This version was performed live and edited by superfan Midvid as a tribute to the hardcore fans who came from far and wide for a fan's gathering in the Big Apple. It was remixed and reedited by JB February 2009. Enjoy! Leave a comment, thanks. Peace and stay out of the sunlight! JB

Lyrics by Helen Wheels Music by Joe Bouchard Published by Sony/ATV

Deep in the heart of Germany
Lucy clutched her breast in fear
She heard a beat of her lover's heart
For weeks she raved in dreams he appeared
From far off Transylvania

Only a woman can break his spell
Pure in heart who will offer herself
To Nosferatu

This ship pulled in without a sound
The faithful captain long since cold
He kept his log till the bloody end
Last entry read "Rats in the hold.
My crew is dead - I fear the plague"

Only a woman can break his spell
Pure in heart who will offer hefself

Mortal terror reigned
Sickness now then horrible death
Only Lucy knew the truth
And at her window
Nosferatu


So chaste, so calm, she gave herself
To the pleasure of the dreaded master
He sucked the precious drops of life
Throughout the long and cold dark night

One last goodbye, he was blinded by love
One last goodbye, he was blinded by love
Blinded by love

He screamed with fear, he'd stayed too long in her room
The morning sun had come too soon
The spell was broken with a kiss of doom
He vanished into dust, left her all alone

Only a woman can break his spell
Pure in heart, who will offer herself

Only a woman can break his spell
Pure in heart who will offer herself
To Nosferatu

I've loved this song for over 30 years. Nice work by Midvid - there can't be many bigger BOC fans than him and I mean that in a nice way. Joe, release an official DVD of the show. You know we'll buy it.

The imagery created by the merging of Helen (Wheels) Robbins lyrics with Joe Bouchards music is beyond anything hollywood could dream of....matter of fact, hollywoods been missing out all these years..just think of all the different BOC songs that could be used in film...yep..there amazing!

[RoeserFan2]

Everything about this is awesome. Superb version of a song that is beyond greatness. Bottle it up so the aliens can see and hear it in a couple thousand years.

This has got to be the best chorus of any rock song ever: "Only a woman can break his spell, pure in heart, who will offer herself to Nosferatu"....
