Steam Powered Giraffe - Airheart Lyrics






Her father fought in the great war
In an aeroplane named Bree
He gave his love to a pretty girl
And said, "Baby you're the one for me"
And though her name was Bree,
He still found it all a shock
When he found out she was an airplane,
The stork began to knock

A baby girl was born
With air rudders on her back
She picked up airwave frequencies
And petrol was her favorite snack
Whale she bubbled noises like an airplane
Every time she sang
And her heart it loved so hungrily,
And roared like a Mustang

That's why they called her

Airheart
Airheart
That girl was meant to fly
So prep the runway
Airheart
Airheart
That girl will soar away

She was an angel in her blue dress
When Little Jimmy Wright took her to prom
The young pilot said he loved her,
And oil began to clam her palm
Whale he was lost in the sky
And they said he had died,
But I know something more
They only found Jimmy's goggles,
In his plane upon the floor

Well years went by
And she still looked to the sky,
Her feelings did not disperse
She could fly any plane just like an ace
And kept goggles in her purse
And she swore she still heard Jimmy singing, "That'll Be the Way Home"
It would haunt her from her radio
In each sky that she would roam

Jimmy's voice echoed

Airheart
Airheart
I'm sorry that I flew away
But just remember
Airheart
Airheart
Keep flapping and you'll soar one day

Lets Fly!
Do you wanna sail into the sky?
Soar across the stars?
Sail into the sky?
Soar across the stars?
Sail into the sky?
Soar across the stars?
The stars?
The stars?!
The stars!

Then one fateful day
Ended with a storm streaked sky
Her plane crashed into the mountain side,
Was she flying much too high?
They only found Jimmy's goggles
In her plane upon the floor
I hope she's up there somewhere with him
Kissing on a cloudy shore

The birds were singing

Airheart
Airheart
That girl was meant to fly
So prep the runway
Airheart
Airheart
That girl will soar one day

Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Air-air ha ah art
Airheart!

  1. A.... T....

    V...volaire via?

  2. V.... P....

    I love how this song implies that as soon as the guy learned that his girlfriend was an airplane he immediately said "OOP TIME FOR ADULT TWISTER"

  3. T.... A....

    2:31 Who else is absolutely in love with this part? (“Let’s fly!” and the guitar solo)

  4. S.... C....

    I like to think of this as the final part of the "Tall Tales Trilogy" of songs featuring the life and death of folk-hero type characters, each representing a different element: Captain Albert Alexander (sea), Rex Marksley (land), and Airheart (sky).

    S.... C....

    Steven Coleman Would Cosmo classify as Fire? And Roller Skate King as Wind?

  5. V.... ....

    1,000th like!

  6. A.... T....

    That'll Be The Way, The Ballad of Lily and Airheart is. the best story i've ever heard.
    Aviation and planes is my entire thing and me and my pals love SPG so they literally call me Airheart. It's my nickname now.

  7. A.... L....

    If she crashed into a mountain, she wasn't flying too high... she wasn't flying *high enough*...

    A.... L....

    I think it was a question. Was she flying much too high? But I get your point.

  8. a.... n....

    remember the tsundere plane from undertale? this is her now. feel old yet?

    a.... n....

    anon nico OH GOD

  9. T.... P....

    A girl born from the union of a man and an airplane. She is an ace pilot. I have shared this with a lot of people I know and their response was always Defuq and I laugh every time The Ballad of Lily was perfect for this song as an introduction slow and lovely to catchy and upbeat

  10. N.... ....

    I love this song, and a nice tribute to an amazing woman. Cute story too! :) Thank you for the amazing song for Amelia Earhart.

  11. J.... H....

    Aeromorphs... *shudder*

    J.... H....

    NGL Aeromorphs and furries are totally ok as long as people aren't... you know.

    J.... H....

    Furry weddings.

  12. M.... R....

    I just realized, "That'll be the Way Home" is the song Jimmy sang her. I love it when the lore connects on these albums!

  13. H.... A....

    Instructions unclear dick stuck in propeller

  14. m.... w....

    I feel like I'm legally obligated to dance to this when I hear it

  15. s.... g....

    11 dislikes, why just why? This song is awesome.

  16. A.... t....

    Her father fought in the great war
    In an aeroplane named Bree
    He gave his love to a pretty girl
    And said, "Baby you're the one for me"
    And though her name was Bree,
    He still found it all a shock
    When he found out she was needed about tree fiddy






    And that the Loch Ness monster had tricked him again

    A.... t....

    Lol. I see what you did there. . 🤣

  17. K.... K....

    AFTER ONE YEAR, I FINALLY GET IT. AIRHEART. EARHART. AMELIA EARHART.

    Oh my goodness.

  18. M.... L....

    was this inspired by Amelia Earhart?

  19. H.... ....

    The first day I heard this song I thought this was about Amelia Earhart so I spent my day to research her and find out if this story was true... then I read the comments and its just about a man getting an airplane pregnant and the girl being half plane. The thumbnail now makes sense.

    H.... ....

    LennyFace I'm sure its a (somewhat bizzare) homage to Amelia. :)

  20. B.... n....

    I Love this Song because It's my Song. My Name is Ehrhardt.

  21. E.... B....

    Where could one find a jacket like the one on the picture?

  22. R.... B....

    I'm pretty sure this song is in a fictional world where storks bring babies, because they have the line "The stork began to knock."

    R.... B....

    Ryan Belliveau yes, that's the weird part of the story.

    R.... B....

    Or it could be a way to indirectly say the baby was coming without actually saying it.

    R.... B....

    @Demo Veggie Yep, since storks were often used to symbolize birth. (Also, nice profile picture. Do you know who the artist is?)

  23. m.... ....

