Song Lyrics #22 Bloodletting

 

This week I'm looking at Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) by Concrete Blonde. I mean, it's almost Halloween, right? Is there seriously a better song for this time of year? So... this song is a trip. Love the lyrics and the tune. And it's atmospheric as well, with the bell tolling and the thunder.          

So what do you think?   

Lyrics

There's a crack in the mirror 

And a bloodstain on the bed 

There's a crack in the mirror

And a bloodstain on the bed

Oh, you were a vampire 

And baby, I'm the walking dead 

Oh, you were a vampire 

And baby, I'm the walking dead 

I got the ways and means 

to New Orleans 

I'm going down by the river 

Where it's warm and green 

I'm gonna have a drink and walk around 

I got a lot to think about 

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

There's a rocking chair by the window

Down the hall 

I hear something there in the shadow 

Down the hall 

Oh, you were a vampire

And now I'm nothing at all 

Oh, you were a vampire

And now I am nothing at all 

I got the ways and means 

to New Orleans

I'm going down by the river

Where it's warm and green 

I'm gonna have a drink and walk around 

I got a lot to think about 

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

They used to dance in the garden

In the middle of the night 

Dancing out in the garden 

In the middle of the night 

Oh, you were a vampire

And I may never see the light 

Oh, you were a vampire 

And I may never see the light 

I got the ways and means 

to New Orleans 

I'm going down by the river

Where it's warm and green

I'm gonna have a drink and walk around

I got a lot to think about 

I got the ways and means 

to New Orleans 

I'm going down by the river 

Where it's warm and green

I'm gonna have a drink and walk around 

I got a lot to think about 

Oh yeah

Oh yeah 

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

So we had a great invitational for marching band and color guard last week, the event was much better this year after having had sleet the year before! Otherwise this week kinda went by fast? I'm in the middle of Wilder Girls and the new Kathleen Baldwin book- they're both great so far. Oh, and the Bookish Games continue, and they are turning out to be quite entertaining. You can find all the action here. Last week we had cheese puns taking over the Game...       

Is anyone else amazed that it's almost Nov? Where has the fall gone?
