Since I have been receiving numerous requests for the lyrics of "My Friend The Bird", I have procrastinated on writing them out. So today I am going to try to the best of my ability to remember them. If you need a translation from English to whatever you speak , that's on you , unless you want it in Spanish or Japanese.
     Just a side note, when i wrote this song in 1984 I was a little apprehensive about it. Up until then all the songs i had composed where pretty much primitive 2 to 3 chord garage punk songs. This was kind of my first try at writing a slower and different kind of song. I remember using Q65 ( the Dutch band ) as kind of a role model for this song.
   To my surprise "My Friend The Bird " turned out to be one of the most popular "Morlock" songs even to this day.

                                  MY FRIEND THE  BIRD

   Siting, in the smallest house in the neighborhood
     clutching a frame of despair
   Reach, in my empty pocket for the money i spent
     when I was happy , talking about my friend the bird , who just flew out of my mind.
   I climbed on his back and flew away, to a place much better than this.
    We never worried about anything, and I never thought of you , no, no, no, no
   I never thought of you.
              My friend the bird , well he flew away . . .
              My friend the bird , never to return . . .
  I climbed on his back and flew away , to a place where his friends where mine
    no track of time we we're so happy, and i never thought of you, no, no, no, no,
    I never thought of you.
             My friend the bird , well he flew away
             My friend the bird, never to return
   A girl , down the street shot him in the head, a real bad, bad, drug
     I picked him up and put him in a box, buried in the yard , talking bout my friend the bird , who just flew out of my mind.
   I climbed on his back and flew away , to a place much better than this. We never worried about anything, and I never thought of you, no,no,no,no , I never thought of you . . .
          My friend the bird, well he flew away
          My friend the bird, never to return . . .
