The swallows and martins are a group of passerine birds in the family Hirundinidae which are characterised by their adaptation to aerial feeding. Swallow is used colloquially in Europe as a synonym for the Barn Swallow.
This family comprises two subfamilies: Pseudochelidoninae (the river martins of the genus Pseudochelidon) and Hirundininae (all other swallows and martins). Within the Hirundininae, the name "martin" tends to be used for the squarer-tailed species, and the name "swallow" for the more fork-tailed species; however, there is no scientific distinction between these two groups. The family contains around 83 species in 19 genera.
The swallows have a cosmopolitan distribution across the world and breed on all the continents except Antarctica. It is believed that this family originated in Africa as hole-nesters; Africa still has the greatest diversity of species. They also occur on a number of oceanic islands. A number of European and North American species are long-distance migrants; by contrast, the West and South African swallows are non-migratory. A few species of swallow and martin are threatened with extinction by human activities, although other species have benefited from human changes to the environment and live around humans.

Plot: Meet Gideon Swallow -- scientist, environmentalist, rock star. Young, British, and devastatingly handsome, he teaches Environmental Science at Pomona State University. His message -- of respecting the environment and saving the planet -- is wildly popular with his students, many of whom think he is a genius. Others think he is just trying to get laid. We will find out as the new schoolyear begins... Swallow has a new student in his class: Angie Horvath. She's a freshman, young and beautiful, slightly alienated from her peers, with daddy issues. She is drawn to Swallow like a moth to the flame. He seduces her - to the surprise of no one: Swallow makes a habit of these freshman conquests. But Angie is different. She's not as stable as she first appeared. Her love for Swallow becomes obsessive, and then pathological. In a misguided attempt at eco-terrorism, she chains herself to a tree in the middle of nowhere, sentencing herself to death. It is finally up to Swallow to find her, to save her, and show her the path to sanity and salvation (right after he has sex with her in the forest.)

I want to get there so quickly
But my body is not doing
What I thought (a knee) could do
(the pile) is getting slippery
Your illusion's getting early
And I feel a certain panic
Flowing through me... in waves
Won't you listen
Listen to me
Won't you listen
Can't you see
Let me in
I've come (for/from) mother
Let me in
