Jim Steel Hints of Harry Nilsson and Elton John can be detected, and there's even a dash of Nick Cave. Delightful. Favorite track: O Jessie J.

Salt Hill 03:00
Next time I will bury you on Salt Hill, and on Salt Hill you’ll stay I promise I will bury you on Salt Hill some dismal day They cried I must bury you on Salt Hill, on Salt Hill before evening falls But I wasn’t ready then for Salt Hill, no not at all Cold the nights and bitter the charms Of this lonely house Sigh of breath and the weight of your arms Are all that keep me from diving down Next time I will bury you on Salt Hill, and on Salt Hill you’ll stay Tomorrow I will bury you on Salt Hill. Just one more day

Well I noticed you almost as soon As I moved into this neighbourhood I could see that you were pretty cool Maybe too cool for your own good But every time I see you from the corner of my eye I think why, why not try? I don’t see you as much as I’d like to It’s like you’re always some other place I don’t want you to think that you’re dead to me It’s just that I can’t picture your face But every time I try to sleep you haunt my mind So I think why, why not try? Knock three times if you want to come over Knock three times if you want to come through Knock three times if you want to come over Knock three times if you want me to see you Well I get chills when I think about your body And I shiver when I imagine your touch And those who say it’s wrong can take it up with God He’s the one that made me want you so much But every timeI try to sleep you haunt my mind So in think why, why not try? Knock three times if you want to come over Knock three times if you want to come through Knock three times if you want to come over Knock three times if you want me to see you Oui, ja, oui, ja...

O Jessie J 04:39
These old walls stood for a century Before they were home to me and the one I love When I’ve got calls to make against surety I harken to history, and it settles me, it does O Jessie, O Jessie, O O Jessie, O Jessie J You know that I find some peace in my mind Knowing you’re paving the way What did you see from this window here? Where did the world veer since you made your plans? What do you think of this crazy town? I think I can tackle it now guided by your hand. O Jessie, O Jessie, O O Jessie, O Jessie J You know I don’t mind your footsteps behind Yesterday’s echoes today Years turn and the only thing certain is life is hard But these rooms have echoes of echoes of what’s gone before and I take heart O Jessie, O Jessie, O O Jessie, O Jessie J You know that I find some peace in my mind Knowing you’re paving the way O Jessie, O Jessie, O O Jessie, O Jessie J You know I don’t mind your footsteps behind Yesterday’s echoes today

Brother Jack 02:23
Brother Jack Are you sleeping Wake up and ring the bells Wake up and ring the bells Brother Jack Are you sleeping Someone must ring the bells Someone must ring the bells Brother Jack This is getting creepy Like an episode of Cadfael In here Brother Jack Are you breathing Who’s ringing all those bells? Who’s ringing all those bells?

Come on it’s time for the Spectre Inspector See how you measure up, fill this cup with ectoplasm please Stand in line for the Spectre Inspector Be the most ghost you can be Baby you’ve gone white as a sheet Just a short sharp shock That is all he needs to see You mustn’t mind the Spectre Inspector Or all the notes he takes, heaven’s sakes, this should come naturally Stand in line for the Spectre Inspector Be the most ghost you can be A little scaring, never hurt anyone, come on Be the most ghost you can be

Icy Daisy 03:36
In the summer, by the seaside When the sun beats down There’s one place that you can go to In this one-shop town To exorcise your sweating In the sweetest little setting around But If you’re heading to that parlour You should be aware For its old time charms they harbour Something of a scare Cos when you take a lick You’ll feel a cold and ghostly trickling back there I’m talking about Icy Daisy I’m talking about Icy Daisy She can deliver you the shivers In 37 flavours She’s the ice cream scream queen But she means you no real mischief With her parlour tricks It’s not easy when you’re a spectre To get your kicks And she’s been shackled to that chiller Since drowned in the vanilla in 1966 I’m talking about Icy Daisy I’m talking about Icy Daisy She can deliver you the shivers In 37 flavours She’s the ice cream scream queen I’m talking about Icy Daisy I’m talking about Icy Daisy She can deliver you the shivers In 37 flavours She’s the ice cream scream queen

This is you when you were a ghost These are the polaroids Where you are overexposed This is the tape of your voice This hiss and hum The white noise This is you when you were a ghost These are the hangers bare The rattling steel of bones This is the answerphone The cold words The dead air This is you now All heat and heart All laugh and love at last This is you now That is the past This is you when you were a ghost These are my memories These the eyes scratched out This is the knife of grief Edged with blood And disbelief This is you now All heat and heart All laugh and love at last This is you now That is the past

The Disappointed Skeptics Club meets every Thursday night for eternity The Disappointed Skeptics Club meets every Thursday night for eternity You say you don’t believe you say you can’t conceive That something lingers That’s your prerogative just be prepared to give Another think, there’s Always time to change your mind, until there’s not Until you’re standing at that door, ready to knock The Disappointed Skeptics Club meets every Thursday night for eternity In the backroom of your local pub wherever that happens to be You’ll have good company with Randi, Price and Houdini Among the ghoulish But listen everyone’s got their own tolerance For feeling foolish This is one vice that Erik Weisz will not escape But reach out to the ouija and something might take shape The Disappointed Skeptics Club meets every Thursday night for eternity A host of disaffected ghosts, in ironic purgatory Yeah, they sing la la la Oh, they sing la la la The sherry’s sharp, the beer is flat Acknowledged only by the cat But there is a way of getting out All you need to do is shout I believe you, until someone hears you La la la... And Arthur Conan Doyle’s laughing up his sleeve And Doris Stokes is flicking you the V’s And it might take eternity But I’ll believe, I’ll believe, I’ll believe
