The Fall - THE APHID lyrics

And who can ever forget this one?

Six times [...]

Six, four

Form [...] the and six

Form a boxline

The aphid

The aphid

Bend down

Scratch around the carpet for insect

Get hook clamp

Stand up

Gel frame

Put insect in a jar

The aphid

Walk back two, three and four

Stop for a rest

Go back to scratch

The aphid

Hook clamp

Go back down

Scratch around the floor

Take hook clamp and put in jar

The aphid

Cover up with gel frame

Take two times four o o o one

UV gun back

Go back to the floor

Scratch around

Five, six supplied

The aphid

Then right back

Form a boxline, sidecar

The aphid

Twenty times steps back

[...]

Get hook clamp

Turn to barn door

Retrieve kill frame

(Absolutely wonderful)

[Spoken, (not MES)]:

"Take six [...] and six back, stand up straight, then bend down and

scratch the carpet for insects and, if you find any, put the insects

into the jar, than

check the clamp on the jar and take six steps back. Ensure the hook

clamp is on the jar and that's the aphid."

[ The insect theme is common with the Fall. Other songs with insect

references are Bug Day, Mollusc in Tyrol and Squid Law.]
