about

Another twisted nursery rhyme idea. Set in a not-so-far distant possible future when the ice caps have diminished and the water levels have risen dramatically, the little chap singing this song is luckier than most. A favourite of mine, this one – I like the naive innocence of the child, his enormous revelations, the rhymes within rhymes. And I’d like a glass of water please...

lyrics

I’ve got a little cloud and I pull it around
With a piece of rope that my cousin found
And I’m very proud I’m allowed my own little cloud

When it gets hot I tug my cloud
Til some rain comes pouring down
The searing heat don’t bother me at all

Since the ice caps got so small
Things are tough
Since the ice caps got so small
Some people get so moody

I guess I’m lucky my dad is king
He can do about anything
That is how come I’ve got my own cloud

Bodyguards to guard my cloud
Taking my cloud is not allowed
Some folks tried and some folks all got shot at

Since the ice caps got so small
Things are strange
Since the ice caps got so small
People acting very strange

A lot of the folks on Earth are dead
The water went right over their heads
They should have learned to swim
Instead of moaning

They’ve only themselves to blame
Silly men
Bet they do it all again
Because they’re very dim

I’ve got a little cloud and I pull it around
With a piece of rope that my cousin found
I’m very proud I’ve got my own little cloud

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