    "Wait so you're a plane?....... SOLD"

  24. P.... C....

    i wonder how a pregnant plane look like ?

    P.... C....

    Pohkim Cheng like the Hindenburg xD

    P.... C....

    Don't google it you will regret it..unless you're into that.

    P.... C....

    rebbekah cannons you know people are gonna google it now. Thanks rebbekah xD

    P.... C....

    Oh yeah it's the don't touch the red button situation.

    P.... C....

    @V. R. That's funny!

  25. M.... ....

    "So you're an airplane huh?"
    He leaned in close, pressing his lips to her ears...
    "I'm gonna impregnate you!"

    This popped up in conversation while listening to this yesterday...

    M.... ....

    McMo0 😂😭

  26. N.... w....

    I like to think that he named the air plane Bree. He loved flying in Bree so much and he also was an inventor so he took her apart to create a robot out of her.. Kind of like how Hatchworth was once an old stove.. It's less weird that way... XD

    N.... w....

    logically make sense to me ~

  27. a.... ....

    God, the ending of this song is crafted with so much feeling, I tear up nearly every time...

  28. K.... H....

    I am captivated by that artwork.

  29. S.... C....

    I honestly.


    I love this song so much.

  30. B.... T....

    I do believe that Amelia would approve of this. She flew like her daddy was a pilot and momma was a plane. 😁

  31. E.... G....

    This song makes me tear up every time I listen to it... Love it! <3

  32. K.... S....

    I love it so much!! YESYES! Great work guys

  33. H.... X....

    Omg, I missed this classic! I wondered what happened to The Jon though. Like I tried to find info on it ever since Hatchworth became apart of the band but never got a clear answer. Also love this band and everything. Seriously, found this when I was listening to steampunk for the first time and that steampunk I listened to was a collection of many different steampunk bands.  Fell in deep love for the music. Abney Park, The Cog is Dead and Voltaire. They were three great bands but first song of Steam Powered Giraffe in it was Airheart and this takes me back to when I first listened to it. Then I moved to honeybee then so forth. I just loved this band and I want you to get a bigger following. You guys disserve it. Your band to me is like the Incredible Amazing Spider Hulk.

    H.... X....

    +Huan Xiang he left the band quite along time ago to persue other things.

    H.... X....

    Upgrade, the jon they left on good terms as they wanted to follow their own careers more, they're back for the 10 year special however!

  34. A.... D....

    I love this kind of music, it's not just another catchy tune, they actually tell a story.

    A.... D....

    Andrea De Paula it's just a story... a REAL story.

  35. C.... R....

    YES YES YES YES YESSSSS~! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE SINCE I SAW THEY WERE POSTING MORE OF THEIR MUSIC~!!!!!! OMGGGGGGGGG

    C.... R....

    +Ender Wolf From the Kubz Scouts Same. <3

  36. E.... ....

    My second favorite SPG song.

  37. S.... ....

    My favorite song about a man having sex with a plane. Truly an untapped market.

    S.... ....

    good lord don't temp the internet

    S.... ....

    a good song about one of the problems related to objectophilia, am I right? :P

    S.... ....

    why would he be surprised he did..it..with the plane? what if he was flying in the plane..and crashed..and lived but the plane was broken. wasnt hatchworth built from a stove or something..? why not a plane in to a robot. maybe he didnt know his plane..was a robot and fell in love with Bree?

  38. M.... G....

    is it just me or is this song base off a real person?

    M.... G....

    There's a good chance it takes inspiration from Amelia Earhart.

    M.... G....

    @Faye Haymond hmm that name sounds familiar

    M.... G....

    +MC. Gemstone She was a famous 1920s-1930s pilot who also paved the way for female aviators in general. One day her plane disappeared (with her and I believe her navigator on it) and we still don't know what happened.

    M.... G....

    @Faye Haymond ah okay thanks I think I remember her being on night at the museum

  39. J.... ....

    OK So let me get this straight.
    This song is about a guy unknowingly falling in love with a plane and having a child with-... Her? Yeah I'm gonna go with her.
    And then said child goes on to fall in love with a pilot and after he dies she starts hearing his voice.

    ...Is it just me or could this make for a pretty cute short story.
    I mean it's an AWESOME song, but I'm just saying it'd be a cute thing to read.

    J.... ....

    Sounds kinda like a childrens story about love and how it can affect us.
    Nontheless, awesome song that they need to play live!

    J.... ....

    Jay Plane Porn gone as right as possible.

    J.... ....

    @spiketraingirls

  40. E.... S....

    Mi favorite song from "the two-cents show" album <3 I love it!

  41. S.... R....

    Don't know why this band's music is not in any of the Fallout games XD

    S.... R....

    The SPG Radio mod in Fallout 4 is my favorite. This song is in it :)

    S.... R....

    Dallas Vakarian that's actually how I found out about this and clockwork vaudeville. I love that it's on Xbox too.

    S.... R....

    damn, some tracks would fit the aesthetic but unfortunately not the time period >.> maybe they could be their own station by some new current band. raiders make a base out of an old music studio, stop raiding, start jamming,

    S.... R....

    Weedle it's just how you wanna justify it in game.

    S.... R....

    welli find that important

  42. L.... F....

    Nni c e

  43. A.... S....

    A ballad about a plane cyborg?
    I love this band.

    A.... S....

    +Angel Samael (angel of death) I know right? I've heard this song like 10 times already, but I missed that first verse until I read it just now. I got that Lily was supposed to be half-airplane, but I thought it was like a metaphor. Then I saw that her mother was literally an airplane. Lol. Amazing.

  44. g.... ....

    one of the few songs that are actually steampunk

    g.... ....

    +Jiyeon I dont know about that.

    g.... ....

    Closer to dieselpunk.
