Underworld - Bird 1 Lyrics






Bat bit at ten
White stick with a red light
Floats past her on the right
White stick on the rock
Broken in the wind
Are you hungry?

Do you know what to eat
Floating in the blue
I hear you your voice
It comes out above my head
Close to you, close to you

There is one bird in my house
She said you woke up from a dream
He heard Mama Cass
He felt better, he found enormous things
It damped his mood for a second
Then he remembered where he was
He regained his perspective
And felt a
Lot better

It gets much better
He laid down on his bed
With the front door open
And the sunlight
flooding into the room
He smelled time
He laid back listening to a fly

He saw her washing hanging
In the sun
He caught a fleeting
glimpse of a man
moving uphill
pursued by a bus
He saw a white church with a
Three blue-domed roof
A crucifix on the top
And an ant walked
Along the edge of his book
He heard another bell
And a braying distortion
A moped started up
Sounded like a chainsaw
of tiny firecrackers
And he smelled time again
A fly came dim
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door
He watched it cross the room
And get halfway and then it
Turned around and left, he laughed

There is one bird in my house

    hmmm..... it had less zoom b4

  7. m.... d....

    Yes agree fully, this composition/song deserved far better vid than this; i'm seeing images of travelling thru New Mexico desert at night, fleeting white stripes flying by, shimmerings in the sky, stars against the mystery of an ocean of infinite black.

  8. M.... K....

    Regal brought me here :-)

  17. M.... ....

    Shame on you for bailing on your recent Australian tour 2 weeks out... That's shit... We've had no answers. Actually devastated. Ruined 8 months of build up and all I was looking forward too not to mention how infrequent your visits are... So what happened, do we blame you or the promoter

  18. K.... S....

    To love underworld is to be in 5-d so folks those 78 beings aren't resonating on our level is all 💕 🔥 🔥 🔥

    K.... S....

    Good shit, hah

  20. E.... E....

    "And a moped started up
    It sounded like a chainsaw
    Of tiny firecrackers
    And he smelt time again
    A fly came in
    Along the shaft of sunlight
    Coming through the open door
    He watched it cross the room
    And get halfway then it
    Turned around and left, he laughed"

    Love that specific section - beautiful

    E.... E....

    The way the harmonics also change around "sounded like a chainsaw" always gets me, it's like the tune has been somewhat oppressive with it's single tone and chord in most of the tune, and then finally opens up and evolves just around there, it's really impactful.

  21. C.... R....

    Woah! Peace Christo 👽

  22. O.... G....

    Just ART. Lyrically. Sonically. Visually. I always find Underworld delivers.

  23. W.... C....

    Underworld forever!

  24. D.... ....

    Nejlepsi music! Jupííí.

  25. T.... W....

    These guys deserve more pay. 😊

  26. Z.... C....

    NICE ....

  27. k.... d....

    their like the pink floyd of the future.🙂

  28. S.... ....

    If you like this you should check out The Chemical Brothers

  29. r.... ....

    The video is fantastic, just like the song, but some people apparently don't get it

  30. E.... P....

    Catchy song

  31. M.... L....

    This song gives me Deja Vu
    every time i hear it...
    I see flashbacks of my childhood..
    I guess i indirectly heard it and it is still stuck in my subconscious mind

  32. K.... M....

    He lay back, listening to fly

  33. F.... B....

    I Can play This song

  34. J.... L....

    beautifull!

  35. C.... M....

    #nationalbirdday

    Beautiful

  39. J.... F....

    MAN! You guys bring me back to my early 20's...Hackers soundtrack...so many awesome tracks in the 90's! And THIS song is AWESOME!

  40. B.... M....

    Underworld brought me here.

    B.... M....

    brilliant .

  41. H.... G....

    This is for everyone who says they don't make great music anymore...They do. Just listen to the Blacklist Sountrack. You will be happy to change your mind, and your tune.

    H.... G....

    Himanshu Gaur THIS!

  42. h.... ....

    I am calling out the thumbs downers....WHY??? What is NOT to like about this video?? What is WRONG WITH YOU??

  43. H.... ....

    Seriously, amazing lyrics, ageless..

  44. A.... G....

    beautiful lilies beautiful song

  45. O.... S....

    Okay. This song is clearly string of conscious. And I think it's great. But if I were the director, what I would have done is probably do slow motion magnifications of these things that Karl is singing. Since Karl has synesthesia I would make all these descriptions visual with ripples and the like.

    O.... S....

    Thats actually the idea, everyone including you visualises the song from the lyrics and your own perspective,, the director doesn't need to do anything. everyone gets a different picture ,yet we listen to the same thing..and they are great lyrics to boot...

  46. J.... C....

    ..called Big LEE WATSON*

  47. L.... D....

    It´s wonderfull!

  48. B.... R....

    itak najboljši...

  49. K.... K....

    Damn... So good. This song came on while I was editing a picture of a waterfall which clearly has a grim reaper like spirit holding another spirit which appears to be a woman. For the hell of it, I looked up deaths at this waterfall...turns out a lady fell to her death there. Its a crazy looking picture lol

  50. R.... ....

    Hey, guys my remix.

    D.... M....

    Patrice Baumel's remix is better

  52. j.... ....

  53. L.... ....

    there a different version that is much better, Bird1 KCRW2011

  54. L.... ....

    Love this song one of their best tune, so great

  55. J.... F....

    Best song I've heard in quite a while.

