Cover art for Bird Song lyrics by Florence + the Machine

This song reminds me of Bukowski's poem called Bluebird.

Bluebird

>

  • Charles Bukowski
  • there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you.

  • Charles Bukowski
  • there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you.

    there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pur whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there.

    there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay down, do you want to mess me up? you want to screw up the works? you want to...

    Reminds me of The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe...
