Threw this thing together from a bunch of home studio clips and added a few amateur attempts at stop motion animation. Just a lil bit o' fun. Enjoy! **************************************** LYRICS: Return of the Ellington, not a name we’ve heard for years Mother’s embellishments made me blush from ear to ear When I was young the yarns that she would spin Would spin me round in circles searching for my origin Return of the Ellington, no fanfare to declare Jealous the rest of them ’cause they would never dare With each story of the seas a pinch of salt I take And a shot to keep all trace of doubt from showing on my face Travelling lightly, telling his story He’ll never be boring like them Travelling lightly, telling his story He’ll never be boring again He’s ridden an Elephant , shot a man between the eyes Climbed the Pyrenees and absailed down the other side He chased the Aztec gold and found forgotten tribes He sailed the river Seine I heard he fished the river dry For someone so worldly, I wonder why he’s here with me If mother was here now she’d say that we’re a family His smile it rings a bell It also rings alarm ’cause mother always warned me he would only do me harm Travelling lightly, telling his story He’ll never be boring like them Travelling lightly, telling his story He’ll never be boring again Pattacake pattacake bake into a pie Tales of his rights and his wrongs Down through the centuries all the children rhyme Donovan’s Epitaph song Travelling lightly, telling his story... ************************************* ROSALIE CUNNINGHAM vocals, guitars, bass, hammond, percussion ROSCO WILSON guitar / drums RIC SANDERS electric violin CLAUDIA GONZALEZ DIAZ flute RAPH MURA drums Composed, produced and mixed by CUNNINGHAM / WILSON Recorded and mixed at Mushy Room Studios Mastered by JON ASTLEY Music video by CUNNINGHAM
