Geez, this was harder than it looked. We're back on the cannibal thing we first served up (groan) for the Christmas Special. It needs some work, methinks.

The Film: Silence of the lambs - winner of Best Picture in 1991

Title: Perfect Evil

Present yourself before me
I am evil I am vile
I'll tell you of my story
and it will make you smile
I wouldn't say I'm clever
I wouldn't say I'm bright
I could have gone on forever
But, you saw the light

[Chorus]
I gave you cryptic clues
was I ghost or was I spectre?
We dined on finest meat and booze
Where from? I'm Lecter

Serial disappearance
but you never had the proof
not one body of evidence
no wounds to match my tooth.
I caused my final downfall
with cigars and top champagne
and that final sweetest mouthful
as we sat and watched the rain

[Chorus]

We'd toast and roast your mother
there wasn't any waste
Taste like chicken or some other?
A simple acquired taste
So I'll read the headlines how
you caught this crazy man.
Your cellar full of red wines now
conceals my master plan

[Chorus]


"Be good at what you can do" - Fingerbanger"
I have always felt that it is better to do what is beautiful than what is 'right'" - Eliot Fisk

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

Alan, in a sick sort of way I enjoyed the 3rd verse.

I think it really captures the essence of Silence of the Lambs, good job, I'd like to hear an MP3 for this.


In Space, no one can hear me sing!

Alan,
. We're back on the cannibal thing we first served up (groan) for the Christmas Special
....Back for seconds already? :twisted: The lyrics seem to work for the most part.

Suggestion:
Consider referring to pork, or "sweet meat" instead of chicken.
We'd toast and roast your mother
there wasn't any waste
Taste like chicken or some other
'Human Flesh Tastes Like Pork'
Armin Meiwes, the German cannibal serving a life sentence for killing and eating a man who begged to be devoured, has described how the meat tasted of pork and how he prepared an elaborate meal of human steak in a green pepper sauce with croquettes and Brussels sprouts. http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,511775,00.html

Musically, you could go quite bright and cheery to create a macabre type piece "I feel pretty, oh so pretty"....or go Rocky Horror Picture Show style....and then there's always Rap! :lol:

Maybe you better throw a warning label on your CDs The Alan Green Collection -warning do not play this CD on a first date. :lol:

James

Quite a quiet week for song entries so far...and look what's shown up....a white guy's rap song from that would make The Notorious B.I.G. turn over in his grave....and this delicious number :shock: ....check please :lol:

Hee hee

Yes, songs of the post-nuclear apocalypse, corrupt politicians, grown-up punks, economic meltdown, a happy but failed musician, the evil of urbanisation and now cannibalism. That's not a bad start is it. All cheerful stuff.

There's a CD round here somewhere of the last lot of songs I recorded, and that includes items like the guy counting down the days on death row, the world as seen by a barman, and the devil in conversation with a guy about his soul.

There's another set of lyrics round here about the post-nuclear apocalypse too, I must get that recorded...

A :-)

Nice one Alan

Great film, but can't remember the soundtrack at all - must watch again soon.

Anyways, all this talk about roasting... slurp,slurp,slurp - I'm feeling a bit peckish - off for a sandwich now and maybe a few father beans (whatever they are).

Rock on!

I'm just thinking of the scene where he's frying up some long pig brain while the vic watches. veird!

Can't remember if he minced some garlic for that. Let's have the CD by Christmas Alan. It will do great over here.
