Lyrics as requested:

teeth tiny tiny disappear into a river mouth
shrinking up shiny strong
sitting up and looking out

tiny tiny disappear into a river mouth
shrinking up shiny strong
sitting up and looking out

tiny did you hear about the book of eve
broke a rib and made a woman from a magazine
you can feel it 
living with this disease
but you’re never gonna make it looking like that

in another life
they’ll do it for you
pass it on
in another life
they’ll do it for me
another life’s
gone

looking up at the line of women who made
just another tiny with a voice 
in her head
let the boys do it cause they’re good like that
never thought I’d be a hero

in another life
they’ll do it for you
pass it on
in another life
they’ll do it for me
another life’s
gone

tiny did you hear about the book of eve
broke a rib and made a woman for a magazine
you can feel it living with this disease
but you’re never gonna make it looking like that
oh deep down ...
they won’t say it for you
if you don’t say it
then they won’t say it for you
if you don’t 
say it 
then they won’t say it for you
they won’t say it for you, they won’t say it for you

in another life
they’ll do it for you
pass it on
in another life
they’ll do it for me
another life’s
gone

Sinking Teeth

Practicing our harmonies for the climax of the saddest song in the set. How did we write such a tragic song?

Eerie Song, writing harmonies - The Mother Folkers

The Skipping Forecast are an experimental pop duo who blend guitar, vocals and percussive electronics into harmonised dreamlike songscapes.

Originally formed in Sheffield, within The Audacious Art Experiment collective, Sophia Pettit (Vocals/Guitar) and Luke Twyman (Percussion, Tones, Vocals) first began playing and writing acoustic folk songs together as a side project to main bands at the time. After a summer of playing unplugged around the USA at backyard and living room shows, the pair sought to develop their songs into a larger, more electronic sound for the dark and atmospheric domains. Utilising Twyman's current range of improvised analogue instruments (dictaphones, walkie talkies, synths, pedals) and Pettit's shimmering guitar and unique voice, The Skipping Forecast have evolved into a more abstract and haunting soundtrack to their gritty, picture book storytelling.
