Can anyone explain the lyrics of Flightless Bird American Mouth by Iron and Wine?


I'm not too sure what the song lyrics mean to me… But at the bottom of this link there is someone else's interpretation of the song's lyrics. Could mean multiple things to different people ya dig?

Best way to ship wine from California to Ireland…?

I want to thank my Irish family by sending some Napa wine to them. What is the best way to go about doing so? I have checked all of the wine importer websites in Ireland and they only import shitty wine, or stuff that is out of my price range (which is $30 per bottle, shipping not included). Help!

I would call a few wineries in Napa and see if they can ship it directly. Or, talk with someone at a local wine shop to see if they can ship to Ireland.

There are tons of laws with shipping wines, so you'll probably have to use a licensed shipping agent. It's going to be very very expensive. I'd guess at least $100 a case, maybe closer to $200.

flightless bird - iron & wine lyrics

I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
And when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill looming

Now Im a fat house cat
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill, stuck going down

The Happy Hour Guys at Palmina Winery!

The Happy Hour Guys take their first official trip to Southern California! After landing in LA and spending some time snooping around Historic Bars in the City of Angels (teaser for next week’s episode), Jimmy and the Happy Hour Babe, Lisa Datz, made their way to Santa Barbara County and the Santa Ynez Valley; there, in a small town named Lompoc and nestled unobtrusively in an industrial park, is a place they’d heard whispers about, Palmina Winery.

Winemaker Steve Clifton started Palmina in 1995, becoming one of the first artisans in the Santa Ynez Valley to introduce solely Italian varietal wines to the Southern California soil, and subsequently, the Southern Californian palate. Turns out that the Santa Barbara County climate matches that of the Northern Italian wine regions, and Steve saw an opportunity to recreate these traditional wines in a no-holds-barred, California way, while still holding to the Italian ideal of wines being an extension of the plate, something enjoyed with food and friends.

And did he deliver! These wines are spectacular. Join us as Jimmy makes his way through an Italian pronunciation clinic, Lisa doesn’t want to leave the Wine Library (too much studying to do), and we try some incredible wines with names we’d never heard before.

Remember, at The Happy Hour Guys, were always in search of something new, and are never afraid to try it. Join us!

Cheers!
