lyrics

Wow! You Keep saying you've got something for me It's something strange and weird you must confess Something that just isn't quite normal - no! And now my body is a bloody mess Those boots are made for walking and though I try to flee You put those boots on every night and walk all over me Well, the very first time that I looked at another girl You took a walk that made my body burn And every time that I've looked since then You say "Dear boy, don't you never, ever learn? These boots are made for walkin' and that's just what they'll do Tonight's the night the night these boots are gonna walk all over you" ah, ahh, ahh, ahhgg, ahhhhhggg! Solo Though at first I was quite outraged The experience has slowly grown on me To be trampled on by 6" spiked heeled thigh boots I can't complain 'cos it's so plain to see Those boots are made for walking' and now I won't try to flee 'Cos I really like it when you walk all over me Mmmm! I like it! Are you ready boots? Start walkin' Do the quick step baby, mmm! that's real fine! Faster honey, up and down my spine! Let's do the twist like we did last summer Aw! forget the carpet slippers, that was a real bummer! Now let's try it with the spurs on!

Funny Voices in my head Scraping sounds under the bed Mothers' eyes are turning red Pool of blood - Daddy's dead Look Out! (Look Out!) x3 The aliens are coming Try to run, must escape Can't get out, it's too late Baby's face is full of hate Resign myself to my fate Look Out! (Look Out!) x3 The aliens are coming (Repeat) Oh no, no, no, no, no What are we going to do now (Repeat) They'll get you and suck your brain White heat agonising pain Driving everyone insane Watch out, here they come again! Look Out! (Look Out!) x3 The aliens are coming Oh no, no, no, no, no What are we going to do now (Repeat) Look Out! (Look Out!) x3 The aliens are coming (Repeat) Here they come! I can see them! (Whisper) Getting closer! It is the end!

about

This last ever gig channels The Ramones, Motörhead, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Soft Cell and Nancy Sinatra blending them into The Crabs own unique musical cocktail.

Despite Captain Crab's Guitar imploding during the soundcheck and the band having to play the gig with only one guitar - they manage to deliver a thumping, powerful set for this - their last ever live performance.

As with volume #1 this album follows in the tradition of The Mummies & early Cramps bootlegged gigs & is a real live experience - the music on this album is completely live & raw - No Overdubs & features Lo-Fi Bootleg quality live recordings documenting their final gig before they split for good.

The songs were recorded on a hand held 1990's consumer video camera by a friend of the bands, and the source of these recordings was the soundtrack to that video. Using a combination of Alien Technology and Voodoo Magic, STEREO tracks were produced from the mono source. The tracks have also been extensively cleaned up during remastering, bringing to life the mayhem, mischief and machinations of The Crabs live experience.


"Always tell the truth, but live so improbable a life that the truth will never be believed."
"Every man and every woman is a star"
Aleister Crowley
