Bluebird ~~ Anna Tivel
summer’s almost over, we made it to september
living off of tv, the twisted lives of others
trying to find the brightness, in a world of dying embers
walking late at night with all the junkies and dead flowers

the wind it bends the tall grass, a ghost, a breath, a feather
we’re terrified to ask and anyway there is no answer
in shadow or in pale light, the promise of another
day beyond the daylight, we’ll wait for it together

bluebird, we flew right off the edge
to a new world, but we haven’t found it yet

struggling to say it, the truth goes down like poison
thousands in the street, the asphalt echoing their voices
change is like a raging fire in the forest
taking something old and turning anger into gold dust

bluebird, we flew right off the edge
to a new world, but we haven’t landed yet

up above the buildings, the color of the city
glowing like a halo in the haze, the sun is sinking
don’t it look like heaven, the great beyond or something
at least we can imagine, it’ll bring a kind of comfort

bluebird, we flew right off the edge
to a new world, but we haven’t built it yet

...
Gilding the valley and the mountains
Pupil, iris, eyelid, retina
Ah! if this eye of water could filter
The sentinel of the world and my soul
.
And washed away the disgust and the mud
And the pagan echo reminded my ears
That the eye through which I see God
Is the same eye through which he sees me

-- #Maria-Bethânia, Olho D'Água

P.S.: My 'source' tells me he (she?) knows nothing about this #photo. But he has already disclosed that he's a photographer and I suspect he might well be the author.

Songs That Mention Themselves in the Lyrics

No, not songs with just the title in the lyrics, and not songs that mention their writers or singers. I'm looking for songs that refer to themselves as songs.

Here are two examples.
1. We'll Meet Again.

They'll be happy to know, that as you saw me go, I was singing this song.
2. Tennessee Waltz
I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz

Anyone else able to contribute any others?
