They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul


i'm quite into this late 1980's band They Might Be Giants now ever since i saw their Birdhouse IN Your Soul video on MTV. It has this crazy feel about it... haha it feels very me! If i ever compose a song ( ok, probably when i have retired from my multi-billionaire business), it would be this! this song is so me!!

it starts off with this line

I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

i noe you would be like wtf is this stupid song by now, but this actually appeals to me!

disturbing i know.

well, enjoy the video!


lyrics here:

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary One note, spelled L-I-T-E
My story's infinite Like the Longines Symphonette
It doesn't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores
And kept the beaches shipwreck-free
Though I respect that a lot I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off And countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels it's
Always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

While you're at it
Leave the nightlight on
Inside the birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch)
While you're at it (Who watches over you)
Leave the nightlight on (Make a little birdhouse in your soul)
Inside the birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it:
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch)
While you're at it (Who watches over you)
Leave the nightlight on (Make a little birdhouse in your soul)
Inside the birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

beautiful song really, just made for me. =)
