Im 68 years old and I can tell you that Underworld really have become one of my all time favourite bands. Have seen them 3 times and danced my little heart out at each concert
Year 2023. So much crazy sh*t is going on right now. I’ve heard this song so many times in so many years. And each of the listening moment is an inner and deep experience, inside my body, within my soul. There is one bird in my house.
No insult, no sex, no violence. Just hipnotyse, poesie, even the magnificent clip!!! Underworld know how to make dream us, let us think without seeming pompous. A big big fan since long time. Bravo et longue vie in french.
"And a moped started up It sounded like a chainsaw Of tiny firecrackers And he smelt time again A fly came in Along the shaft of sunlight Coming through the open door He watched it cross the room And get halfway then it Turned around and left, he laughed" Love that specific section - beautiful
The way the harmonics also change around "sounded like a chainsaw" always gets me, it's like the tune has been somewhat oppressive with it's single tone and chord in most of the tune, and then finally opens up and evolves just around there, it's really impactful.
I can´t belive I´ve never heard this master piece from Underworld. And I consider my self a real follower of their work. The sound, music production of underwolrd is always a blast. Like made to test hi quality sound equipment. They are so unique is always a trip to listen their music.
One of my top 10 favorite songs of all time. The beauty of it actually makes me tear up. By the way, there are at least a dozen Underworld tunes in my top 100, including Underneath the Radar from my teen years. Great music.
I'm friends with Darren. UTR is a cracker as is this but honestly Rez, Dirty Epic, 8ball, solar Sistine, a hundred days off, Jumbo dark n long, river of bass, their list of epic tracks is endless...
This is for everyone who says they don't make great music anymore...They do. Just listen to the Blacklist Sountrack. You will be happy to change your mind, and your tune.
absolutely awesome! I love this song & the album. I'm totally addicted to BARKING. It's just the best album 2010. looking forward to underworld's live performances in germany.
So reminiscent of Dark and Long, this track is the perfect opener to a fever dream of an album. I'm far too old now to indulge in psychoactives so this is the perfect alternative.
la belleza del concepto es increíble, la paciencia para lograr el ajuste al tempo y la edición lo hacen mejor aun, es poesía postmoderna, sigue la línea de los videos de los noventa en los que no necesariamente refleja lo que dice la letra de la canción, y conceptos que al menos te dejen más interrogantes en la cabeza y te hagan pensar que hay belleza en el mundo, efímera como estas flores, pero hay que saber disfrutarlas, y ya! INSTANT CLASSIC!
The video is an evocative and poetic metaphor. The voice is pure water into the throat, when you are very thirsty. NOT UW, only Karl Hyde (live perfomances?)
The flowers are Lilies if anyone is curious. They actually only have 3 petals (like most other monocots) While it looks like they have 6 petals the outside 3 are actually modified leaves (called bracts). Good quiz question..how many petals are on a lily? 3. If anyone tells you different, throw this at them.
Bat bit and ten (?) White stick with a red light Floats past her on the right White stick on the rock Roping in the wind Are you hungry? Do you know what to eat Floating in the blue I hear you your voice It comes out above my head Close to you, close to you There is one bird in my house She said you woke up from a dream He heard Mama Cass He felt better if I would have known (those) things It damped his mood for a second Then he remembered where he was He regained his perspective That felt a Lot better It gets much better He laid down on his bed With the front door open And the sunlight flooding into the room He smelt tire He laid back listening to a fly He saw washing hanging In the sun He caught a fleeting glimpse of a man moving uphill pursued by a bus He saw a white church with a Three blue-domed roof A crucifix on the top And an ant walked Along the edge of his book He heard another bell And a (braying mustache(?)) And a moped started up Sounding like a chainsaw of tiny firecrackers And he smelled tire again A fly came dim Along the shaft of sunlight Coming through the open door He watched it cross the room And get halfway and then it Turned around and left, he laughed There is one bird in my house
I’m so happy to see this official video clip has been played more than a million times now. I got to know this song around 10 years ago when I was still a junior high schooler in Japan. Back in that time my English ability was still very poor, however I immediately realised that I fell in love with this song, the tune and vibe of this song. After that, my English ability got better (at least, hopefully?) and I listened and read the lyrics of this song occasionally. Now I’m enjoying this lyrics full of metaphor as far as I can reach with my English ability and sensibility, so hopefully as a whole of this song. This song would never fade.

You LEGEND!!!
I saw them at Glastonbury in 99. I saw them at Brixton academy and at some place in Kentish town after the barking album
Mega mega,,,,,,,
You inspire me! Never ever stop Dancing! Unfolding Underworld’s complexity is a constant fascination!
63 and the same
To be honest, whoever it is from The Blacklist that has the responsibility of the music has so far done an unbelievable job.
Thats how I ended up here
you've that that so dang right
Check out junip really underrated. Also check out the xx not bad as well.
I couldn’t agree more
absolutely terrific taste in music
This has to be the most underrated track of all.
Come here yt algo, let it roll!
Year 2023. So much crazy sh*t is going on right now. I’ve heard this song so many times in so many years. And each of the listening moment is an inner and deep experience, inside my body, within my soul. There is one bird in my house.
Hypnotic, relaxing, yet stimulating. I felt somewhat relaxed while my feet tapped to the beat.
I am addicted to this song! It is the perfect mix. The layers are dreamy. I think I just spoozled!
Just ART. Lyrically. Sonically. Visually. I always find Underworld delivers.
absolutely brilliant !!!! video and audio in perfect sybiosis !!!! underworld are back !!!
No insult, no sex, no violence. Just hipnotyse, poesie, even the magnificent clip!!! Underworld know how to make dream us, let us think without seeming pompous. A big big fan since long time. Bravo et longue vie in french.
Best song I've heard in quite a while.
totally mesmerizing
I love, love, love the intense ambience of the lyrics to this. Underworld at their best.
"And a moped started up
It sounded like a chainsaw
Of tiny firecrackers
And he smelt time again
A fly came in
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door
He watched it cross the room
And get halfway then it
Turned around and left, he laughed"
Love that specific section - beautiful

