Hypergraphia 4: Fatally Yours and The Greedy


Like I said before, this song seems to be very out of place compared to the other songs that the author wrote down. It's about death/dying like "Seasons in the Sun" and "The Rake's Song" and, like "The Rake's Song", it focuses on killing. But the genres are very different, and it just doesn't seem to fit.



And this is the "Greedy" segment from Raggedy Anne and Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977). It focuses on a character called The Greedy who lives in a place called The Taffy Pit and eats, and eats, and eats but can never get his fill. His song is about him regretting his existence and includes the line "Is this endless eating all there is to be?" The author seems to be particularly focused on this phrase.
