Pigeons from Pigeons EP by Fowl
This is a Fowl song that Fowl have now been singing for many years in many places with many people. It is not a Fowl song that is usually sung by Fowl alone - people join in often before the first verse has ended. We invited many of our friends to contribute and many of them did as you can hear. We asked them to try and refrain from adding harmonies in the first verse and most kept to the plan. David added some mouth trumpet to the last verse - which was a lovely suprise.

Lyrics
Pigeons can distinguish Monet from Picasso
Pigeons can distinguish Monet from Picasso
But nobody knows which one they prefer
Nobody knows which one they prefer
Fish can distinguish Bach from Stravinsky
Fish can distinguish Bach from Stravinsky
But nobody knows which one they prefer
Nobody knows which one they prefer
Guinea pigs can distinguish Bentleys from Mercedes
Guinea pigs can distinguish Bentleys from Mercedes
But nobody knows which one they prefer
Nobody knows which one they prefer
Lizards can distinguish Gaudi from Richard Rogers
Lizards can distinguish Gaudi from Richard Rogers
But nobody knows which one they prefer
Nobody knows which one they prefer
Milkmen can distinguish liver from religion
Milkmen can distinguish liver from religion
But nobody knows which one they prefer
Nobody knows which one they prefer
