There was a trend in the 90s (see also The Beautiful South and Space) of combining drippy musical settings with supposedly biting, misanthropic lyrics. I guess Costello was the godfather of all this. Anyway, the Baby Bird track is very much another example of the trend.
And most unwelcome it all was too because you tended to get the worst of both worlds: bland, treacly music being fronted by some sneering, too clever by half wanker.
So it's a nay then.
More or less agree, there were though a couple of much better songs on the parent album
