The Pelican Lyrics

Cover art for The Pelican lyrics by Menomena

Don't forget the poem "A wonderful bird is the pelican His beak can hold more than his belly can."

I think it's an extended metaphor about someone who has a wide circle of people that they're 'interested' in, but is pissed off when someone starts poaching said people. Like when you take away a toy that a baby isn't playing with.
