The Meteors

The Meteors are an English psychobilly band formed in 1980. Originally from London, England, they are often credited with giving the psychobilly subgenre—which fuses punk rock with rockabilly—its distinctive sound and style. Though the origins of psychobilly are debated, The Meteors are the first band to self-identify as psychobilly, and are often credited with the distinction of being the only "pure" psychobilly band among fans of the subgenre. more »

[Chorus]
Slow down you grave robbing bastard
Stop right there I hear the constable scream
Slow down you grave robbing bastard
If they think they're gonna catch me
They're all in a dream

Digging in the graveyard, late at night,
I need to boil up the bones
A crowd of locals heading my way
Why can't they leave me alone
(They're all shouting at me)

I need to make me a shilling
I sell my wares to the doctors in town

No time to act tough
Coppers running fast
But the long arm of the law ain't long enough
(So he's shouting at me)

[Chorus]

Solo
Dead is dead, but coin is coin,
And now its pissing down with rain
I don't know what all the fuss is about,
You don't hear the corpses complain

[Chorus]

Slow down you grave robbing bastard
Stop right there I hear the constable scream
Slow down you grave robbing bastard
