Lyrics for Birdie Brain as interpreted by tirhascragoo

Birdie Brain Lyrics
I hate the steam train that whistles woozy my bird brain,
That sends my spaniel insane.
And I’ll stop riding side saddle if they don’t stop the clickity clattle,
I’ll jump in the undertow penguin paddle and drown in my wedding gown.
I’ve been told the Bronx River stream on moonlit nights is meant
To seem like the Rhone in a glacier icy dream but then in a poof t’s sulfur steam.
I hate the aeroplane that nearly misses my birdie brain,
That terrifies my terrier insane.
And I’ll stop riding side saddle if they don’t stop the clickity clattle,
I’ll jump in the undertow penguin paddle and drown in my wedding gown.
I was drinking by the Des Plaines River when the naught of night
Served for making me shiver and me the squirrels would hold hands
And quiver cause that damnable diesel never fails to deliver.
I hate the livery cars that have my bird brain seeing stars,
That drive my Doberman to drink in bars.
And I’ll stop riding side saddle if they don’t stop the clickity clattle,
I’ll jump in the undertow penguin paddle and drown in my wedding gown.
I hate the steam train that whistles woozy my bird brain,
That sends my spaniel insane.
And I’ll stop riding side saddle if they don’t stop the clickity clattle,
I’ll jump in the undertow penguin paddle and drown in my dressing gown.

that's all I've got to say. between geographical landmarks, horseback riding, dresses, penguins, and sporadic dog breeds, I don't know what to think of this song.

I do knot that I love it, however.

it's about modern society being too convoluted, too mechanized. The speaker(s) just want a return to simplicity because their current life is driving them insane.

This song seriously gave me brain damage. I do not know what to think of it. All I know is that the stupid bubble sound in the background seriously drives me.
All in all, a song that remains in your head for a long time.

I love how phonetic the Fiery Furnaces' lyrics are. They sound so good, even if you don't know what they mean. Like "clickity clattle" and "whistles whoozy", they're just fun to say and hear. It does seem like it might be a criticism of how humanity has negatively effected all other life on the planet, but then, it also might just be a really lovely way of saying noisy trains and planes are annoying..Good stuff, either way. :)
