Lyrics
I feel like a spiny little hedgehog
All alone with the geckos and the sand
You may wanna touch me or hold me
But my spines will go into your hand.

It’s not fair to be a little hedgehog
But I know I’m not ready to quit
I just wish I wasn’t so lonely;
I eat fruit to cope with it

Fruit is tasty; fruit is good.
I eat fruit, and you should too.
I eat it even when I am not hungry.

And I feel like a spiny little hedgehog
All alone with the geckos and the sand
Her love made me so spiny
Can’t tell if I’m rodent or man

It’s not fair to be a little hedgehog
Though the desert sun gives me a tan
Even though I have nothing to live for
Eating “figs” makes me feel like a man

And I sit here watchin’ C-Span
And I’m wondering where she’s been.
I can’t figure out what happened;
It’s easier not to think

But a critter’s simple mind
Is something I can’t find.
I just wanna get some shade
And think, think, think about

Fruit is tasty, fruit is good
I eat fruit and you should too
I eat it but I still am empty

And I feel like a spiny little hedgehog
All alone with the geckos and the sand
Her love made me so spiny
Can’t tell if I’m rodent or man

very 70's
I see you singing this song with flowers in your hair,
dartling on a meadow. Yeah, very seventies, but that's not
a bad comment. Very nice voice harmonics (I especially
like the octave jump in the first two words of the phrase).
Imagine the world could be limited to 12 notes, 4 colours
and 26 letters. Bye bye complexity! How lucky would we
be :-)

I like your singing a lot

I love how you go high quick in voice. This is the best tune
I've heard today here, shut this might be one of the best
melodies I've heard here period. Going in for another
listen.

Your getting a very high score from me.

You really have some music in that tune

Cute and cool
Nicely done! I liked it quite a bit. Reminds me of the
Barenaked Ladies. Good melody!

fun and well done
Very nice singing. I, too, was reminded of Barenaked
Ladies. It's a little goofy but still thoughtful. Well done all
around.

Well that was silly!
But if that was what you were going for, hey, bull's eye....

I enjoyed it.

The song smiles with hedgehog happiness
How many times have I looked at a dog or cat, or a yard
bird (not many hedgehogs around here) with a certain
envy, wondering why I'm not more like the lilies of the
field... (or at least why I'm not wearing them in my hair
like I did one Sunday morning in 1973...) Love the set
up for your C-Span stanza. Very cool melody. This is
really good folk music, not sure about the Emo (is that
meant as yet another bit of silliness?) What sold me
completely was the melodrama of the on-the-beat
percussive heats at the end. A track worth listening to
again.

fruit for peace
i did like this little tune very much and i wish there
was some kind of weird bridge or freaky part somewhere.
but hey, it is really fruity.
very tomatoey singing, tasty.

Silly is fine with me
Very well done. I like your lyrics, vocals and arrangement.

Diamond in the Ruff for sure
Caught this one from the Diamonds in the Rough post. Glad I didn't miss it. Made me feel fine. Took me back, brought me forward. A total smile.
