"Bet I can make you better
'Cause you make me better"
Intro[]
Birds of a Feather is an unreleased track recorded in the mid noughties. It was Track 15 for the album Sirens, which Lana recorded under the name May Jailer, an early alter ego of hers.
The track was written by Grant herself, and is 2 minutes 42 seconds long. Although the whole album is referred to as alternative folk/indie, this song sounds quite different because of the auto tune it has been run through.
The song has a happy theme, and seems to be a celebration of a relationship.
Lyrics[]
Met you in front of the diner and you had blue hair
You were so nice
You were from L.A. but you were all there
You were all right
So many people say that they have it together
But I think you're a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather
Met you in front of a diner and you were so sweet
Made my heart beat, oh, my, my, my, my, my
I met you with your mother and she had green shoes
She was so cool, it was fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
So many people say that they have it together
But I think you're a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather
Oh, feather, oh, birds
You were sorting pictures and you gave me one
Of a nun who was playing the drums
She was crazy, her name was Katie
I think you're so fun
So many people say that they have it together
But I think you're a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather
You don't think I'm that strange, you're so weird
That's 'cause you're so queer
But who's not these days?
You wear purple socks and you still like Purple Haze
So many people think that you have it together
But they don't see you crying in the shower
Bet I can make you better
'Cause you make me better
Yeah, you make me better
Yeah, you make me better
