"Bird Mad Girl" comes from The Top, the fifth Cure album, which Fiction released in May 1984, and it's one of only three songs on it that Robert Smith co-wrote with Lol Tolhurst; "The Caterpillar" and "Piggy in the Mirror" are the others. Smith wrote the words alone and produced it with David M. Allen and Chris Parry.
He made it while spread thin. After cutting the Glove's psychedelic Blue Sunshine in the summer of 1983, Smith spent the rest of that year working on The Top and Siouxsie and the Banshees' Hyæna side by side, still officially the Banshees' guitarist. Back in the Cure, co-founder Tolhurst had traded his drums for keyboards, and Andy Anderson, the drummer on "The Lovecats", had taken over the kit.
