I'm Gonna Scare the Man In The Moon

Here is a Halloween track release.

I've always loved Halloween. A Christmas for one's wild side. Lighting ghoulish faced lanterns, playing sticky games and dressing up in scary homemade costumes. Ghosts and witches were the classic costumes, weren't they?

Nowadays it's all sexy nurses and sensual bats and seductive CSI Technicians.

Yes, you can keep your zombie cheerleaders and your play boy devil bunnies. A witch is who I want to be creeping me out under the full moon on All Hallows Eve.

Anyway, I hope you all have a fan(g)tastic and terr(or)ific night and enjoy this lyric. Oh! and remember: the monsters are not in your head. That noise in the other room is something you might not want to investigate until morning.


Anyway, here it is... It's called:

I'm Gonna Scare the Man In The Moon

I’ve been thinking lately, about my grave mortality

About birth and death, and what lies between

Is just earth and breath and Halloween

I’ve been looking up lately, at the man in the moon

“A charlatan faker”, his mean light does accuse

“Lovers’ taker of esteem be your muse”

I’ve been plotting lately, how I’m gonna show him

They really care, and I can find love in their tune

Yeah, I’m gonna scare the man in the moon

I’m gonna scare the man in the moon

Carve the sun

Into a jack-o-lantern

Shine it down onto his face soon

I’m gonna scare the man in the moon

I’ve been grieving lately, on my life’s weed full pathway

Moments passed, opportunities I have betrayed

On all of the fast, tease decisions I’ve made

I’ve been looking up lately, at the man in the moon

His pale grey eyes, shine right down round me,

“witch the flies time night, wary always Be”

I’ve been waiting up lately, long for my right of reply

My lover tells, man in the moon’s tricks are sly

“Witches cast spells, need broomsticks to fly”

I’m gonna scare the man in the moon

Carve the sun

Into a jack-o-lantern

Shine it down onto his face soon

I’m gonna scare the man in the moon

Join me in moonlight, there’s nothing to fear

With you, dear, I could be sincere

I’m gonna scare the man in the moon

With razor teeth

Wizened heart underneath

Like a rotten bud after the bloom

I’m gonna scare the man in the moon

I’ve not been sleeping lately, dwelling on my grave mortality

About birth and death and sorrow, and what lies between

Is just earth and breath we borrow, and Halloween

Well I’m gonna scare the man in the moon

His light gleams onto my impenetrable gloom

Thanks to my amazing Twitter followers for posting me pictures of sultry witches when I asked for help. They inspired me!

If My Love is an Altar, My Lips are Daggers

Here is a Greville and the Tombstones song:
If My Love is an Altar, My Lips are Daggers

To be sung by girls.

I’m hard crushing!

So into you

I’m red blushing!

Should you might

One night

Take up my invite

I’m having all the ghoul kids over

We can try to contact the living

We’ll hold hands Listen to favourite bands

Whatever you want, I’m giving

And I know what they say:

My lips hold a curse they betray

A fate sealed by my kiss

But don’t run away

Boy’s lips lie

Kiss me anyway

I’m having all the ghoul kids over

For a wide eyed candle Séance

We’ll squeeze tight

Can stay together all night

Speak in tongues as Bon Vivants

And I know what they say:

My lips stopped Steve getting away

A fate sealed by my kiss

But don’t run away

Boy’s lips lie

Kiss me anyway

I hear you’re a writer

A poet turned match striker

Words inked to ignite her

Delicate soul

My lips burn hot for you

My waters run deep for you

My eyes turn black as two

Lumps of Coal

I’ll kiss you under beams of destruction

We’ll be perfection in the setting sun

And I know what they say:

My lips made Dave pass right away

A fate sealed by my kiss

But don’t run away

Boy’s lips lie

Kiss me anyway

I’m having all the ghoul kids over

See if we can sacrifice the liars

Down with me lie

A kiss between you and I

Hope so much you don’t die

And I know what they say:

My lips spell out “obitu-aray”

A fate sealed by my kiss

But don’t run away

Boy’s lips lie

Kiss me anyway

Kiss me anyway

The Romantic Masochist: the Wunderbar! remix

One of the dear fans of Greville and the Tombstones, @tellthee, has translated Romantic Masochist into German. How fantastic is that!?

Here is the German version of Romantic Masochist, written by the super @tellthee:

 

 

 

 

 

Should Greville and the Tombstones ever do an international tour and play Berlin, THIS is the version of Romantic Masochist which will be performed.

 

My German is not good. But I think this song's chorus covers how I feel about @tellthee and her kind gift - Ladies and Gentleman I give you Tenpole Tudor and their song Wunderbar; "There is a word in German and I think it says it all... Wunderbar!"

 

I agree!
