Lyrics: She wore feather earrings
And I hate birds
Yeah she, flipped her hair back

I bet her stairs are banisters
I bet her lawn is manicured
I bet her kids are blonde and beautiful

So what I’m only human
But I’m so jealous I can’t breathe

He shrugs his shoulders
And mine carry the world
He always sleeps well

Maybe it’s the chromosomes
The random Y that I don’t own
I want something that I can never have

CHORUS

Oh I am a monster
Behind my smile
Oh I ain’t so pretty
Sometimes

CHORUS x2

She wore feather earrings
And I hate birds

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
