about

A vampire tale set in the dingy back streets of a harbour town (with chords! too!)

lyrics

C7 B7
Sit tight my love
Em B7 Em
I won't bite
C7 B7 Em
It's a cold night out there
C7 B7
Have a drink my dear
Em B7 Em
for you've nothing to fear
C7 B7 Em
it will all come clear if you dare
F#7 B7
taste the dark surprise
Em B7 Em
lurking in these eyes
F#7 B7 Em
I'm afraid it's just the way that I appear
G A
If you'd like to know
Em B7 Em
what goes on below
C F#7 B7
then you'll find what you've been looking for right here

Take a step this way
down this alley-way
by the light of day
you'll be gone
and I do believe
just the tramps and thieves
will be there to grieve
when you're gone
for they know full well
you'll go straight to hell
and the casket that you travel in is rotten
by the harbour lights
just around midnight
you'll go overboard and straight down to the bottom

break

behind the inn
where the soldiers sin
is a street lit by one dirty little light
if you go there late you can meet your fate
in the shadows in the middle of the night

and the vampires know
in the streets red glow
you can see the neck an awful lot more clearly
so I’ll wait till night
before I take a bite
of her I love most dearly

about

Fergus McKay and Nothing Concrete Toulouse, France

In the shadows of the Pyrenees in Southern France, resides a collective which has purposefully chosen this remote locale from which to strike out in all directions with their extraordinary music.

An acoustic-led combination of folk, swing jazz and a bluesy country cabaret polka which is quite unlike anything else, embracing the ancient art of storytelling through song.
