Play along at home with the lyrics:

[Verse 1] You're beautiful, that's for sure You'll never ever fade You're lovely, but it's not for sure That I won't ever change [Pre-Chorus] And though my love is rare Though my love is true [Chorus] I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away I don't know where my soul is (Soul is) I don't know where my home is And baby, all I need for you to know is I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away I don't know where my soul is (Soul is) I don't know where my home is All I need for you to know is [Verse 2] Your faith in me brings me to tears (Oh) Even after all these years, years And it pains me so much to tell That you don't know me that well [Pre-Chorus] And though my love is rare Though my love is true [Chorus repeat] [Bridge] It's not that I wanna say goodbye It's just that every time you try To tell me, me that you love me (Oh-oh) Each and every single day I know I'm gonna have to eventually Give you away [Break] And though my love is rare, rare, rare And though my love is true, yeah Hey, I'm just scared That we may fall through Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus repeat, like 4 times] [Outro] I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away I don't know where my soul is (Soul is) I don't know where my home is And baby, all I need for you to know is I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away I don't know where my soul is (Soul is) I don't know where my home is

Jump to section:

(00:12) Very short introduction with bad joke and a bit of waffling but nowhere near the amount you get on some podcasts. You know the ones.

(01:37) Song title, writers' details, stupid conversation about how to speak an awkward date format, leading to more conversation about 'The Rapture' and end of the world.

(03:27) Vampires ahoy! To the lyrics! A checklist of vampirism. Possibility of being a superhero or being raptured

(11:55) The undead, forest spirits, Spiderman. The impact of evolution or natural selection on moths and Nelly Furtado's beetle

(14:12) The music video

(16:14) The theory of tattoo regret.

(25:56) How can we be sure Nelly ISN'T a bird?

(30:40) Nelly Furtado's poor classification of species

(33:59) Casual break-up and sad, incel takes

(37:17) You can't face 'The Sound of Music'

(40:33) Where is your soul?

(42:53) Other theories from the internet, including incels

(49:07) Notable trivia and build your own parody song

(51:49) Misheard lyrics from the internet

(55:01) Farewells