Carl's lyrics and the oh so nice sounding king korg or A6

Me too. I've followed them for years, I'm 56 now and I haven't heard this track. Unmistakable Underworld.
One of my top 10 favorite songs of all time. The beauty of it actually makes me tear up. By the way, there are at least a dozen Underworld tunes in my top 100, including Underneath the Radar from my teen years. Great music.
That felt, alot better.
Their best song arguably? ‘Moped sounded like a chainsaw of tiny firecrackers and he smelled time again … ‘ I think that’s genius!
I'm friends with Darren. UTR is a cracker as is this but honestly Rez, Dirty Epic, 8ball, solar Sistine, a hundred days off, Jumbo dark n long, river of bass, their list of epic tracks is endless...
Underneath the Radar-great track. Would be interested in an updated look. 🤫
This is for everyone who says they don't make great music anymore...They do. Just listen to the Blacklist Sountrack. You will be happy to change your mind, and your tune.
Himanshu Gaur THIS!
absolutely awesome! I love this song & the album.
I'm totally addicted to BARKING. It's just the best album 2010. looking forward to underworld's live performances in germany.
what a great song!
This song and video is perfection.
So many feels and I don’t even understand them. 😂
amazing that underworld can still surprise and delight after so many years.
Amazing.
MAN! You guys bring me back to my early 20's...Hackers soundtrack...so many awesome tracks in the 90's! And THIS song is AWESOME!
Amazing how a tv show can connect people with some pretty awesome music. Thank you, The Blacklist.
So reminiscent of Dark and Long, this track is the perfect opener to a fever dream of an album. I'm far too old now to indulge in psychoactives so this is the perfect alternative.
I heard this track played live last Friday at the Underworld concert in Eindhoven. Magical.
LOVELY
Special, dark, dreamy, sexy... Perfect as always!

fantastic track from a really strong album, Underworld back to form we've not heard for a while. Hope to see them live performing this!
The video is an evocative and poetic metaphor. The voice is pure water into the throat, when you are very thirsty. NOT UW, only Karl Hyde (live perfomances?)

Seriously, amazing lyrics, ageless..
Great record. Completely addictive.
I love this Track...

Bat bit and ten (?)
White stick with a red light
Floats past her on the right
White stick on the rock
Roping in the wind
Are you hungry?
Do you know what to eat
Floating in the blue
I hear you your voice
It comes out above my head
Close to you, close to you
There is one bird in my house
She said you woke up from a dream
He heard Mama Cass
He felt better if I would
have known (those) things
It damped his mood for a second
Then he remembered where he was
He regained his perspective
That felt a
Lot better
It gets much better
He laid down on his bed
With the front door open
And the sunlight
flooding into the room
He smelt tire
He laid back listening to a fly
He saw washing hanging
In the sun
He caught a fleeting
glimpse of a man
moving uphill
pursued by a bus
He saw a white church with a
Three blue-domed roof
A crucifix on the top
And an ant walked
Along the edge of his book
He heard another bell
And a (braying mustache(?))
And a moped started up
Sounding like a chainsaw
of tiny firecrackers
And he smelled tire again
A fly came dim
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door
He watched it cross the room
And get halfway and then it
Turned around and left, he laughed
There is one bird in my house
Thank You!🎶🔥🎶

Lyrics:
Bat bit and ten
White stick with a red light
Floats past her on the right
White stick on the rock
Roping in the wind
Are you hungry?
Do you know what to eat?
Floating in the blue
I hear you, your voice
It comes out above my head
Close to you, close to you
There is one bird in my house
She said you woke up from a dream
He heard Mama Cass
He felt better if I would
Have known those things
It damped his mood for a second
Then he remembered where he was
He regained his perspective
That felt a lot better
It gets much better
He laid down on his bed
With the front door open
And the sunlight
Flooding into the room, he smelt tire
He laid back listening to a fly
He saw washing hanging in the sun
He caught a fleeting glimpse of a man
Moving uphill, pursued by a bus
He saw a white church with a
Three blue domed roof
A crucifix on the top
And an ant walked
Along the edge of his book
He heard another bell
And a braying mustache
And a moped started up
Sounding like a chainsaw
Of tiny firecrackers
And he smelled tire again
A fly came dim
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door
He watched it cross the room
And get halfway and then it
Turned around and left, he laughed
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
He saw washing hanging in the sun
He caught a fleeting glimpse of a man
Moving uphill, pursued by a bus
He saw a white church with a
Three blue domed roof
A crucifix on the top
And an ant walked
Along the edge of his book
He heard another bell
And a braying mustache
And a moped started up
Sounding like a chainsaw
Of tiny firecrackers
And he smelled tire again
A fly came dim
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door
He watched it cross the room
And get halfway and then it
Turned around and left, he laughed
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
HOT STUFF !!!
Underworld is the best techno band, are the best.
Captivating, mesmerizing, absolutely amazing. I could keep ranting such praises for very very long...
