about

A song inspired by Nigel’s love of Hannibal Lecter, Laurel and Hardy and certain events he can’t talk about for legal reasons. The only song on the album recorded on Nigel’s home 8-track and featuring just Nigel and Els. The band felt this had a unique eerie vibe that suited the song to perfection so left it alone.

lyrics

They just dragged the river, and found a sliver of skin
But the DNA had degraded, I guess I win

Somewhere an electric chair is waiting, for you
Somewhere an electric chair is waiting, for you

I see faces at the window. I hear voices through the floor
The dusty road knows where it’s leading, but only the river knows the score

Somewhere an electric chair is waiting, for you
Somewhere an electric chair is waiting, for you

Oh there’s no way of knowing, who dies and who lives
Only the river keeps on flowing, and only God forgives

Somewhere an electric chair is waiting, for you
Somewhere an electric chair is waiting, for you
