			==Live Performances==

			*November 3rd, 2007 (Youmacon 2007). Neil and The Spoony Bards performed a cover of Birdhouse In Your Soul with Dave Kitsberg on vocals and guitar, and Neil as the keyboardist. This cover is distinctly different from the Lemon Demon rendition and is clearly it's own stand alone cover of the original TMBG song.<ref>https://youtu.be/t_0V8jMTzsY?si=h33ugJHfJA6BQyUB&t=1594</ref>

'''Birdhouse In Your Soul''' is the fifteenth track on [[Live From The Haunted Candle Shop]]. Birdhouse In Your Soul is a cover of a popular song by the band They Might Be Giants.
==Lyrics==
I’m your only friend
I’m not your only friend
But I’m a little glowing friend
But really I’m not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It’s a simple message and I’m leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e
My story’s infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn’t rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I’m your only friend
I’m not your only friend
But I’m a little glowing friend
But really I’m not actually your friend
But I am

There’s a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I’d be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts

Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels it’s always near
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(And while you’re at it
Keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you’re at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your
Make a little birdhouse in your
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
