Lyrics

I've got a feeder for you to perch on

This was dedicated to the mother of Eels' mainman Mark Everett, who died from lung cancer in 1998. Everett explained to the Sun newspaper January 10, 2008 why this song is "tinged with sadness": "Well, s–t happens. Life is happy and sad and all the shades of grey in between. I just try to reflect all that stuff as best I can. My mother was an avid birdwatcher. She had a lot of bird books and feeders that I brought with me from her house. I set up the feeders in my yard and I read the books. 'I Like Birds' was a way of staying connected to her." View wiki
