1. The Birds were a mid-60s British R&B band that released four 45s, including the proto punk classic 'Leaving Here'. This band is an important footnote in the story of British rock, because Jeff Beck Group, Faces and The. Rolling Stones guitarist, Ronnie Wood), was in the band.
2. The Birds were a late 1960s Australian rock band that was loosely based on the British Birds above. The band was formed when Terry Clarke (ex-The Preachers) and a couple of (British) Birds roadies emigrated to Perth, Australia, where they put together a new incarnation of The Birds. These Aussie Birds recorded cover versions of Marvin Gaye's 'No Good Without You' and The McCoys' 'Say Those Magic Words', but also (for the latter's B-side) the mean R&B rocker, 'Dust In My Pants'.
3. The Birds were a 2000s Japanese/Norwegian psychedelic ambient duo featuring Cotton Casino, formerly of Acid Mothers Temple, and Per Gisle Galaen of Sloburn and Del.

The lyrics of The Birds’ song “Good Times” tell the story of lost love and a broken heart. The singer is reflecting on the good times they had with their lover, but they no longer feel the same way. The first verses of the song address the changes in the relationship, with the chorus featuring the singer rejecting the idea of holding on to something that is no longer there. The singer dreams of the good times that are gone, but he knows he must move on. He realizes that it is a good thing that his lover cared about him, but he cannot keep holding on to the past.
The lyrics are simple but poignant, and the repetitive nature of the chorus reinforces the sense of the singer rejecting his past with his lover. The use of “no no no no no” in the chorus and the overall melancholy vibe of the song make it clear that the singer is not looking for a happy ending, but for closure. The song conveys the sense of loss and heartbreak that comes with ending a relationship, highlighting the need to move on and let go of the past.
