Little Bird
Infant Sorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drink the champagne from my lips.
Take a flying saucer trip
To the stars in my eyes.
Little bird,
Sitting on the tip of my tongue.
Though you look a bit too young,
Your words, like butterflies, dance around my head.
Your body, like forbidden wine, spills out of my bed.
Hope your daddy doesn't mind.
Hope your mummy doesn't mind.
Hope your granny doesn't mind.
Hope your grandpa doesn't mind.
Little bird,
You have got to be eighteen,
Or a few years past your teens;
Or you are in my eyes.
Little bird,
If you are born before ninety-two,
Then you know just what to do;
Rip the stars from my eyes.
Your words, like butterflies, dance around my head.
Your body, like a cherry pie, spills out of my bed.
Hope your daddy doesn't mind.
Hope your mommy doesn't mind.
Hope your nana doesn't mind.
Hope your grandpa doesn't mind.
Little bird,
Brand new galaxies await you.
Open up and let me take you
To the stars.
Your words, like butterflies, dance around my head.
Your body, like forbidden wine, spills out of my bed.
Hope your daddy doesn't mind.
Hope your mommy doesn't mind.
Hope your granny doesn't mind.
Hope your grandpa doesn't mind.
Hope your daddy doesn't mind.
Hope your mommy doesn't mind.
Hope your daddy doesn't mind.
Hope your mommy doesn't mind.
Little bird.
Little bird.
Little bird.
The song "Little Bird" by the fictional band Infant Sorrow is a playful and provocative track that celebrates the pleasures of physical attraction and the thrill of seduction. The lyrics are addressed to a young lover, described as a "little bird" who is tempted to explore new sensations and experiences with the singer. The lyrics use vivid images of champagne, flying saucers, stars, butterflies, cherry pie, and other sensuous elements to create a dreamlike and surreal atmosphere.
At the same time, the song acknowledges the potential risks and consequences of such a liaison, as expressed in the repeated refrain of "Hope your daddy doesn't mind / Hope your mommy doesn't mind / Hope your granny doesn't mind / Hope your grandpa doesn't mind". These lines suggest that the relationship may be viewed as inappropriate or taboo by society or by the family members of the young partner.
