The strange and, at times, baffling lyrics to this song were devised when John Linnell listened to a reversed recording of the band’s then unreleased song Thunderbird, and decided to try and translate the backwards vocals into actual words. On Earth my Nina is thus not actually the song Thunderbird...
Her burden of things walking out
Her burden of things walking out
On Earth my Nina
On Earth my Nina
God forbid a vaguer feat
National hell mock me
Say the sparrow wants a morbid arrow
Here's a quarter; that's the one I want
Maybe I'll buy the whirlwind
That always keeps me yearning
Her sitter's down there mourning
Her burden of things walking out
Her burden of things walking out
On Earth my Nina
On Earth my Nina
