More songs with birds, feathers:
---------------------------------
Inca Queen (to the smallest bird)
Shots (faster than a bird)
Crying eyes (free bird)
Expecting to fly (feathers)
Uh, War of Man has also got black falcons, along with the sparrows.
Maybe Neil got an obsession. And if you include to this list all the songs
that refer to "flying" in some (birdish) way or other, the amount is even
bigger-!
