The Lime Spiders - Slave Girl

"Slave Girl" by The Lime Spiders, from the single EP Slave Girl b/w Beyond The Fringe (1984).

Lyrics:

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I drag her around wherever I go
This little woman drives me insane
She's tied to my ankle with a ball and chain

For sixteen years she's been hangin' around
Try'n' to bury me in a hole in the ground
Well I think it's time that I even the score
There's only room for one in this cage of yours

Don't save me when I'm startin' to drown
Don't use me when you don't want me around
Just be my slave girl 'cause that's all I need
So take a little step back to the stone age with me. Go!

Well I hear a strange noise as I lie in my bed
I feel a lotta water drippin' on my head
I look around tried to see through my hair
You left me alone, but do you think I care?

'Cause you moved me when I was takin' my time
You abused me when I was outta line
You tried to warn me of the danger sign
So watch out, go

Well, you got me in the bondage of another age
You drive me to distraction in a primitive way
I can't control my instincts when I hear her say
"Just come around and see me if you lose your way"

So join my chain gang, play along with me
I'll be your caveman, it's basic as can be
I'm not insane, man, I'm just outta my dream

An excellent and highly respectable achievement.

Did some asshat really mention the goo goo dolls?

[B.F. Mowat]

The Goo Goo Dolls = Buffalo bar band. Lime Spiders = Aussie rock gods. And I lived within 90 minutes of the US border. Eat it chumps!

Still have this single. Was weird how the Spiders and otherl Oz alternative bands like Died Pretty and Exploding White Mice were next to unknown here at home...but could tour Europe to enthusiastic crowds for months. Remember Mick Blood saying in an interview at the time that he was once mobbed by fans in Greece.
