This is based on a story Karl Pilkington told on the XFM radio show. From Pilkipedia: "Karl tries to convince Ricky and Steve that a man who had his head chopped off not only continued to live, but walked along a white line for 32 steps before dying." After Ricky says it's impossible, Karl replies, "What do you reckon you can do then without a head?"
Lyrics
I must confess
I'm perplexed
cos I walked 32 steps
without a head
Without a head ...
I crossed the white line
just in time
and then collapsed
and they all clapped:
the one-eyed jailer
the executioner
the judge with the
black cloth on his head
On his head ...
Now I'm dead, without a head
but as I always said,
"I can walk 32 steps
without a head"
Without a head ...
Comments
I like the harmonies here, and then the organ coming in to tie things up after the melodica has it's way. Instrumentation nice and clean. Your voice comes through, even the whispery parts, which keeps the attention.
The lyrics sound like somebody is talking but their surreal dream of last night!
Love the melodica which fits in very harmoniously!
Beautifully played Octolute plus the ice cream Farfisa make a gentle combination!
Enjoyed this very much!
