Lisa Hannigan when asked if Little Bird is about the ending of her relationship with Damien Rice:

After a pause, she replies, “Well, yes it is, but I don’t know if that illuminates anything about it. It’s a snapshot in time as well. The trouble with songs when they’re about something, is that they’re about something at that time, and people take it as gospel that that’s how you think forever, ad infinitum, which is not necessarily the case. But that one when I wrote it, it was really hard for me to write and really hard for me to sing for a long time, but I think it was important for me to write it. I think I needed to.

Sit down, and fire away - I always trick you when you’re feeling low

 When you feel like your flavor has gone the way of a pre-shelled pistachio

 I know you’re way down, you’re fed up with your heavy

 Your boots are laced with melancholy, and oceans all your own

 I do like sugar, tender on the brittle, and sticky when spun

 And i know my demeanor can go the way

 Of a furrow left out in the sun

 And i try to keep myself in lilies, and flax seeds

 Oh what a folly, you’re fooling just yourself

 Sit down and smoke away, i wouldn’t knock it til your in them shoes

 Watch as our subtlety blows away as a blush it gives way to a bruise

 See me, we freely make a trade-off,

 A  dry rot to take the weight off, swapping boots for red shoes
