Your Love
Phoebe Buffay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is wondrous work of hours.
But your love, oh your love, your love,
Is like a giant pigeon, prepping on my heart.
Phoebe Buffay's song "Your Love" has an interesting take on the concept of love. The opening lines, "Your love is sweet as summer showers, love is the wondrous work of hours," showcases the positive aspects of love in general. However, the next line takes a comedic twist, "but your love, oh your love, your love, is like a giant pigeon, prepping on my heart."
The comparison of love to a giant pigeon is bizarre but funny, and it gives the impression that the love she's describing is overwhelming and a bit suffocating. The song's repeated refrain of "lalala lalalalala lalalala lalalaoooooh" is simple but effective in conveying the emotions of the song. It's a catchy tune, and the upbeat melody is contrasted by the darker lyrics, which creates an interesting juxtaposition.

Phoebe is definitively the most interesting character on Friends. She is free-minded, musically gifted, full of jokes and serious in the same time. Phoebe belongs in the Hippie era.

She has weird songs, but the "la la's" at the end of this one actually calm me
