Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire's Thrills

I just listened to Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire's Thrills, and - like I did back in March and in August - I found some lyrics that Andrew Bird later re-used.

The line "two sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis" (or at least I think those are the words) in "Eugene" also appears as "sure fatal doses, malcontent through osmosis" near the end of "Imitosis" on Armchair Apocrypha.

"Cock O' the Walk" contains the line "took the 4:50 Addison to see Pulaski at night," and I Want to See Pulaski at Night was the title of Bird's EP from 2013.

Additionally, "a dog with a nasal disease" from "Nuthinduan Waltz" seems to be a precedent for "a wolf with a lung disease" from "Natural Disaster" on Noble Beast.

Andrew Bird's "Lazy Projector"

I listened to Andrew Bird’s Break It Yourself this morning, and in “Lazy Projector,” I noticed a reference to his earlier work.

In “Lazy Projector,” he says, “history repeats itself / and time is a crooked bow.”  ”Time is a crooked bow” is also a line that appears in “Armchairs” from Armchair Apocrypha.  Judging by “history repeats itself,” this was a conscious self-reference.

Some of the melody of the later part of “Lazy Projector” sounds like it’s echoing his earlier work too, but I can’t quite place it, so I don’t know if it actually is similar to an earlier melody or whether it’s just so quintessentially Andrew Bird-sounding.
