Misfits|Halloween

Bonfires burning bright
Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember Halloween

Dead cats hanging from poles
Little dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween

Brown leafed vertigo
Where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween

This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween

Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

Candy apples and razor blades
Little dead are soon in graves
I remember Halloween

This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember

Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

 

[Purple Haze]

The Black Widow

Leaving lepidoptra - please, don't touch the display, little boy, aha cute! Moving to the next aisle we have arachnida, the spiders, our.. finest collection. This friendly little devil is the heptothilidi, unfortunately harmless. Next to him, the nasty licosa raptoria, his tiny fangs cause creeping ulcerations of the skin *laugh*. And here, my prize, the Black Widow. Isn't she lovely?.. and so deadly. Her kiss is fifteen times as poisonous as that of the rattlesnake. You see her venom is highly neurotoxic, which is to say that it attacks the central nervous system causing intense pain, profuse sweating, difficulty in breathing, loss of consciousness, violent convulsions and, finally.. death. You know what I think I love the most about her is her inborn need to dominate, possess. In fact, immediately after the consummation of her marriage to the smaller and weaker male of the specie she kills and eats him - *laugh* oh, she is delicious.. and I hope he was! Such power and dignity - unhampered by sentiment. If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy, I feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling dimented child-king long enough! And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!


These words he speaks are true
We're all humanary stew if
We don't pledge allegiance to
The Black Widow

The horror that he brings
The horror of his sting
The unholiest of kings
The Black Widow

Our minds will be his toy
And every girl and boy will learn to be employed by
The Black Widow

Love him
Yes we love him
Love him
Yes we love him

He sits upon his throne and picks at all the bones of his
Husbands and his
Wives he's devoured
He stares with a gleam
With a laugh so obscene at the virgins and the children
He's deflowered

Love him
Yes we love him
Love him
Yes we love him
Love me
Yes we love him


Our thoughts are hot and crazed
Our brains are webbed in haze
Of mindless senseless daze
The Black Widow

These words he speaks are true
We're all humanary stew
If we don't pledge allegiance to
The Black Widow

Geto Boys

"Mind Playing Tricks on Me"

Classic


This year Halloween fell on a weekend
Me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treatin
Robbin little kids for bags
Till an old man got behind our ass
So we speeded up the pace
Took a look back, and he was right before our face
He'd be in for a squabble no doubt
So I swung and hit the nigga in his mouth
He was goin down, we figured
But this was no ordinary nigga
He stood about six or seven feet
Now, that's the nigga I'd be seein in my sleep
So we triple-teamed on him
Droppin them motherfuckin B's on him
The more I swung the more blood flew
Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared, too
Then I felt just like a fiend
It wasn't even close to Halloween
It was dark as fuck on the streets
My hands were all bloody, from punchin on the concrete
God damn, homie
My mind is playin tricks on me

 

[Raquel_Hell]

Dead Kennedys|Halloween

So it's Halloween
And you feel like dancin'
And you feel like shinin'
And you feel like letting loose

Whatcha gonna be?
Babe, you better know
And you better plan
Better plan all day

Better plan all week
Better plan all month
Better plan all year

You're dressed up like a clown
Putting on your act
It's the only time all year
You'll ever admit that

I can see your eyes
I can see your brain
Baby nothing's changed
(repeat)

You're still hiding in a mask
You take your fun seriously
No, don't blow this year's chance
Tomorrow your mold goes back on

After Halloween

You go to work today
You'll go to work tomorrow
Shitfaced tonight
You'll brag about it for months

Remember what I did
Remember what I was
Back on Halloween

But what's in between?
Where are your ideas?
You sit around and dream
For next Halloween

Why not everyday?
Are you so afraid
What will people say
(repeat)

After Halloween

Because your roll is planned for you
There's nothing you can do
But stop and think it through
But what will your boss say to you

And what will your girlfriend say to you

And what will people out on the street they might glare at you
And whadya know? You're pretty self-conscious too

So you run back and stuff yourselves in rigid business costumes
Only at night to score is your leather uniform exhumed
Why don't you take your social regulations
And shove 'em up your ass

 

[Raquel_Hell]

Siouxsie and the Banshees|Halloween

The night is still
And the frost it bites my face
I wear my silence like a mask
And murmur like a ghost
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet

The carefree days
Are distant now
I wear my memories like a shroud
I try to speak but words collapse
Echoing
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet

I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween... Halloween

A sweet reminder
In the ice-blue nursery
Of a childish murder
Of hidden lustre
And she cries
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet

I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween... Halloween

Squirrel Nut Zippers|Hell

In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay.

