lyrics

See the stars stud the sky like a giant emerald pie –
Hear the corn, hug the fields, as it whimpers through the night –
Mr Spun, wheres your gun, to the cellar you must run –
Mr Spun, Mr Spun, he is hiding in the cellar –
With your wine, with your rum, drinking – fun fun fun fun fun! –
Open kegs, liquid legs – he will hang them up like like pegs! –
Mr Spun, Mr Spun, to the cellar you must run –
Mr Spun, grab your gun – go and CRU-CIF-Y THE HUN!!! (Bright Flashes)

(‘Chorus’)

See the toe-nail moon, beaming down like torchlight spoons –
Hear the owls, make their sounds – looking down like feather hounds –
Hear the gate, swing and brake, hear him hissing like a snake –
Mr Spun, here he comes, shouting thunder through his thumbs –
Curse the wine, curse the rum, for your knees are jelly plumbs –

Mr Spun, here he comes – SHOUTING THUNDER THROUGH HIS THUMBS!!! (Bright Flashes)

(‘Chorus’)

See the clouds, float like dreams, in the night like bubble beads –
Hear the trees, twist and scream, in the night train whistle steam –
Mr Spun, hand drop gun, into night time he did run –
Took one look, shiver shook, running round like headless chook –
Hear him shout, hear him shout, in the night like dying cow –
Mr Spun, hand drop gun – into night time he did RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN!!!!
