Fall Spectre Vs. Rector (live At Acklam Hall Version)
M.R. James, be born, be born Yog Sogoth. Rape me Lord.* I've suffered a great wrong Such hatred, Church's song Part One: Spectre v. Rector The Rector lived in Hampshire The Spectre was not focussed on the evil dust in the air. The Rector locked his doors An Inspector drives through Hampshire Has to sleep because of the fog And thinks of his new director. Meanwhile the Spectre possesses Rector Spectre blows him against the wall Says " this is your face. I've waited all season for this You're flaccid, my hate is crisp I'll wreck your hot body to pieces." [chorus] Enter Inspector You have Inspector versus Rector possessed by Spectre He was spoken, this devil, rose and shrunken The Inspector is half insane. [chorus] Onto the scene comes a Hero Soul possessed a thousand times Only he could save the Rector Only he could save the Inspector This hero was a strange fellow "Those flowers, take them away," he said. "They're only funeral decorations. And O this is a tragic nation A nation of no imagination. A stupid dead man is their ideal They shook me and they think me unclean." I wash all day and still it's unclean I have saved a thousand souls You can only save your own It's like I drunk myself sober I get better as I get older [chorus] The hero The Spectre enters the Hero but the possession is ineffectual. So exit a spectre. Inspector and hero walk on the scene Is the Spectre vanished forever? Is Spectre banished forever? The Spectre has exit the scene but the Inspector is half insane. Serves him right for choosing such a crap career. And the hero goes back into the mountains He was an exorcist But he was exhausted. [ M.R. James was a 19th Century ghost story writer.
