lyrics

We set out for shore
In the pissin down rain
Some stayed aboard
And called us insane
But something on that ship ate them alive
We couldn't stay but one more night

When we made it to shore
We were three men alive
Of nineteen began
Some lost to the tide (man overboard)
The preacher jumped off ship on day one
He couldn't live with what he'd done

Chorus
Scream bloody murder
Howlin at the moon
They'll never catch you alive
If you hide the silver spoon
x2

Trapped in a box
The box is my mind
Open the box
Let me run wild
But something in my mind tells me to stay
He wouldn't have it any other way
(and he said)

Chorus
Scream bloody murder
Howlin at the moon
They'll never catch you alive
If you hide the silver spoon
x2

On the island we lived
On the island we'd die
Some lost to sickness
Some to the night
Something in those woods ate them alive
I would not dare to venture in that night

about

The Electric Grub Sydney, Nova Scotia

It's the smell in the air, the taste in your mouth, and the chill down your spine. The menacing soundtrack to your own form of debauchery. Deeply rooted in the industrial wasteland of Sydney, NS, emerged from the tar ponds: The Electric Grub. This revolving door of musicians resembles a dysfunctional family circus that comes from the twisted imaginations of Travis Morrison and Chuck Knott. ... more
