Seagull (Live in London) Flight of the Conchords

Tired of this place

I need to get away

It's time for me to go now

I can't stay, no, no, no, no

Just like any bird
I need to spread my wings

And fly across the ocean

See what the new day brings

'Cause I'm a seagull, yeah

In the first verse of this song

The singer, um, portrays
Himself as a free spirit

He does this by using the metaphor

Of a seagull
A creature untethered...
