Fish & Bird Lyrics

Lyric discussion by eineidloff 

Cover art for Fish & Bird lyrics by Tom Waits

Song about pedophilia. No kidding; the album was written as music for a play about Lewis Carrol and his supposed feelings for a little girl, whom he based his protagonist in Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking glass on. Rumour has it that Lewis was in love with Alice. The song is a metaphor for an impossible relationship that ultimately fails, but Lewis forever pretends Alice is his. Still a lovely song?:P
