Astronauts 'n' All Lyrics

Hey, I hear the futurebirds,
it's called spaceships,
astronauts and all
lets trade all these types of things
for wings. (x2)

Make it happen, boys & girls(x8)

Hey, I hear the futurebirds,
it's called spaceships,
astronauts and all
lets trade all these types of things
for wings. (x2)

Hey, I hear the futurebirds, it's called spaceships,

i don't hear the cause.

Make it happen, fight them (x8)

The Lyric actually is...and this is from Yannis himself....

"Make it happen, for Boy, for Girl"

...i think its pretty tricky to work out the song meaning....but i guess everyone has their own thoughts on it....

My Fave Foals song..

i think its about being free, trading in all the pressure to earn money and being free.

opportunities for everyone, boy or girl.

I can hear the "Make it happen, for boy, for girl" reckon it's right

I'd agree with the theory about abandoning everything, seems to be a longing to be free of modern stresses. I think though there's a kind of joke with Yannis singing "I hear the futurebirds, it's called spaceships, astronauts and all" as in the future is supposedly all about space exploration but he's saying if he could he would literally trade all that for wings so we could all be free as a bird I guess. Sounds pretty far off probably but I do think there's a bit of a joke in this song.
