On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
Sang willow, tit-willow, tit-willow.
And I said to him, "Dicky bird, why do you sit
Singing willow, tit-willow, tit-willow?"

From the Mikado (Gilbert and Sullivan)

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near
Just like me, they want to be
Close to you

The Carpenters

She's only a bird in a gilded cage,
A beautiful sight to see.
You may think she's happy and free from care,
She's not, though she seems to be.
'Tis sad when you think of her wasted life
For youth cannot mate with age;
And her beauty was sold
for an old man's gold,
She's a bird in a gilded cage.

(Harry Van Tilzer, 1904)

Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free

Bird on a Wire
Leonard Cohen

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?

(Arlen/Harburg)

Rockin' Robin,
Rock, Rock, Rock
Rockin' Robin,
Rock, Rock, Rock
All the little birdies mumble, mumble, gonna rock tonight

Birdwatcher, hi-tech guy,
Looks just like a nasty spy.

"And I know that she'll be far away before the wild geese fly.

Blew a kiss from the window seat, watch her sail into that sky.."
