For the birds
You have itty-bitty dippy birds.We like them too. But then we have griffon-vultures, who also like itty-bitty birds, but only when they're defunct . . . post-flying . . . no longer aeronautically viable, ex-parrots . . .
Would someone out there explain all this? It says it's by The Fall:
Das Vulture Ans Das Nutter-Wain
Das Vulture Ans Das Nutter-Wain
La la la la la la
Das Vulture Ans Das Nutter Ein Wain
Vulture Ans Das Nutter-Wain
Vulture
Ans Das Nutter Ein Wain
Jester
Jester
Parson's prayer
So few and far between
Down and out
Carry on clown
Paint your face
And close your mouth
Vulture
Ein das Nutter
La la la la la la
Vulture
Das Vulture Ans Das Ans
Ein Nutter Wain
Vulture Ans Ein Nutter-Wain
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Carry on clown
Ans Vulture Ans Ein Nutter-Wain

@ bp - those are some mean vultures up there! They remind me of that 1970s t-shirt/poster that was always advertised in NME where there are two vultures sitting in a tree and one says to the other: 'Patience my ass - I'm gonna kill something!'
I've never seen a vulture in the wild - I kept a look out for them when I was down in the Pyrennees in the summer but didn't see anything. Having seen eagles and buzzards in Scotland I can imagine that a real live vulture circling above you must be some kind of sight!
There's a Liverpool legend that when the Liver birds leave the Liver building something blah blah blah will happen.
Wonder what will happen if/when the vultures leave London?
The 'German' appears to be nonsense by the way ...
