about

Inspired by Thirteen Chairs, by Dave Shelton.

lyrics

In, stepping further in, welcomed by the light
Seeing the others around
Will I make a sound? Will I know the way?
What is it I’ve found?
Listen to the ones, listen to the end
Blowing a candle out
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
I’m unprepared to tell a story, who’ll go next?
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
Thirteen Chairs
Gone, faces fade to black. I can hardly see,
Where there used to be friends
Some could be my age
Want to know their way?
What is it that I’ve found?
Listen to a boy, listen to a girl
Another candle out
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
I’m unprepared to tell a story, who’ll go next?
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
Thirteen Chairs
Out, as the lights go out,
As the darkness comes
It’s getting closer to me
Will I make a sound? Will I know the way?
Starting to see what I’ve found
Listen to the tales, listen to my tale
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
I’m unprepared to tell a story, who’ll go next?
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
Thirteen Chairs
Will I make a sound, will I know the way?
What is it that I’ve found?
Listen to the ones, listen to the end
Blowing a candle out
Beth Porter - vocals, concert ukulele. Ben Please - baritone ukulele, vocals. Poppy Pitt - vocals, glockenspiel. Dave Shelton - concert ukulele. Pete Gibbs - double bass.
8. RUNNING WITH ZOMBIES
Inspired by The Making Of Zombie Wars, by Aleksander Hemon.
Students for every word
Watch out, this one’s a verb
Well, you have to humour fate, and
Help her to conjugate
Leaning right down into her bed
Waving your sword around your head
We ought to be a little careful
Though I will never be
A man of great mystery
I’ve many stories
Lets run with the zombies
Launch the assault and my friend has bled
Though I intend not to loose my head
When you’re surrounded by undead
We ought to be a little careful
Caught me in the end
