Need Help Knowing a Song

I heard a tune on the radio the other day, but I never heard the DJ say who it was.
The only lyrics I caught were... something something... "sing just like a songbird."
I knew a Google search might not yield anything, with generic lyrics like that, but the song can't be terribly obscure; they played it on WKMS.
And it had something to it I liked.
Got any guesses?
It was an electric outfit, and I think they had a piano too.

It's funny how the brain
It's funny how the brain works, those lyrics made me think of this song...
Played by the Wildwood Boys at the Tangent in Palo Alto on February 23rd 1963
Come all you fair and tender maidens,
Take warning how you court your man,
They're like a fog on a Summer's morning,
First appear and then they're gone.
I wished I was a little sparrow,
And I had wings to fly so high,
And my true love, (oh false true lover?),
(And when you die, I won't deny?)
Come all you fair and tender maidens,
Take warning how you court your man,
They're like a fog on a Summer's morning,
First appear and then they're gone.
They tell to you such lovely stories,
They'll make you think that they love you well,
And then they are gone to court another,
And leave you there in grief to dwell.
Come all you fair and tender maidens,
Take warning how you court your man,
They're like a fog on a Summer's morning,
First appear and then they're gone,
First appear and then they're gone.

Late 70s song I can't find sings about the albatross is my brother, something that. Anyone know it? Maybe it was Bread, or so.

No shit. I've wondered about
No shit. I've wondered about that a few times through the years. The melody and bit of lyric always somewhere too far back to reach, always drifting away.
Shows you how many times I've gone back to the little river band. I was young: six in seventy-eight, or so. Or was it later? Decades and decades now. Weird. Smark and Hoover was almost born.
Thanks, China.

It looks like the Zone needs
It looks like the Zone needs a bigger challenge.
Driving home, the day after the 2009 Kimock/Crazy Engine show at the Exit/In in Nashville, I heard a bad-ass song on Vanderbilt radio.
It had, like, a fiddle in there somewhere and a lady singing in (according to my best guess) an Eastern Indian sound/style.
And it had some dudes chanting/singing (again, my best guess) a sound/style that, because of the phonetic tendencies, made me think Ugandan.
I never managed to track down that song.
I never forgot it neither.
