And Your Bird Can Sing Lyrics



Lennon/McCartney


You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me, you don't get me

You say you've seen seven wonders and your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me

When your prized possessions start to wear you down
Look in my direction, I'll be round, I'll be round

When your bird is broken will it bring you down
You may be awoken, I'll be round, I'll be round

You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swim
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

Anomalies

Whole Song * NEW *
John's tambourine playing is very on-off beat,as if he couldn't decide what he wanted to do with it ...
0:02
John/Paul takes deep breath under the cover of the intro. (Right ear)
1:56
Faint guitar notes in with bass line, during and after fade out
The signature dual-harmony electric lead guitar parts were played live (without overdubbing) by Harrison and McCartney. Lennon played the rhythm in the "D major" position with the capo on the 2nd fret (to account for the song being in the key of E). John used the 2nd fret capo several times ("Nowhere Man", "Julia", "Norwegian Wood", to name a few). (thanks, Barry Kesten - Bellmore, United States)
John Lennon considered this one of his worst songs. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)
