The Aliens Are Coming - DMF Sessions 1990

from THE ALIENS ARE COMING (single) by The Crabs

/

about

From The Crabs first ever recording session in November 1990 Recorded at the Darnall Music Factory, Sheffield.

Although delivered with a tongue-in cheek humour, the meaning of this track is deliberately ambiguous. It can be taken either as just a straightforward Sci/Fi Horror tale, as a peek into the psyche of someone slowly descending paranoia & madness, or as a euphemism for moral panic. The song seems to remain constantly fresh as people find new ways to interpret it.

lyrics

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!
