Halloween.

Especially done for this forum, as I thought a little spooking wouldn't go amiss this week.  Very quickly put together as I'm supposed to be doing other things?!?

It fits into the parody - comedy section I think - as it was fun doing it.Lol ;)

EDIT:  I really am too bad about forgetting to put the words up:
[wurdz]That crazy lady,
From the house next door,
I saw her creeping past the garden wall,
Her makeup glistened in the moonlit night
Her lips were scarlet, her complexion , white.

She crept on up,
To my front door,
Knocked I think, but i'm not sure,
I heard the latch click and the hinges squeak,
She came inside, began to speak,

The squishing noise,
Of those unearthly tones,
Got louder as I dropped the phone
It didn't matter anyway,
My goose was cooked as she began to sway,

(Ooahh,
 Its time for you to come with me, to take your place along my side and walk the streets where we once plyed)

For this one night,
For this one night,,
For this one night,
In any year,
We walk together where we once were,
On the street without lights, to where we once were, when we were alive.

I read this quickly on the list of new postings and thought it was Banshees Concert, ie something about a Siouxsie Sue gig! Mind you, the banshee voice sounds like Siouxsie Sue!!

Great fun, can't really make out the words with my pooor hearing but love what I can hear is great fun. Love the concept and all the eerie guitars.

Cheers,

Nigel

This sounds totally weird - and I LOVE it! :)

I can almost hear this being performed by Neil Hannon's Divine Comedy.

Thanks Nigel.  If I hadn't been suffering from toothache, the vocals might have been a bit clearer.
