lyrics

I rode out of town
In a carriage and a coffin
Another love lost
This happens too often

See I am a man
Of particular taste
My love at alter
Tore me from grace

Til death due us part
Yeah that's what she said
When these words bestowed me
I pictured her dead

Many will come
And many will go
They come with the gypsies
And leave with the snow

chorus

Don't lie with strangers
Don't bury knives in their backs
Keep right and sleep tight
Just try to relax

The first was Malinda
And the second Francine
Most recent Broomhilda
Ah she was a scream

They cried out at night
Oh they cried out at day
I couldn't bare to....
To see them this way

I stepped out of the woodshed
And into the rain
Holding the answer
To seize them their pain

I enter the house
And come in from the night
Head down to the cellar
To kiss them goodnight

chorus

Don't lie with strangers
Don't bury knives in their backs
Those with have left us
Unpeacefully passed
Don't lie with strangers
Don't bury knives in their backs
Keep right and sleep tight
Just try to relax

A murder by death
For a most heinous crime
Sentenced to hang
I was sentenced to die

My body now still
As i swing from the line
Still my soul lingers
Still my soul thrives

chorus

Don't lie with strangers
Don't bury knives in their backs
Those who have left us
Unpeacefully passed
Don't lie with strangers
Don't bury knives in their backs
Keep right and sleep tight
Ah just try to relax

I rode into to town
In a carriage and a coffin
Another love lost
This happens too often

about

The Electric Grub image

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
