TOTW #29: Fauna (Animals, birds and all else!)

Hello, Music lovers!

Another Sunday, and welcome to yet another music themed thread!

This week's theme is Fauna.

Yep, meaning all the animals, birds, aquatic life, insects, reptiles ... all those exquisite, extraordinary, unique & diverse forms of life (other than humans) on God's Green Earth.

And there are so many of them mentioned in songs!

You can post songs that

- have animals/ birds singing (animated or not)

- mention them in the lyrics (please post the part of the lyrics that does mention them if it's not part of the title)

- feature them in the song in any manner

I'll start with the first few and hope many of you join in and celebrate these wonderful creatures!

As always.. any language, any genre, any era is welcome!

Pigeon and Seagull

Single Pigeon - Paul McCartney & Wings

Single pigeon through the railing

Did she throw you out

Sunday morning fight about Saturday night

Single seagull gliding over Regent's Park canal

Do you need a pal for a minute or two

You do

Me too, me too, me too

I'm a lot like you

Me too, me too, me too

I'm a lot like you

Did she turf you out in the cold morning rain again?

Blackbird

Blackbird - The Beatles (White Album)

Songwriters: Lennon/ McCartney

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night

Lion/ Cow

I am the Lion - Neil Diamond

There was a flood and many poor men were killed.

And that is why our house is built on the top of a hill.

The plains are like a friend, why can't we live on them?

And if a flood should come, why can't we run?

I am the lion, bellowing out in the night.

We had a cow, I left it alone to graze.

And walked to the stream and when I returned, it was stolen away.

But now the cow is gone and we don't need a farm.

We have not one thing they

Would steal away.

I am the lion bellowing out at the night.

I am the lion bellowing out at the night.

I am... the lion.
