The Wake - Pale Spectre(Audio)

2nd song from the 1987 EP 'Something that no one else could bring'(Fac 178). Vocals by Carolyn Allen.

Lyrics(courtesy of Caesar himself):

A shuddering vision appeared one day at the door of my house
Pale spectre and shadow, as if the nose was a hole in the sky
A shivering figure once dragged from the sea like a loathsome head
Undressing before me, then tearing its flesh with demented glee
Sha la la la la x 2
Crept into the hallway, already at home on the carpet and walls
Unpacking a suitcase, pale spectre in spare room and under my feet
Now Jove he was half asleep for several hours that afternoon
This unwanted creature crawled into a corner crying "Where is the moon?"
Sha la la la la x 2
Pale spectre and shadow cried "Where is the moon tonight? It is like an enormous light.'
And I replied
Heaven'll help you out visitant, Heaven'll help you out x 2
Pale spectre and shadow said "Your tale is not quite right. It is just an outrageous lie."
And I can't deny
Pale spectre and shadow cried "Where is the moon tonight? It is like an enormous light."
And I replied
I said sha la la la la

@williamsterben The real Wake? Sure. Keep listening to what sounds like old men straining on the toilet, amplified.