In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay

People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet

This is a place where enternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Then baked into cakes which are passed around

Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement,
Top skill and brains
But all the things you tried to hide
Will be revealed on the other side

Now the D, and the A, and the M
And the N, and the A, and the T
And the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame

Now the D, and the A, and the M
And the N, and the A, and the T
And the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame!

Eagles/ Witchy Woman

Raven hair and ruby lips
sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
she's a restless spirit on an endless flight
wooo hooo witchy woman, see how
high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman she got
the moon in her eye
She held me spellbound in the night
dancing shadows and firelight
crazy laughter in another
room and she drove herself to madness
with a silver spoon
woo hoo witchy woman see how high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman she got the moon in her eye
Well I know you want a lover,
let me tell your brother, she's been sleeping
in the Devil's bed.
And there's some rumors going round
someone's underground
she can rock you in the nighttime
'til your skin turns red
woo hoo witchy woman
see how high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman
she got the moon in her eye

A Big Hoo-Rah for the Squirrel Nut Zipperz!

Darkness
by Demian

So I don't know who you are
My eyes you've never seen
and in between you and me
Darkness

But you are here with me
My heart iz bleeding into you
Your shallow ghost
iz alive in
Darkness

The world leaves me Alone
Cash can buy your Dreams
It seems the Ocean is
Darkness

When I wuz a child
I wish I would have met the Maker
way back when

Darkness is a Forever
not so far away

Goblin Girl

Hob-noblin
Wit de goblin
De goblin girl
From the mystery world

Hob-noblin
Wit de goblin
She's black and green
'cause it's Halloween

Raggedy black
Is the way she dress
Little green shoes
'N her hairs a mess
On Halloween night
At de costume ball
She's a goblin girl
An' she can gobble it all

She's a goblin
She's a Goblin Girl
She's a goblin
She's a Goblin Girl
I been hobblin'
'Cause of the Goblin
Goblin Girl...Goblin Girl

Some girls like
To dress like a witch
Some girls like
To dress like a queen
Best way a girl
Can dress for me
Is in a Goblin suit
(They look so cute...)

When they're a goblin
There ain't a problin
When they're a goblin
I start a-wooblin'
Pink all over
Some is tan

Goblin Girls
From every land
They look good
From every which-a-way
Every Halloween
You can hear me say:
"Goblin Girl, take it away..."

Hob-noblin
Wit de goblin
De Goblin Girl
From da mystery world

Talkin' 'bout the bad girls
All the Goblin Girls
Talkin' 'bout the bad, bad girls
The little Goblin Girls
Some are called Doreen
Some are dressed in green
They're trickin your treat
But they're bad girls
But they're very bad girls
They make your face look like
It has scales on it
But that's okay...
When the green light shines down
On the black guys in the band
Everybody in the audience
Thinks they're seeing something
That looks like it's made out of
Fish skin
But Coy leaves the green gels in the truss
Because he knows the guys in the front
Really enjoy looking like they've got
Scales all over their body...

Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark, has pretty teeth, dear....and he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe.....and he keeps it, out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear....scarlet billows start to spread
Just a gloved hand, has MacHeath, babe..and he never shows a single drop of red

On the sidewalk...Sunday morning, commin' down...lies a body oozin' life
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner...could that someone be Mack the Knife?

(instrumental break)

There's a tugboat....down by the river.....with a cement bag, hangin' down
Oh, the cement's just for weight, dear...five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Ole Louie Miller disappeared, babe...after he withdrew all his cash
Now MacHeath spends like a sailor...could it be our boy's...done somethin' rash?

There's Jenny Diver, and Sukey Tawdry..Miss Lotte Lenya, and ole Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe.....now that Macky's back in town

I said that line forms on the right, babe.....now that Macky's back in town.

Werewolves of London Lyrics - Warren Zevon

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein
Werewolves of London

If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Werewolves of London

He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Werewolves of London

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Werewolves of London
Draw blood

 

[vffan]

not sure if this qualifies as Halloween, but I like it!

Dead Man's Party-Oingo Boingo


I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

CHORUS
I was struck by lighting
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .
(Don't run away it's only me)

All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
With a dead man . . . Dead Man . . .

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to my door
He Says there's room for maybe just one more . . .

CHORUS

Don't run away it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away it's only me . . .

Spooky
Atlanta Rhythm Section version


In the cool of the evening when everything is gettin' kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you'd like to go with me and see a movie
First you say "No", you've got some plans for the night
And then you stop and say, "All right"
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.

You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
And if some fellow looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky! Spooky! Yeah - yeah

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin'
I'm gonna tell you all that my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams
So I'll propose... on Halloween.
Baby, love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Ah, spooky, yeah-uh!

