Story Song - "Birds" by Kate Nash

Song Title:  Birds
Song Artist:  Kate NashLink to lyrics

Plot:
A guy and a girl struggle to get on a train, they finally manage, she's worried about impressing him and he goes to all this length to tell her how he feels about her but she doesn't understand so he has to try over and over again and doesn't get the response he wants in the end.

Characters:
Girl
Boy
Ticket inspector
"Birds"

Conflict:
The girl was waiting at the train station for this boy.  He finally gets off but he doesn't have a ticket so he has to "bum through the barriers again".  He finally manages to get through and they board a bus together.  The real conflict of this song is what is next.  He has really strong feelings about her and he decides to tell her how he is feeling.  This guy is too scared to tell her how much he likes her explicitly so he puts it into the form of a metaphor with birds.  She doesn't understand it at all. So he has to try again and again.

Theme:
Not expressing yourself clearly could be detrimental.
Understanding

Setting:
Train Station
On the bus

.Grand Theft Poetry.

Memory Slip
I cry.

Feeling so overwhelmed.

The story of the mad.

Thought I would forget.

It's a singing sin

with an unequal temper.

Begging to be set free.

No.

You have forgotten.

Your dreams have faded.

Can not bear bondage.

Nothing else is.

The final pain, drove him blank.

You held his death in your lap.

I will never forget.
