Arachnophobia

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

Just a song about one of my phobias. Luckily here in the uk we don't get them that big thanks for listening. Darren.

Lyrics
I'm so sorry mr. spider, i didn't mean to kill ya
But i didn't know what to do, and you were scaring me
i hope that you can forgive me, i'm really very sorry,
So please don't send your brothers to avenge your death on me

Oh, oh Arachnophobia Oh, oh Arachnophobia
Oh, oh Arachnophobia,
i've got the phobia

It's hiding in the shadows,
it's got me in it's sights
It'll creep up and surprise me
Sends shivers down my spine
I listen to my heart beat, it's pounding like a drum
I'm frozen in it's presence, got nowhere left to run

Oh, oh Arachnophobia Oh, oh Arachnophobia
Oh, oh Arachnophobia,


I've been scared, all my life
trying to hide, the fear inside
so scared, all my life
And it's never gone away
never gone away ,
never gone ,never gone away
never gone away, never gone, never gone away.

Oh, oh Arachnophobia Oh, oh, Arachnophobia
Oh, oh, Arachnophobia
It's only a little spider
A huge, massive spider
can somebody please take it away,
just take it away - please.

keith - vocals/ bass
Me - everything else

LoL cool song ... quite betlesque ... the same I'm a bit sorry for the spider !

[Ray Brookes]

Cool and amusing song, Darren and love that Beatles influence, especially with Keith's vox.

Here in Australia we get some huge mongrel spiders yet curiously it is not so much the large ones to fear as the worst ones are the smaller Red Back Spider and the Funnel Web Spider; either of which can do you some serious damage with just one bite, even fatally in some cases. Always have to shake yer boots in the morning before you put them on LOL.

Excellent track Darren kinda has an ELO feel to my eaR possibly because i've just been listening to them anyway a beauty of track and all yours ....pleased we don't have those piosonous creatures Rays got over here.....YET!

[BerryPatch]

Awesome song guys. Beatlesque with some really nice changes, especially love that bridge. What an original song topic too. I don't like any insects at all really myself

[Bluesberry]

love the keyboard work here....mellotron like sounds...very tasty.....super tasty...... sounds so very good...that bass is really delicious also....

[Kenneth]

Good song! I hear the ELO sound as well, love it!

[Pete C]

Great song - I'm also getting an ELO vibe from it. I understand your fear - I hate wasps. I don't like spiders but I usually catch them in a glass and throw them outside.

uh oh...this reminded me I need to spray the house again....cuz I have no sorrow in squishing them dead...
great sound here again.... reminds me of a 70's or early 80's pop rock tune like ELO or a little Beatleish....but the little keyboard thing even hints more to the 60's....
great bass work...it drives the tune ahead .... some great sounds in here....
another big song!

[Farrell Jackson]

I have to agree with the comments about a Beatles/ELO vibe here....which is very cool! The walking bass line moves the song along quite nicely. Great keys work and vocals! Phobias are very real to the people that have them. I'm sure I have one.....maybe running out of beer, lol. Good songwriting!
