Title: Bath Time Spider - Stonehinged Track 8
Post by: Stoney on February 14, 2010, 08:49:13 AM
Well what can I say about this very silly track...I know...I will put on my very deepest sci-fi promo voice and say

 8) "IN THE BATH............EVERYONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM"  8)

This track has had a number of incarnations over the years but this is the best by far and the guys have done a fantastic job. Andy's bass powers it along with a punching riff ....Billy's guitar work is stunning as always with ringing tones and a great lead break....J's keys are brilliant with pumping piano  and the melodic lines in the chorus's are superbly named as "Oddity"....Perfect
Well done everyone

Bath Time Spider  (Burrage 98)

V1
When it's cold outside, I need a place to hide
Where it's nice and warm
(As snug as a bug)
Your company is fun for me
Where am I hiding?
(I'm under the plug)

I've been watching you, and the things you do
I love to be near you
(As snug as a bug)
If you move me on, it won't be for long
I'll be back to see you
(I'm under the plug)

Ch
Coz I'm your bath time spider
I'm sitting here beside ya
Waiting for you to see me
To give you a scare
I like to cause a scene
I love the way you scream
Just turn around
I'll be there

Every time it rains
I'll hide in the drains
Creeping up on you
When you're unaware
Look behind the sink
I'm never where you think
But in your mind
I'll be there

V2
When you're asleep, into your room I'll creep
I love to be near you
(As snug as a bug)
But when morning comes, I'll have you on the run
I'm waiting for you
(I'm under the plug)

I don't know why, you act so shy
When you're close to me
(As snug as a bug)
If you were a fly, I could understand why
But it's hard to see
(I'm under the plug)

ah.. me pumpin'... what?? nevermind that, how about the lectric piano? :)

all kidding aside, for this being a silly song, the musicianship is superb. nothing but the best from this group, and you guys are each perfectionists at your craft. I am really honored to be a part of this project.

Stoney,

You spider seems to be more likeable than Boris. if we were to make a video, would it be cheesy effects like the Vincent Price helmed "The Fly" movies - a tiny face inserted onto the fly..I wonder.

That would be great wouldn't it...I love the really cheesy Hammer Horror stuff..there was a short lived band called "The Barbs" over here a couple of years ago that started to use the imagery in their vids and promotions ...looked really cool....great band too

Ian,

I have been meaning to ask - who's voice is it in the beginning (the little kid i mean). Not a royalty free loop?

Cheers
Andy

Haha ..a piano isn't as funny as a pumping organ.... sorry J  :D

Oh!!!  >:(... That's dirty words about a respectable harvory player.

BTW, this tune rocks as usual... Ian, you should think of going earning real money because there's a place on earth for your tunes... They're original and nobody does it the way you do... Your tunes are different from everything.

If I was one of those AR guys, I'd explore you to the bone.
