"Quiz" they cried at the pub in Costesse

Origin & Inspiration

23 Aug 2012

This pastiché of the Fields Of The Nephilim's track Slowkill was based on an experience at The Cherry Tree doing the pop quiz. A very slow pop quiz. So slow, we wanted to kill ourselves. So, Slowkill became a melancholic dirge at having to suffer the seemingly neverending quiz

"Quiz" they cried at the pub in Costessey

So long, since last time

Sit here in the pub at nigh

Forsaken by Curtii

Slow, Slow, Slow

Plead for speed!

Sat here in the pub all night

t'go home would be so nice

Pace o' this Quizzery Such a mistake

Slapping my face t'keep me awake

So slow, so slow

f-f-f-fuckin' slow!

Sip our beers, bored to tears

Should start at 8

Starts at 9

Sat here I can hear the cries

Of fat birds, oversized

Sitting here I'm just wanting to die

Ancient tunes plague me hour after hour

Sitting here in a quiz so dire

All I hear: Why'm I here?

Poor old Xymoni with both o'the Drakes

Speed of this quiz won't keep us awake

So slow, so slow

f-f-f-fuckin' slow!

Slow

Don't go

Don't go, please don't

Don't go

Don't go...aaaarrrggh!

So slow, so slow, f-f-f-fuckin' slow!

Bury my face into my hands

Weep...
