Little bird, little bird, little bird
What do you hear?
The clink of morning cheers
Orange juice concentrate
Crossword puzzles start to grade
One across
Four letter word, it's just not sitting
Little bird, little bird, little bird
What do you see?
A picture perfect scene
Two toned lawns are manicured
The gardens wearing haute couture
It's hiding something
It's trying too hard
Hiding something
It's trying too hard
Little bird, little bird, little bird
Where are they now?
Day time tv lounge
A carriage clock, a mantle piece
A family wiped up, j cloth cleaned
Unsaid, festers in the throws of the sofa
Little bird, little bird, little bird
How are you feeling?
Like? quarantine
Pearly whites, touch down smile
Haps and creases round the eyes
Tell tale, heart sail
We smell rats in the kitchen
Tell tale, heart sail
We smell rats in the kitchen
Little bird, little bird, little bird
What can we do?
A think tank think rescue
Simon says, etch a sketch
Send a golden message only he would get
Quickly now
Cause this is not how it ends
Little bird, little bird, little bird
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
Well I've got one more question
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
And I swear I'll let it rest
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
Well I've just one more question
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
And I swear I'll let it rest
One more question
I'll let it rest
I swear I'll let it rest
Got one more question
(And I swear I'll let it rest)
I've got one more question
Little bird, little bird, little bird
Where have you gone?

"Satellite Heart" by Anya Marina
So pretty, so smart
Such a waste of a young heart
What a pity, what a sham
What's the matter with you, man?
Don't you see it’s wrong, can't you get it right?
Out of mind and outta sight
Call on all your girls, don't forget the boys
Put a lid on all that noise
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I'll be true to you
I hear you're living out of state
Running in a whole new scene
They say I haven't slept in weeks
You're the only thing I see
I'm a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I'll be true to you
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop I start
But I'll be true to you
No matter what you do
Yeah I’ll be true to you
Oooooooooo

"The Winter Song" by Eisley
Walking home with the snow
It is falling down
Passing by lit windows
The people inside, they wave from the glow
Chimney smoke billowing
Snowflakes on my lashes
Oh one starry night I was walking
And singing this song
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
Walking home with the snow
It is falling down
Passing by lit windows
The people inside, they wave from the glow
Chimney smoke billowing
Snowflakes on my lashes
Oh one starry night I was walking
And singing this song
[Singing]La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
It's that day again
It's that time of year
With our smiling faces
We will sing with cheer
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la

"Curse Your Branches" by David Bazan
red and orange or red and yellow
in which of these do you believe
if you’re not sure right now please take a moment
i need your signature before you leave
when i sleep i’m usually dreaming
though more and more it’s only one
where every hired gun i’ve ever fired
is making love to you while i look on
all fallen leaves should curse their branches
for not letting them decide where they should fall
and not letting them refuse to fall at all
digging up the root of my confusion
if no one planted it, then how does it grow
and why are some hell bent upon there being an answer
while some are quite content to answer i don’t know
all fallen leaves should curse their branches
for not letting them decide where they should fall
and not letting them refuse to fall at all

"Hard to Be" by David Bazan
You’ve heard the story
You know how it goes
Once upon a garden
We were lovers with no clothes
Fresh from the soil
We were beautiful and true
In control of our emotions
Til we ate the poison fruit
And now it’s hard to be
Hard to be, hard to be
A decent human being
Wait just a minute
You expect me to believe
That all this misbehaving
Grew from one enchanted tree
And helpless to fight it
We should all be satisfied
With this magical explanation
For why the living die
And why it’s hard to be
Hard to be, hard to be
A decent human being
Childbirth is painful
We toil to grow our food
Ignorance made us hungry
Information made us no good
Every burden misunderstood
So I swung my tassle
To the left side of my cap
Knowing after graduation
There would be no going back
And no congratulations
From my faithful family
Some of whom are already fasting
To intercede for me
Because it’s hard to be…..

"Marvelous Things" by Eisley
I awoke the dawn
Saw horses growing out the lawn
Ah ah .....
I glimpsed a bat with butterfly wings
Oh what marvelous things
Ah ah....
Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
I followed a rabbit
Through rows of mermaid entwined Shrubbery
Ah ah....
Oh what marvelous things but, they are, they are, they are
Giving me the creeps
Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
Oh...lying in the sun
Everday feeling all of the magic in life
You might find the wonder.....
Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
Ah ah.....

"I Will Follow You into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie
Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
