I know a little bluebird
I sure wish she would sing for me
I'll tell you all, I know, I know a little bluebird
I sure, I sure wish she would sing for me
I'll tell you why

She's been flying around so long, oh Lord
I wish she would land in my tree
Every time she goes by, I want to cut her wings, yeah
I say every, every, every, every, every, every, every
Every time she goes by, oh, I want to clip her wings
You know why

So we can lock up in her nest together
Oh, I'll buy her pretty things, yes I will
Oh, little bluebird, please come and nest with me
Oh, Lord, have mercy, little bluebird
Please, oh, please come and nest with me
I'll tell you why

Oh, I'll make life so wonderful, baby
You and me in my tree, oh

Oh, little bluebird, please come nest with me
I think I better call her again a little louder
Oh, Lord, have mercy, you pretty little bluebird
Please, please, please come and nest with me

Oh, I'll make life so wonderful, baby, yes I will
You and me in my tree, oh

Oh, little bluebird, it's true that I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Oh, I love you when you fly, baby
Oh, little bluebird, Lord yeah, just keep on, keep on
Whatever you're doing, keep on flying with me
Oh, oh, oh, little bluebird

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
