Get any of Artisan's albums. They're a three-piece a-capella group, one of whom is Brian Bedford who's a leading candidate for best British songwriter of the last decade (or more). "What's the use of wings" is a definite winner.

For all Artisan, see http://www.artifact.demon.co.uk/index.htm.

I think I heard them tell me that they loved me,
That they'd care for me, without them I would die.
But what's the use of roots if you can't spread them?
And what's the use of wings if you can't fly?

Graham.
