This next tune I'd like to do for you is called Birds. It's about birds - ha. It's about real birds - about the kind of birds that you see every day that hang out around. It's not about pelicans or anything like that. It's starlings, sparrows. Actually, sometimes when I sing this song I wish I was still in school. I can't remember what you call it, but it's a real big one of them - it's a simile or metaphor or one of those things. Where something appears to be something else, but it really isn't, or something like that, I don't know ... anyway, it's called Birds, about a couple of lovebirds. Neil Young The Canterbury House, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA November, 1968
