The Band of Brothers: MP3s/Lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Note from Michael: I've always enjoyed those old British ballads where the stanzas are strewn with the corpses of star-crossed lovers! Somehow, during the composition of this song I also began considering the great Universal monster movies I loved as a child. Henry Robin is responsible for the howling, Jamie Stevens is responsible for encouraging me to sing this over & over at rehearsals until we got it right, and my son Sean is responsible for the 'Gingerbread Man'.

Oh - Oh - Oh - Baby! Where you going in that Cold Moonlight?

Oh - Oh - Oh - Baby! Don't you leave me alone tonight!

Your face is pale and you're dressed in black - And I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat.

I never cared much for vampire bats or full moons!

Chorus

Please excuse me if my face is green - but that's the biggest hickey I've ever seen.

The sight of blood really turns my spleen stone cold!

Chorus

The wolves are howling over the ridge - and something creepy's crawling under the bridge.

My nerves are shot - so I've got to bid you so long!

Chorus

Hey, I'm running as fast as I can - eat my dust Mr. Gingerbread Man.

I gotta get me a change of plans - 'fore I die!

Chorus
