This is a camcorder recording of Brighton intergalactic popband Spalien Acecraft doing their song about death, "Lady on the Hill". It was filmed in April 2010, at Spalien Acecraft's Pre-Fringe Sneaky Peak Binge.
On stage: Johnny Acecraft (vocals and guitar), The Elbot (backing vocals), Nathanova (keyboard), Beckisphere (percussion), Johnny Others (guitar)
Words:
There's a house on a hill with a cactus on the windowsill
There's a lady dressed in black with a knife stuck in her back
She struggles to catch her breath, terrified of her impending death
The telephone's out of reach, and anyway she's lost the power of speech
She's the lady on the hill
With a cactus on her windowsill
There's a cat on the roof with a look that's distant and aloof
She's got kittens indoors, ten tiny new sets of paws
They're healthy and they're strong, but suddenly it's all gone wrong
Because with no-one to make sure they're fed pretty soon they'll all be dead
Just like the lady on the hill
With a cactus on her windowsill
There's a fish in the tank that'll pretty soon fill up with mank
The plants will perish in the garden because the weeds will intensify and harden
The baby in the cot will fester decay and rot
Even the spider on the shelf will eventually have to eat itself
In fact the only thing with survival skill
Is the cactus on the windowsill
Lyrics by J. Hinton
