Knights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A little bird told me that you love me (that you love me)
And I believe that you do (I believe you)
This little bird told me I was fallin' (really fallin')
Fallin' for no one but you (no one but you)
There's no use denying I might as well confess
Of all the boys I know, dear, I'm sure I love you best

The little bird told me we'd be happy (oh, so happy)
And I believe that it's true (so true)
A little bird told me we'd be married (gonna get married)
And I believe that it's true

This little bird told me when we marry (when we get married)
We'll have a pretty cottage not too far (yeah)
All fenced in like a movie stars
A great Dane pup, we'll call him Ace
Lyin' there by the fireplace
A goldfish pond and a wishin' well
Everything is gonna turn out swell

A little bird told her she'd be married
And we believe that it's true
This little bird said she'd have a family
Now tell us what we're gonna do

We'll have a pretty cottage not too far (yeah)
All fenced in like a movie stars
A great Dane pup, we'll call him Ace
Lyin' there by the fireplace
A goldfish pond and a wishin' well
Everything is gonna turn out swell

A little bird told me we'd be happy
And I believe that it's true (true)
She believes that it's true




And now, I know that it's true
Come June it's bound, bound to come true

Being fed regularly as a hunting aerial bird makes sense to me. It's win-win for both. Bird gets more food than they might get in the wild, and human gets a hunting bird for fun, for status etc.





imo Cormorants relationship is not as symbiotic. They tie a string that make it so the bird cannot swallow larger fish. If the bird wants to eat it either comes back to the shore (japan) or boat (china) on command to cough up the catch or is allowed to eat if the fisherman decides to loosen the string.



It doesn't seem like the bird benefits from giving up it's catch to the fisherman, even accounting for daily feeding if it can catch well into surplus.

you're pretty much getting a bird and saying 'hey, if you stick around you can chill out here and then go hunt sometimes and you will get food regularly and reliably' and the bird goes 'that sounds pretty chill i guess i'll stick around'

Stupid comment, yourself!

@FlameDarkfire

Basically how we domesticated dogs and cats.

@bcaye

@@vercingetorixavernian8978, sort of. Cats do develop affection for you and require affectionate attention from you. Not sure these birds do. They do seem content.
I say this because my rescue cat just crawled into my lap. He was born to a feral mother and when he came to stay with me he was ten weeks old and less than two pounds. He liked to curl up under my chin and suckle the tip of my finger when I slept.
Now he's 16-17 pounds at 4 years and has to settle for snuggling next to me with my hand on his chest. Purrs like crazy the whole time.
Actually, sometimes I struggle to get out of bed for all the cats snuggling up around me.

Your guests are always exceptionally gifted and knowledgeable like your falconer expert Ruth is. You ask really interesting questions. Thoroughly enjoyable as always.

- That guy running around the yard, flapping his arms and yelling "kiiyah"...?
- Oh, him... He tried to man a bird by keeping it awake, but the bird had a higher tolerance for sleep deprivation, so he became birded instead...

"Wild peregrins have been found to taken down brown pelicans at 5 times their weight" I have a new respect for this bird. I knew they could catch larger prey than themselves, but not that much larger.

It's like the original history channel. Really missed this- thanks for making it!
