!

  44. P.... G....

    <<<<<<<<

  45. M.... C....

    Such a beautiful delicate voice and catchy tune!!

  46. n.... b....

    Love the voice,Love the song, and those subtle horns. ...

  47. I.... ....

    What an insipid voice, but the music is mighty fine.

    I.... ....

    @Internetpolice666 Did you ever think to realize that it's a style to "sound like a six year old girl"? Because it most certainly is.

    I.... ....

    @IgBtac0 Sounding like you cant sing could be construed as a style too.  Either way, both seem pretty pointless to my ears.

    I.... ....

    Meh. The record company contracted her. They must've seen real potential since she isn't some crazy pop singer that can get away with autotune.

    I.... ....

    Yep, record companies really know what they're doing.  ;-)

    I.... ....

    @Internetpolice666 You've got a point

  48. D.... S....

    Why is this so tight

    D.... S....

    amazing sound engineering. perfect.

  49. I.... ....

    Vocal stylings like michael and janet jackson. I like this a lot.

  50. �.... �....

    Sounds like Paul McCartney, imho

  51. m.... l....

    Real musicians!  Wow!  Extra points!  Plus Natalie has a wonderful voice.  There's a lot to like here.

  52. F.... Y....

    MAAAAn!!! I am simply knocked OUT by everything I have heard from her new album...just Great !! 
    InCREDIble production... a bit reminiscent of the 60's.... EXcellent songwriting... think I may have to order this album.
    A MAjor, major talent.

    F.... Y....

    @Forque YU Gugle So much praise, and then you go; think I may have to order this album.You some sort of tightass?

  53. S.... K....

    Music is great. The voice also irritates me. Better at some points but still irritating. 

  54. M.... B....

    Just heard on Double J. Awesome track.

  55. K.... M....

    So good

  56. M.... C....

    I've heard this and Christy and I gotta admit the melodies just stuck in my head and sparked my interest. Thanks Natalie, hope you'll come to Italy one day so I can hear your beautiful voice live!

  57. K.... M....

    Has anyone heard her new album on Pitchfork?!?! Seriously amazing http://pitchfork.com/advance/615-natalie-prass/
