Man of Golden Words Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Bellyfull of Swans 

Cover art for Man of Golden Words lyrics by Mother Love Bone

If any of you people have been lucky enough to experience true love...I submit this:

The Birdman of Alcatrazz was famous for keeping pigeons at the jail. They became his hobby, then friends, then he became a bit obsessed with them, eventually collecting hundreds in a coop. When he eventually got out of Jail he released all of his birds.

And on her arrival I will set free the birds....

One of the best lines ever if you know that story.

This song also features the phrase "Temple of the Dog" which became the band that formed for an album to pay tribute to Andy Wood after he died.

My favorite Mother Love Bone song.
