Description:

There are some songs that I simply have to sing, and this is one of them. I've never quite got over this song since I first heard it on Rickie's Pirates Album years and years ago. I am sorry if this hurts you to listen to, but ,trust me, it just about kills me to sing it. Here are the lyrics. She was pregnant in May Now they're on their way Dashing thru the snow To St. John's, here we go Well, it could be a boy But it's okay if he's girl Oh, these things that grow out of The things that we give We should move to the west side They still believe in things That give a kid half a chance When he pulled off the road Step in a waltz of red moon-beams Said he fit an APB, A robbery nearby And he go for his wallet And they thought he was going for a gun And the cops blew Bird away Some kids like watching Saturday cartoons Some girls listen to records all day in their rooms But what do birds leave behind, of the wings that they came with If a son's in a tree building model planes? Skeletons, Skeletons.

Hi and thank-you very much for this wonderful comment. I fell in love with Rickie way back when I first listened to her Pirates Album. Her voice and emotional presentation just blew me away. Every song was great!! Skeletons is a masterpiece!!! I still cannot listen to it or sing it withought feeling the emotion in this song!! I believe that Rickie had a friend with the nickname Bird, but I'm not absolutely sure. Thanks again for listening

Wow,amazing performance. I have heard so few of Rickie's songs covered much less done as well as you did. This is the most emotion filled song EVER written and performed. Rickie could crack her voice and bring laughter in the next moment. I have read years ago that this was based on true events involving some of Rickie's friends.
