Why do birds suddenly appear?

Dan I just nearlly got booted out of here for over the top laughter. That killed me. Maybe that says something about my sense of humour. I'm actually crying. I really needed that. Thanks.

STILL laughing at the alf garnet thing. AM IN PAIN. *Hayley crouches under library desk and hopes to god she doesn't piss herself*

maybe it's birds as in other women, coz he's a stud

chilli fleets my tonsil all day, so beeeeeeein logicall, I no all thing is scienctific traffic bollocky masheen. greetings from Flip-Flop

Just looked at again. And it made me laugh again. I've just sent the link to a friend I'd argued with and we are now friends again. Thank you Dan. Gawd bless ye.

Remember Alice Cooper's "School's Out"? There's a line in that that goes, "We can't even think of a word that rhymes." I think the word they're trying to rhyme with is Innocence, which is a bit tricky, but it's a bit of a cop-out to just admit you can't do it. Surely a little bit more work and they wouldn't have found it so hard to write the next line that rhymed.

its because they just went on a picnic and he accidentally sat on his peanut butter and jelly sandwich and now the birds want the peanut butter. [%sig%]

What does "the blues" have anything to do with birds? Or anything for that matter?

Excellent. I am now laughing so much, will never get back to sleep.

Maybe she was dreaming, lucid, awake, who knows. In dream lore, seeing birds is a sign of pending prosperity and all disagreeable things will vanish before the wave of prosperity hits the dreamer. But it gets better, to see shooting and falling stars is a sign of pending sadness and grief. So, it's simple. The writer of the song (was it her?) knew in advance what would eventually happen. She'd fall in love only to be heartbroken in the end. Longing for something that one can't have. The woman was depressed when she wrote this.

She's dating the guy who does those falconry exhibitions.

Birds seem to be the only animal/living being that can avoid natural disaster. Could birds actually be more evolved than us. Sometimes i think so. At times i have connected with birds. I mean that in a spiritual kind of way, i think. Yeah birds. Im dressing up like a bird these days.

i guess thats why they call it the blues

Thank you Stephen I'm nearly dead right now but every time I read the lyrics of a new song I"ll be thinking Karen Carpenter!

Well, if I do say myself, those birds were a wee bit hungry and emaciated. They saw the mans bloody food and wanted to savor at the most, a tiny morsel lingering, soon to plumit down to earth. You shouldn't blame em'. I bet you would do the same ol' thing they did, circling the open skies for just the precise instant to swoop. I know I would... Ofcourse, if the man strolling through the park was going to eat all of his food then durn those birds to unexistence. Leave the poor man alone. But, all in all, it depends on what he was eating, why he was eating it, and why did he have to eat it in the park? Don't blame the birds, it may be the man stalking the birds... [%sig%]

I definately disagree, with dublindian... those birds really do not like that man. Karen is just a stalker, like Clay Aiken... She dreams about being one of those birds in the sky always there, watching... waiting. Anticipating the time when she can just be invisible like a bird... "oh, wait she already is".

Andru A'dunno... your spelling really needs improvement. I have no idea how you even passed the 2nd grade with those grammatic skills. I've seen extremely horrible typing in my time, but there is no excuse for that hurrendous mess of letters.

You obviously haven't read the mastermind threads.

Maybe they're vultures circling.

They usually disappear when I turn up

Perhaps he's pulling a plough behind him.

or always arrives in a fishing trawler?

Maybe he's made out of bread?

Or worms?

She says it's because: they, just like her, long to be close to him. Which is plainly ridiculous. More likely, I'd suggest, it's her giving him an alibi. Another song that troubles me is True by Spandau Ballet, which includes this bit: I bought a ticket to the world, but now I've come back again Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Never really understood why he should find it so hard. Furthermore, why mention it in the middle of a song. I just don't get it.

If he had a ticket to the world and then came back again one would think he would have lots to write about... perhaps when he was writing it he felt spoilt for choice and therefore pencilled in 'why do I find it hard to write the next line?' to be deleted and replaced with something more suitable later. But he forgot. So we have a song writer's musings and work process there for all to see. I am also a fan of lyrics that are unfathomable or sound like something else. When we were kids my sister was adamant that that Bananarama song Love in the third degree or whatever it was called included the line, 'Cos I'm guilty (guilty) guilty as a drunken bee.' she may have had a point. A drunken bee wouldn't be much use to the hive and thus would be deemed guilty by his fellow bees....

I think the clue is in the next verse, when she asks; Why do stars fall out of the sky, Every time you walk by? He is obviously carrying a black hole in his pocket, as this is the only object with enough gravitational pull to do that to stars. She probably sees the birds for a second or two before they disappear below the event horizon. This would also explain the time distortion where " every minute you're away seems to last more than a day" I am still working on a unified theory of time and gravity, which will finally tell us who put the shang in the shang-alang-a-ding-dong.

Because he's a magician?

more missheard song lyrics

The reason birds appear everytime he's near is that he's obviously kind of bird magnet. He probably walks in nightclubs and they flock round him slipping him their phone numbers. She's just jealous. Bastard. I wish birds appeared everywhere I went. If Spandau Ballet has bought a ticket to the world and has now come back, where are they basing the song? Not in the world, that's for sure.

Loved Scarlets thread, me I love birds and could watch them for hour's the feathered kind I hasten to say but can't help thinking all this analysising of some of these lovely songs is rather taking the beauty out of them a bit just a thought...

Is she addressing a large sack of carrion? And is it the same sack of carrion that she was rumoured to take everywhere with her ..and perhaps what eventually led to the break-up of The Carpenters?? Richard just couldn't take the stench, apparently. And why do her biographers refuse to mention this part of the Karen myth?? I smell a conspiracy.. [%sig%]

You people are all twats :p She loves this guys and that's why she sees birds singing, when your in love you start noticing singing birs and beautiful skies and all that bullsh*t. So birds don't appear, she just notice them because she's in love. Greetings from Belgium.

Are you related to Jammers by any chance? Condolences from Britain for having to live in Belgium...you Twat.

Maybe the singer of "why do birds suddenly appear" was in fact dating a bird. A bird of EXTRAORDINARY size, of course, to be dating someone of human species. A bird that gigantic would be superior to other birds of it's particular classification, thus making him alphabird. When he is near, his many followers appear, because, frankly, if I was a tiny bird in this big old bird-eat-bird world, i'd want to stick by my 6'' leader, even if he is weak enough to date someone in a band as lame as The Carpenters.

A Belgian with a sense of humour??? Blimey wonders never cease. Well at least you don't like the French, which can't be a bad thing can it?

maybe he got worms

..birds can sense stuff like that!
