Spectre Vs. Rector 2
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Those £lowers, take them away
They're only funeral decoration
This is The Fall and this is the drudge nation
Your decadent sins will reap discipline
New puritan
You shook me
I wash every day but still it's
But still it's unclean unclean
I have saved a thousand souls
You cannot even save your own
I'm soaked in blood but always good
It's like I've drunk myself sober
I get better as I get older
MR James be born be born
Yog Sothoth rape me lord
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Van Greenway [blah blah]
Van Greenway [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Yog Sothoth rape me lord
Van Greenway (blab blab]
Yog Sothoth rape me lord
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
This is the second half of spectre versus rector
The rector lived in Hampshire
You probably know this if you've got the record
So we're like er breaking it in easy for you
Yog Sothoth rape me lord
Van Greenway [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Van Greenway [blah blah]
Hero and inspector walk from the scene
Is the hero banished forever?
The spectre
The spectre
The spectre
The spectre possesses the hero
But the possession is ineffectual
But the possession is ineffectual
The possession is ineffectual
The rector is half insane
The hero goes back into the mountains
the hero goes back into the mountains
Singing
The spectre is omnipresent
The spectre is omnipresent
Yog Sothoth rape me lord
Van Greenway [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Van Greenway [blah blah]
This song is a story
But the story is too hard to relate
You can only tell stories nowadays if it's all down on
paper
And you can't do it with loud amplifiers
The hero walks from the scene
Is the spectre banished forever?
The rector is half insane
The hero goes back into the mountains
Yog Sothoth rape me lord
Van Greenway [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
Sludge hai choi [blah blah]
And your decadent sins will reap discipline
And your decadent sins will reap discipline
Hail the new puritan
