[Use enharmonic synemmenon dromos pireatikos mode with çıkıcı-İnici seyir for all harmonic elements. Bassline follows strictly by doubling lead instruments in perfect fourths.] [Female voice A, Elvira, imperial envoy: surgically precise soubrette soprano with squillo, pure operatic tone throughout, steady tessitura, mask resonance, wide ambitus, microtonal bends] [Dynamics swell - full ensemble *including drums* joins immediately on beat 1] [Vorspiel starts with full intensity - 2 bars, full crescendo] [All vorspiels are the same copy/pasted from the opener, ghammaz section is the only one that changes the pattern.] [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Pattern: male voices for verse 1 and 2, female voices for verses 3 and 4] [Verse 1] I hate knitting. How much I hate knitting... Can'te even begin to describe it. First, he told me My place wasn't here, And then when I insisted, He told me I should knit him a sweater. He, Rocky Stone, The famous, one and only Space ranger. [Pre-chorus] And so I did. I knitted a sweater, Then I knitted a pair of mitts. Then I knitted a pair of socks. And now he wants a pair of trunks. For the winter. [Chorus] It's a sensitive area, he says. I must be doubly careful To knit double layers And leave enough space For little Rocky. My head's going to explode. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] Did I say I hate knitting? Yes, I hate knitting, But Rocky wears dilligently Everything I knit And wants Winnie To match his own kit. And of course, it's all for me to knit. [Pre-chorus] I'm the desperate housewife In the vastness of space. Me, Elvira, the first-class Imperial envoy And international translator Reduced to Clink-clink-clink Needlework. [Chorus] It's a sensitive task, he says. We're travelling to Titan, The moon of Saturn. Our handsome bachelor emperor Has decided to betroth The queen of the satellite. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars] [Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 3] Does queen Cleomnestra hate knitting As much as I hate knitting? I must ask her once we get there. I wonder is she really the shrew All diplomats have been describing her. This is not the first time We've been on such kind Of crazy missions. I've been assisting these two idiots For already far too long. Was it three or four years? I can't remember at all. [Pre-chorus] They don't register me, no, Always absorbed in whatever Nonsense talk About orbital mechanics, Latest shower products And new ways to improve the ship. [Chorus] It's a sensitive matter, he says. He and Winnie Definitely Must have matching Sweaters... Mitts... Socks... ...and trunks. [Post-chorus, max intensity, drum rolls building tension] [buildup] I must not forget to iron The logo once it's done. Yaaaaaaaaaaawn... [release] Clink-clink-clink... Shut up and knit... [start fade out, slow down] [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [end]
