STARLING WARS

There's a fantastic 70s leaning pop-rock album Ticket to Shangri-La released in 2023 (Young Gun Silver Fox) with a song called Starting Wars. I miss heard and mis-read the title as Starling Wars which seemed a great metaphor for something. It could have applied to a relationship - but the 2 wars going on became the theme Starling Wars You fly in to foul my nest Seeing red I puff out my chest Aiming at your catacombs Dropping all my guano bombs Flit across and I peck at you Cause my beliefs are the only truth Starling wars it’s about pecking order Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter I ruffle your feathers You think that you’re better Ethnically superior The plumage of an emperor Gonna peck my eye’s right out Squawk about it loud and proud Starling wars it’s about pecking order Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter Em7 Dma7 Ami7 G Bb/C F F#m7 B Underneath there’s the dove of peace Peeking out at the busy streets I Wrap your eggs neath protective wings Drop a flower confess my sins Fleeting thought it just flies away Revenge is sweet gonna make you pay Starling wars it’s about pecking order Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter
