look, i've been catching up this week! :lol:
and, yes, i know the common abbreviation for ukulele is "uke" but i'd love it if it was "uku" so i made it uku :-D

uku love

1 where did you go?
2 where did i go?
1 where did you go?

1 if i said i sat up waiting for you
it'd be a lie
but i
thought you'd drop by
2 well, what do i
even say

.
.
.
2 do you dream?
1 do i dream?
2 for i am dreaming
there's his face in the parking lot and
there's all my anger in it, deafening him
1 well, you're done hiding behind cars, are you then?
2 i wish i was, or past caring, on a boat
1 on a boat?
2 on a boat with sailors' boots and you
1 me?
2 singing a ukulele shanty in yellow

.
.
.
1 becky, do you dream?
2 do i dream?
1 for i am dreaming
there's my mum in the supermarket and
there's me in her arms, she's carrying
2 like her dream once, was it?
1 no, i wasn't a kid in this one, oh ice
2 ice?
1 i wish i was on ice, with an igloo and you
2 me?
1 singing a ukulele carol in blue
2 “Antarctica . . .
1 . . . Starts Here”
“And the only things that hold us back . . .
Both: . . . are things we hold inside”
so let's go – go – let's
ride – ride – the waves
hide – hide – inside the ice
for crystal rain & slow refrains & clarity

cheers,
straycat.

Hi Straycat,

Interesting duet :D I like the idea of finishing each other's lines and taking it in new directions.

This is great!- “And the only things that hold us back . . .
Both: . . . are things we hold inside”

.....a Coldplay"ish" vibe could work well with this (add the uku as well)
or like Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI8NuFAETMQ

Thanks for sharing.

James

Sorry, James, this is totally lame (i.e. late) as replies go :lol:

Love the song you posted as a suggestion!
Just realised I probably (half-)stole the first lines from this lovely bit of music http://youtu.be/y2Ny8Tv2Vwg
Been hearing them to that melody in my head :lol:

Glad you like this, it's from Frank Turner's "Sailor's Boots" (he has "me" and "I" instead of "us" and "we").
Feel free to go fall in love here: http://youtu.be/pF1KuEo6LeA :D

Thanks a million!
