The blue jay
Lyrics Me; Music - Suno

[Verse 1]
Laying in my yard on a summer's day
On the fence are blue jays at play
Look around, no clouds in the sky
When suddenly, one begins to fly
[Verse 2]
Quickly, he swoops from the sky
In horrific moment, takes my eye
He loudly shrieks, I assume is laughter
No idea, my eye is what he after
[Chorus]
Why, oh why did the blue jay take my eye
Popped it free, then took to the skies,
Now, the blue jay must die,
Singin’, now the blue jay, must die.
[Verse 3]
Without thought, I throw a rock at his head
He falls to the earth, assumed he was dead
He wasn't, and bolts for my other eye
I'm thinkin, this bird must be high
[Verse 4]
In a violent vortex of blues and blood-reds
Stupid bird kept coming for my head
Finally, I'm able to pin it to the ground
And held him there until he was without a sound
[Chorus]
Why, oh why did the blue jay take my eye
Popped it free, then took to the skies,
Now, the blue jay must die,
Singin’, now the blue jay must die.
[Outro]
Sittin' in my chair on a warms summer's day
Sippin' whisky and rye, with the blue jay
My new friend, newfound respect for each other
Once an enemy, now one, I consider my brother

Very nice and interesting song Bill, I imagine the whole things a metaphor for something, just can't figure what it is!
There's a contrast between the actions in the song and the upbeat female delivery of the music and vocals.
I come away thinking, this is a song about contradictions, both the lyrics and the music.
Really interesting this one.

@sidshovel - even the worse enemies can be friends. The contrasting music to bring out the lyrics. My attempt at normal lyrics0

I wouldn't say attempt Bill, go back and listen to "Charge of the Light Brigade" you wrote, brilliant.
It's in there, fightin' for you to let it out!
Cut free from the ties you bind yourself.

Thanks Sid. But These are fun.0

That's surreal. Light hearted melody, vivid color images drifting into horror. And a play on words with "take my eye".
I can't help but imagine you sitting with a wry grin wondering what people will make of these songs!

"Take my eye".... interchangeable with "caught my eye"?
The blue bird must be high???? lol.
I love the upbeat melody. You always have great melodies.
