Cover art for Birds Fly lyrics by They Might Be Giants

I found meaning simular to PlutoniumBoss's, I think its someone who realizes he isnt a good person, and knows he should feel guilty about it but doesnt. So he down plays the seriousness and nastyness of the things he does with things like the cheerful tone to which the lyrics are sung. He wouldnt say hes been resisting arrest, and made a lucky get away, he'd say he was given a lucky charm. He wouldnt say he stomps cats to death, he'd say they dance around his feet. and he cant help it if birds fly into his windshield, he just happened to swerve and... well, maybe I've seen Clockwork Orange too many times but thats what it seemed like to me. I refer you to PlutB above for the narrators minimal 'good intentions' and his 'best part'. oh, and as for the things he writes, I always thought that was a reference to grafiti. The colorfull spell, is his rose colored glasses take on the things he does.
