The Bird You Can’t See- The Apples In Stereo
Let me tell you ‘bout the end of the beginning
Or of the end depending where you land.
You came on the scene just as the party’s ending
I’ll start again and then you’ll understand.
It’s like the bird
That you can’t see
But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.
It’s like the word
That you can’t say
But you can sing the pretty music anyway.
Now I know there are some things that you need to discover
Turn off your mind and do yourself a favour
(like the bird,
you can’t see,
it’s a part of you, woo
and it’s a part of me)
Girl, I can see behind your eyes your mind is spinnin’
Cause if your eyes can make the skies come clear
So you came in at the bottom of the inning
And no one knows ( if whether ) you’re from here
It’s like the bird
That you can’t see
But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.
It’s like the word
That you can’t say
But you can sing the pretty music anyway.
Now I know there are some things (that) require concentration
Turn off your mind and use your ‘magination.
(girl you know what I’m talking about)
Come down and plant your feet into the ground.
Feel free; plant your mind in mystery.
So you want to know the meaning of my song?
I’ll tell you now: it’s all about how you feel.
Baby, I don’t know or care where you are from,
Just so I know that where you go is real.
It’s like the bird
That you can’t see
But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.
It’s like the word
That you can’t say
But you can sing the pretty music anyway.
Now I know there are some things that you need to explain (girl)
Turn off your mind; you’re using up your brain. (c’mon)
(like the bird,
you can’t see,
it’s a part of you, woo
and it’s a part of me)

- Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.
- Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
- Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
- Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
- Eat a live toad in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day.
- If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
- If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
- It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
- Never buy a car you can’t push.
- Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you don’t have a leg to stand on.
- Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
- The early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late.
- The Second mouse gets the cheese
- When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
- Birthdays are good for you, the more you have, the longer you live.
- You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
- Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
- Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
- We could learn a lot from crayons, some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box.
- A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
- Happiness comes through doors you didn’t even know you left open.
