Mr. Bird himself has this to say in a recent interview: "I have songs like “Sick of Elephants,” which pretty directly talks about Bush getting re-elected."
So, that's that! However, as someone mentioned previous, Andrew doesn't typically get involved in political issues in his personal life or in his music, as further evidenced by another quote from the same interview just sentences after the Bush quote... "There are things I feel strongly about, universal issues that are not particularly partisan."
