I'm having exactly the same problem singing it to myself. The first few lines are okay, till the voice goes up. Marvin's voice doesn't go up, or not perceptibly, at any rate.
Have I overstepped the bounds of the possible? Is this a bridge too far? (Obviously not, idiot Nyrond, this song doesn't have a bridge.) Is this song completely unperformable? Could it be done with advanced electronics, or vocal surgery, or mind-altering chemicals, or a cup of really strong tea, or...I'm drifting. Maybe we should ask Mr Coulton. (For one thing, he's probably going to be cheaper than Mr Cohen.)
