Super Furry Animals lyrics - Fuzzy Birds Fuzzy Birds

[Bunf has a hamster: Stavros. I had a dream in which Bunf wired up Stavros' wheel to a dynamo system producing electricity for his house. This is their story:]

[Bunf:]
Hamster, turning 'round in your wheel
I've got something to tell you
I can harness your feel
Dynamo for electricity
You empower my feelings
Give me light for me to see

[Stavros:]
So won't you give me some food?
I really need to get some energy in me
Give me some
I really need to get some energy in me
Give me some
The world is turning, kicking, screaming 'round my little head
To spread it on my bread
Don't you know that I spread it on my bread?

[Bunf:]
Rest yourself you've been long on your feet
If I buy you a matchbox
Will you keep it all neat?
Radiate, you're no flash in the pan
You're the battery incarnate
I'm an innocent man

[Stavros:]
So won't you give me some food?
I really need to get some energy in me
Give me some
I really need to get some energy in me
Give me some
The world is turning, kicking, screaming 'round my little head
To spread it on my bread
Don't you know that I spread it on my bread?

Quote (Gruff):
"Stavros came into Bunf's life and it was a very beautiful moment for all of us, because we all loved Stavros: Funky hamster! He had special tricks where he would slide up chairs. I had a dream that Bunf had wired up his wheel to make electricity for his house, so I wrote a song about it: Fuzzy Birds. But it dawned on me that it was also a song about the slave and the enslaver, and I think you can apply that to the worker and the employer, or the landlord and the tenant. It's a pop song about a psychedelic dream I had, but basically Stavros was shouting for more worker's rights."
