about

Ghosts should be a great comfort to the living
made with cold steam synthesizers.

lyrics

So, the permafrost of purgatory is not cool enough for him
He'd swap dialling out for pizza for the death has cheated
He craved an office romance with that girl from accounts
All gone but he moans too much for a ghost in his position
He lingers too long for a ghostly apparition
He's not settling in
Death's not brought out the best in him

Just one bedroom in your haunted house
And the tenants are rather plain
He's not exactly thrilled with the spines he has chilled
They'd rather mow their lawn than watch him change his form
It's too bad but he moans too much for a ghost in his position
He lingers too long for a ghostly apparition
He's not settling in
Death's not brought out the best in him

He wanted to be the colour of cold steam whatever that is
And he pictured a mansion with flock paper
Yeah, and a maid whose top he could look down every day
His is a spiritual vision

Yeah an eternity of rattling cellar doors
Well I guess the time could begin to drag
But to live in organ pipes and make science rub its eyes
He don't like the clothes he died in
He said they make him look thin
It's too grim but he moans too much for a ghost in his position
He lingers too long for a ghostly apparition
He's not settling in
Death's not brought out the best in him
Ghosts moan too much
Ghosts linger too long
Ghosts moan too much

The Anglo-Japanese band Santa Sprees have been advancing the art of unpopular song since 1994. Making questionable progress from the low-skilled, no-fidelity, no wave of their earliest cassettes to the largely futile primitive avant bubblegum of today, releasing ten collections to date on a trail of defunct labels and media. ... more
