My first vocals for anyone in 24 1/2 years. That's right folks, since May of 1999 at Seattle University.
So I will sound a little out of practice and secondly I set myself a hard task with the instrumental track being made first and the vocals later.
brackets are lyrics left on the cutting room floor.
One day the fool came walking by
And the king said 'let's have laughter'
[Then the fool said 'Well I'll make a jest'
'But let's just not kill me after']
(replaced with some da-da-da'ing)
He proceeded then to make his pitch
And the king besat there, all bewitched
But there came a point which had a flaw
And the fool knew he might lose it all
[So he turned to something he felt safe]
[And the king then seemed to forget the gaffe]
But the fool well knew his lucky break
And he quickly then made his escape
Being free to muse on the fickleness of rulers
As the day grew gaunt and grey
He thanked his stars (this line sounds indistinct in the recording)
That unlike his peers
He lived to jest another daymore
