Some light relief courtesy of a heavy bird. Don't drink and fly, kids.
lyrics
Kereru crash-landing in the monkey apple tree
Kereru crash-landing in the monkey apple tree
Off its tiny face on guava that was in the sun too long
Kereru crash-landing in the monkey apple tree
Kereru making artwork with its body as the brush
Kereru making artwork with its body as the brush
Turn the window of my living room into a Turin shroud
Kereru making artwork with its body as the brush
Kereru day-drinking til its flying like a stone
Kereru day-drinking til its flying like a stone
Plating up itself for predators beneath the Puriri
Kereru day-drinking til its flying like a stone
Kereru by the armful at the sanctuary door
Kereru by the armful at the sanctuary door
All the neighbourhood arriving with a hundred birds or more
Kereru by the armful at the sanctuary door
Kereru sleep it off in the common Lilly-Pilly
Kereru sleep it off in the common Lilly-Pilly
Maybe next time your imbibing won't be quite so willy-nilly
Kereru sleep it off in the common Lilly-Pilly