  56. t.... t....

    very very nice

  57. J.... P....

    Hypnotic, relaxing, yet stimulating. I felt somewhat relaxed while my feet tapped to the beat.

  58. a.... h....

    On repeat.

  59. O.... M....

    "The Blacklist" brought me here .. <3

  60. D.... M....

    Great song, shite video!

    Bat bit and ten
    White stick with a red light
    Floats past her on the right
    White stick on the rock
    Roping in the wind
    Are you hungry?

    Do you know what to eat?
    Floating in the blue
    I hear you, your voice
    It comes out above my head
    Close to you, close to you

    There is one bird in my house
    She said you woke up from a dream
    He heard Mama Cass
    He felt better if I would
    Have known those things

    It damped his mood for a second
    Then he remembered where he was
    He regained his perspective
    That felt a lot better

    It gets much better
    He laid down on his bed
    With the front door open
    And the sunlight
    Flooding into the room, he smelt tire
    He laid back listening to a fly

    He saw washing hanging in the sun
    He caught a fleeting glimpse of a man
    Moving uphill, pursued by a bus
    He saw a white church with a
    Three blue domed roof

    A crucifix on the top
    And an ant walked
    Along the edge of his book
    He heard another bell
    And a braying mustache
    And a moped started up

    Sounding like a chainsaw
    Of tiny firecrackers
    And he smelled tire again
    A fly came dim
    Along the shaft of sunlight
    Coming through the open door

    He watched it cross the room
    And get halfway and then it
    Turned around and left, he laughed

    There is one bird in my house
    There is one bird in my house
    There is one bird in my house
    There is one bird in my house

    He saw washing hanging in the sun
    He caught a fleeting glimpse of a man
    Moving uphill, pursued by a bus
    He saw a white church with a
    Three blue domed roof

    A crucifix on the top
    And an ant walked
    Along the edge of his book
    He heard another bell
    And a braying mustache
    And a moped started up

    Sounding like a chainsaw

    There is one bird in my house
    There is one bird in my house
    There is one bird in my house
    There is one bird in my house

    There is one bird in my house
    There is one bird in my house
    There is one bird in my house
    There is one bird in my house

    J.... L....

    there is always one person that feels compelled to post the lyrics.

    J.... L....

    I ve did it for myself. Whenever i listen i can read the lyrics. Why do you have a problem with that?

    J.... L....

    i learned the lyrics so i can enjoy the song without annoying others.

    J.... L....

    You make your private videos so you can enjoy all alone! :) when we meet you ll have to tell me those lyrics! You should better know them perfectly! Have a good life, bye

  71. 1.... ....

    Stimulating... invigorating... I feel like climbing mountains after this song :)

  72. h.... d....

    very atmospheric tune oppresive but happy at sme time  very very nice

  73. L.... ....

    does anybody know similiar songs like this or what type of genre is that ??

    L.... ....

    Haha! Great question. Been thinking about this for a while. I think the answer is, no. This song is unique. It is its own genre. If pushed, I'd go with Soulful Crack House. But given that I've just made that up - and have no real idea what it means - really, it's anyone's guess.

    L.... ....

    haha thanks for answer ,you´ve completly right that this song is unique 

  74. S.... L....

    To be honest, whoever it is from The Blacklist that has the responsibility of the music has so far done an unbelievable job.

    S.... L....

    Thats how I ended up here

    S.... L....

    you've that that so dang right

    S.... L....

    Check out junip really underrated. Also check out the xx not bad as well.

    S.... L....

    I couldn’t agree more

  75. C.... S....

    Another classic number from Underworld. What am I missing about their videos though? Flowers opening in slow motion? Maybe a humming Bird would have helped the video. I found Always Loved A Film a poor video too. Need a new Video producer.

  76. R.... K....

    There is one bird in my house

  77. H.... ....

    The Blacklist brought me here.
    Great song

  78. p.... ....

    THIS is the official video?
    How unoriginal...
    Better to just listen to the song, and not watch it.

  79. M.... ....

    Me too Shazam'd it

  80. M.... M....

    F'ing A!

  81. J.... J....

    blacklist also brought me here, however lyrics are not the same,

  82. A.... B....

    thanks to Blacklist !!!!

  83. F.... ....

    Massive Attack...

  84. d.... ....

    Gus Gus and Thom Yorke/Atoms for Peace don't really sound like Underworld but some of their music has the same sort of vibe as this song. And I would say check out lots more Underworld because they have a lot more songs in this vein.

  85. H.... N....

    Amazing how a tv show can connect people with some pretty awesome music. Thank you, The Blacklist.

  86. R.... N....

    shazam! BLACKLIST.

    R.... N....

    I did that and found a couple songs so far that i love from that show!

  87. P.... L....

    me too!

  88. s.... j....

    what are some more bands/artists with songs like this? i love it

  89. F.... ....

    best track for intro !

  90. L.... D....

    waaa porque no hay un botón de "me encanta"

  91. C.... W....

    ich kann meine füße ned stillhalten :-)

  92. E.... ....

    No worries! I probably could've made more sense of it if I tried . . .

    Guess the guy was trying to say he found the song resonant.

  93. D.... ....

    SORRY, MAN! MY COMMENT WAS A BIT CRITICAL. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS TRANSLATED.

  94. E.... ....

    Yeah . . . I had absolutely nothing to do with the original post, I merely posted a translation, in case people were interested!

    It may have made more sense in the original Japanese . . .