 

[redelicious]

I think there are several versions fo this floating around....

Halloween

Dave Matthews Band


Hey little dreamer's eyes open and staring up at me
Oh, little lovely eyes, oh, radiant
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come I'll take your soul
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come and I will go

I will dream within the night
Shadows on the windows
Lead our love
Every love will lead me on tonight
I will lay you lying,
I will not within this life

Oh, little dreamer eyes open and waving here
Wait until I come, I see him with you
Until I come, I'll leave with me
Until I come, I do come, love...

We will leave it all behind
Oh, and in the nightmares,
I'll fill them in good time, oh
They will 'seech your mind
And no lying, and you may, well, ask,
"Why do we run around here?
Oh, while you come inside me
Oh, why does it rip me all between?"
Why then, why then, watch this little fuck!

Going away, yeah...
Why this lonely, why this lonely, why this lonely, love?
Why this lonely, why this lonely, why this lonely, love?
Halloween.
Carry on, burial, burial, burial, burial, burial
And let them see
But tell us, are you satisfied with fucking?
Don't walk away, don't walk away, don't walk away
I'm talking to you
Lovey dove, lovey dove, love is hell, love is up to you
Love, love, love, love is up to you
Love, love, love, love is up to you
Fuck!

bauhaus~bela lugosi's dead

white on white translucent black capes
back on the back
bela lugosi's dead
the bats have left the bell tower
the victims have been bled
red velvet lines the black box
bela lugosi's dead
undead undead undead
the virginal brides file past his tomb
strewn with time's dead flowers
bereft in deathly bloom
alone in a darkened room
the count bela lugosi's dead
undead undead undead

oh bela
bela's undead

These are great! Lots of stuff I don't have in my collection yet!

THE Halloween song!

Monster Mash - Bobby "Boris" Pickett

I was working in the lab, late one night,
When my eyes beheld, an eerie sight.
For my monster from his slab began to rise,
And suddenly, to my surprise,

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east,
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast,
The ghouls all came from their humble abode,
To get a jolt, from my electrode

They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash

The zombies were having fun,
The party had just begun.
The guests included wolfman, Dracula and his son.

The scene was rocking, all were digging the sounds,
Igor on chains backed by his baying hounds,
The coffin bangers were about to arrive,
With their vocal group, the crypt kicker five

They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash

Out from his coffin Drac's voice did ring,
It seems he was troubled by just one thing,
He opened the lid and shook his fist and said,
"Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist"?

It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash,
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash,
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash.

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land,
For you the living this mash was meant too,
When you get to my door tell them Boris sent you.

And you can Mash
And you can Monster Mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard Smash
And you can Mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can Mash
Then you can Monster Mash

SCARY MONSTERS (AND SUPER CREEPS)

She had a horror of rooms
She was tired you can't hide beat
And when she looked in your eyes
They were blue, but nobody home
She could've been a killer
If she didn't look the way she do, but she do
She opened strange doors
That we'd never close again

She began to wail, jealousy screams
Waiting at the lights, know what I mean

CHORUS:
Scary monsters, super creeps, keep me running, running scared

She asked me to stay
And I stole her room
She asked for my love
And I gave her a dangerous smile
Now she's stupid on the streets
And she can't socialize
I love the little girl
And I'll love her 'til the day she dies

Jimmy's guitar sound, jealousy screams
Waiting at the lights, know what I mean

Love Song For A Vampire

Come into these arms again
and lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
is beating like a drum
It beats for you it bleeds for you
it knows not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
it is the song of songs

Once I had the rarest rose
that ever deemed to bloom
Cruel winter chilled the bud
and stole my flower too soon
Oh loneliness Oh hopelessness
to search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
no greater love than mine.

Love o love o .... still falls the rain
Love o love o .... still falls the night
Love o love o .... damned forever

Let me be the only one
to keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven is laid
the stars are bright as gold
They shine for you they shine for you
they burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
and set this spirit free

concrete blond~bloodletting

There's a crack in the mirror
and a bloodstain on the bed -
There's a crack in the mirror
and a bloodstain on the bed -
O you were a vampire
and baby I'm walking dead
O you were a vampire
and baby I'm walking dead

I got the ways and means
to New Orleans
I'm going down by the river where it's warm and green
I'm gonna have a drink
and walk around
I got a lot to think about
oh yeah

There's a rocking chair
by the window down the hall
I hear something there
in the shadow down the hall
O you were a vampire
and now I am nothing at all
O you were a vampire
and now I am nothing at all
