about

Intricate jazz vocal harmonies, delicate guitarwork and a smooth brass section make Hopscotch a feel-good delight.

lyrics

Oh, the cracks in my life just let the light shine through
Out of me, into you, a rainbow is piercing through
The broken spout just lets the river flow
Then the trees will grow, and the springtime blooms

Throw the stone and skip to one
It's all the appearance of having fun
But throw again and move ahead
There’s more to this than once was said
Getting in was hard enough
No turning back, ahead looks rough
The pebble skits and hits the six
The rules have changed, I’ve met with tricks

A childhood game, with all to gain
Who thought that it would end in pain?
I slip and fall, I scrape my knees
Sneering eyes deny my pleas
A Manga trip, a chalky line
A fattened lip as my head hits lime
Are you there? Pull me to seven?
Please take me home, I’m just eleven
