Skipping 01:54
Skipping Sun keeps shining--no clouds above me Please let this day pass me by April showers drown May flowers Please let me droop with the rest I was never meant to be I was not the one for you I skip along--no one knows I'm blue Dogs and children clamor all around me Please don't let them cheer me up Folks are singing--happy all around me Please make them all go away I was never meant to be I was not the one for you I skip along--no one knows I'm blue No one but you . . . No one . . . No one else but you . . No one else can tell I go skipping down by the seaside Please don't push me in, no, not yet The water's nice but still too cold I'll come back if I don't forget I was never meant to be I was not the one for you I skip along--no one knows I'm blue No one but you-ooh-hooo-hoo-hoo Hooo . . . a-hooo . . . A-hoo a-hoo a-hoo hooo-hoo words & music © 1996 KR Seward

Pretty much what was sung: We were driving, laughing all the way All the way to St. Tropez When we got there that was when we learned When we learned we got nothing to say You had all the vowels (oh-oh oh-oh) I had the consonants (mm-mm mm-mm) We had nothing put together . . . , no We went sailing, sailing in the bay We brought a tug in case of trouble It was such, such a lovely day Our hot tub full of Mister Bubble You had all the soap (oh-oh oh-oh) I had all the toys (mm-mm mm-mm) We had nothing put together . . My my-my my-eye-eye eye My my-my my-eye-eye-eye eye My my-my my-eye-eye eye Nothing put together, nothing put together . . . A midnight snack, a picnic just for two A starry night in a lonely meadow When we got there that was when we knew Even stars can cast a shadow I had all the chips (mm-mm mm-mm) You had all the dip (oh-oh oh-oh) We had nothing put together Bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye Bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye Bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye . . eye Bye-eye . . . bye-bye words & music © 1996 KR Seward

about

From the mid 1990s, a swath of tunes each sung by one unreliable narrator or another. That is, as narrators are all unreliable, to the extent of being sometimes reliable. Unreliably so.

about

KR Seward Somerset, Massachusetts

An aggregate of noises, voices & notions since 1982. A whole mess of tunes written. More recently eschewing classic song form, looking to raise a ruckus.
