| Som nevnt skrev Asbjørn Krogtoft "Graveyard Paradise" allerede som 18 åring i 1966. Han hadde vært på kino og sett en Dracula-film med Christopher Lee, og på vei hjem fikk han idéen til denne låten Opprinnelig hadde melodien 4 vers, men da den ble spilt inn på plate sensommeren 1967 ble det 4 verset kuttet ut (egentlig var det tredje vers på låten). Bakgrunnslåten på denne sida (som du formodentlig hører) er "det ukjente verset" som ble utelatt, og stammer fra et radioopptak fra 1966. | Asbjørn Krogtoft had been to the movies and watched a Dracula-film with Christopher Lee. On his way back home he got the idea to "Graveyard Paradise". The first version had four verses, but the final version only have three verses. You are now (probably) listening to "The unknown fourth verse" (actually the third verse) from a radiorecording from 1966. |
Graveyard Paradise |
| Asbjørn Krogtoft - 1966 |
| The pale
white-collared gentlemen, they're coming side by side The holy court of justice, to a meeting in the night They do not talk they do not smile they think and that's enough They will not make their judgement till the moon rises off above And of a thousand soldier boys At last they've made their choice Another victim soon arrives at Graveyard Paradise And there's a smiling little girl, whose dinner was a snail It's hard for her to walk, she's got her brother in a pail Her father's lying in the mud, her mother's been murdered too Her bloody eyes can't even see, and she don't know what to do But the pale white-collared guys Those desperate vampires They're watching her with bloodshot eyes from Graveyard Paradise Yes, everything is black and cold in Graveyard Paradise And when somebody is talking there is it just to tell you lies Those pale white-collared gentlemen, yes I saw them as they stood Outside the Graveyard gates, they would be laughing if they could And when somebody dies When the moon rise in the skies They're watching you with bloodshot eyes from Graveyard Paradise |
