Flight of Fancy: Vampire music

Reg the vampire
was kind to invite
Me to attend his musical night
At his lair down on Bridge Lane
It’s really a bungalow. Come again?
A one floor house with a wrought iron gate
That creaked quite badly for it’s new state.
Once in the garden and on the lawn
I was first met by his pet cat, Shawn
Well, one of them, for he has two,
Then I met some guests at the ‘do’;
A woman, who looked like Dracula’s bride
Whose hair was tall as it was wide
With a white streak up the front
And eyes that were, well, just vacant;
A man with a cloak too big for him
But only because he was very slim;
A man so tall he looked like Lurch
From some old show, you’ll have to search
On the web to find it’s name –
Addams or Munster they were quite the same.
This group did look quite surreal
But although odd, they did not feel
Threatening, or anything bad,
And, I must admit that I felt glad,
That at this night of music and fun
We’d got to meet before the night begun.

The first song performed was one I admire,
Annie Lennox, and ‘Love Song For A Vampire’
Followed quickly with ‘Closer’ by Kings of Leon,
Then ‘Blood Roses’ by Tori Amos – A new one
On me that I’ve never heard before
And then came ‘Lullaby’ by The Cure.
Sting performed next with his great treat,
Called, I think, ’Moon Over Bourbon Street’.
Nocturnal Rites sung ‘In A Time Of Blood And Fire’
This reminded me of the theme of Buffy, The Slayer,
Which I thought it best to keep this quiet,
After all, it was honorary vampire night
Next to sing was Neil Young
With his ‘Vampire Blues’ song
And then a song that I think’s really gracious,
’Bleeding Love’, by Leona Lewis.
Voltaire then performed ‘The Vampire Club’
And that was it, time for the grub!
And just to finish off a fantastic bash
We were treated to Bobby Pickett’s ‘Monster Mash’!
