En värdig avslutning på Skräckveckan

Vad passar bättre att avsluta Skräckveckan än med Ramones - "Pet Sematary" från Stephen King´s film med samma namn. Första gången jag hörde låten var på 55:an på St:Eriksplan. Alla i personalen (tre stycken) stod bakom disken och sjöng med i refrängen. När sedan tunnelbanevagnarna affischerades med en snygg filmaffisch (nedan) i hårdpapp var jag inte sen att plocka med mig en som sedan prydde vardagsrummet i ett halvår. Boken var bra, filmen helt ok men inget slog låten som än idag håller mycket hög klass.

Under the arc of a weather stain boards,
Ancient goblins, and warlords,
Come out of the ground, not making a sound,
The smell of death is all around,
And the night when the cold wind blows, No one cares, nobody knows.

I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
I don't want to live my life again.
I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
I don't want to live my life again.

Follow Victor to the sacred place,
This ain't a dream, I can't escape,
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones,
Spirits moaning among the tombstones,
And the night, when the moon is bright,
Someone cries, something ain't right.

CHORUS

The moon is full, the air is still,
All of a sudden I feel a chill,
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away,
Skeletons dancee, I curse this day,
And the night when the wolves cry out,
Listen close and you can hear me shout.

I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
I don't want to live my life again.
I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
I don't want to live my life again, oh no, oh no
I don't want to live my life again, oh no, oh oh,
I don't want to live my life again, oh no no no
I don't want to live my life again, oh oh
