Sweetbreads Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Jykone 

Cover art for Sweetbreads lyrics by Andrew Bird

At the concert in Boston that I went to, he was describing where this song came from. He said he had a dream of flipping through a French cookbook, and then he came upon a page entitled 'Sweetbreads', and in parenthesis it said 'Thoughts'. Then he goes on to say how it might be possible to eat the brain to find out what something is about. It's a lovely song and the explanation he gave was really cute - I have the video of him talking about it if anybody wants to watch it.
