[Intro]
[Slow bass, cigarette lighter, male spoken voice]
"So you're taking over the bird case, eh?
Let me tell you what really happened that day..."

[Verse 1 - The Real Birdie]
[Dark, narrative punk, male vocals]
Your girl Birdie wasn't what she seemed
Been singing to us since she was seventeen
Her uncle ran crews across the fucking nation
Professional thieves, organized predation
She came to us when he killed her brother
Said she'd give us names, one after another
That shop job with Kelly was her exit plan
Till we told her about the bigger man

[Verse 2 - The Night Explained]
[Building tension, investigative tone]
See, Birdie picked that store for a reason
Her uncle's lieutenant was making his treason  
Skimming from the crew, hiding cash in the back
Birdie was supposed to grab it and not look back
But she brought Kelly as her fucking cover
An innocent friend, not quite a lover
When Emma beat them down, it saved our case
Gave us reason to hide Birdie's face

[Verse 3 - The Deal]
[Faster, urgent delivery]
In the ambulance, Birdie made her choice
"I'll give you everyone, but save my voice
Kelly doesn't know about the crew
She's just a desperate kid I grew up through"
We pulled Birdie out after day three
Staged a transfer that no one would see
Let Kelly think she'd been abandoned
While we got every criminal Birdie handed

[Verse 4 - The Deletion]
[Technical, cold delivery]
Erasing someone's harder than you'd think
Every document, every fucking link
Birth certificate stays but school records go
Social media died, nice and slow
We gave her a new name, new fucking past
Rebecca Smith, boring and classed
Moved her to Cardiff, then to Leeds
Kept her moving based on our needs

[Bridge - The Guilt]
[Slower, emotional undertone]
She asked about Kelly every fucking week
"Is she surviving? Is she still weak?"
We told her nothing, that's the rule
But Birdie knew Kelly was nobody's fool
"She'll come looking when she gets out
She always was too loyal to doubt"

[Verse 5 - The Problem]
[Ominous building]
Here's the thing about your little bird
She's been playing us with every word
Those names she gave? All fucking true
But she kept the biggest prize from view
Her uncle's books, the real treasure map
She's got it hidden, the clever chap
Ten million pounds in offshore accounts
She's waiting till her protection counts

[Verse 6 - The Warning]
[Direct, threatening tone]
Kelly gets out in eighteen months' time
She'll come looking for her partner in crime
And when she finds what Birdie's done
That's when the real shit's gonna come
'Cause Kelly's hard now, properly trained
Five years in max, properly pained
And your bird? She's soft from being saved
This protection we gave? It's her fucking grave

[Final Chorus]
[Cynical anthem]
I've been doing this for twenty years
Seen snitches, saints, and profiteers
But Birdie's special, I'll give her that
Playing everyone while playing flat
She sold her uncle, betrayed her friend
Thinks she's winning in the end
But Kelly's coming, Emma's around
And some birds aren't meant to leave the ground

[Outro]
[Lighter clicking closed]
"So that's your case now, son
A girl who thinks she's already won
But I've seen this film before
When Kelly finds her, there'll be war
And that clerk Emma? Keep her number
She might be needed to break up the thunder"

[End]
[Phone ringing ominously]
