lyrics
Mother oh mother, I just can't explain
Things all around me might drive me insane
Will you believe me? I know you will
Can you protect me? They're after me still.
Everywhere I go, I know that I'm not alone
Everything I see, is only for me.
Each and every night, I know they'll come into sight...
Mother oh mother I just have to ask
Why can I not be like all the rest?
They play so freely, they have no cares
And all the while, I have a secret to share..
They keep on callin’ me …
They keep on callin’ me Ghost Girl
They keep on callin’ me
They keep on followin’ me all around, wherever
I try to get away
The kids are callin’ me Ghost Girl
They keep on followin’ me and they will forever
Their bodies are underground
But their souls are hangin’ round
They got nowhere to go now
So they play with me
They know only I can see them
Nobody can believe what they cannot see themselves
They keep on callin’ me
They keep on callin’ me Ghost Girl
They keep on callin’ me
They keep on followin’ me all around wherever
I try to get away
The kids are callin’ me Ghost Girl
They keep on followin’ me when we’re not together
Mother, don’t leave me, I cannot be alone
I cannot recall when my life was just my own
These visions create incisions from an unknown source
Baffled and laughing, the doctors shake their heads
There’s no explanation, just accusations instead
But mother, she knows what to do
Sometimes she sees them too
But lately they haven’t seemed so harmless at all
Yes lately, lately they seem to claw at the walls
The dishes fly off of the shelves and shatter on the ground
The bookcase has been overturned, I cannot stand the sound
The TV flickers on and off and static fills the air
A foul stench that chokes your breath lingers everywhere
How's a girl to sleep at night with demons all around?
They encircle me and then my bed lifts off the ground
They suffocate me lacerate me across my naked flesh
They bite they scratch they burn and choke - Mother, what comes next?
They keep on callin’ me
They keep on callin’ me Ghost Girl
They keep on followin’ me all around wherever
I try to get away
The kids are callin’ me Ghost Girl
They keep on followin’ me and they will forever
Dying to share what I’ve seen, I open wide
My blood is the only hard evidence they find
The fame wasn’t able to slay or tame them
The talk shows didn’t lie
But mother is keeping her cool
Despite the torture at school
She must know that I’m going to make it out of this alive
She doesn’t mind ripping all of my wounds open wide
Mother oh mother, as years go by
I've learned to live with shadows at my side
I'll write you letters, I'll call every night
You don't have to worry, I'll be alright
I've been away now for a few years
They have not hurt me
Have I been cured?
But when I go home and mother is near
All my old visions haunt me anew
Mother oh mother, I'm starting to see
Who was behind what happened to me
What was a little girl meant to do, when
Mother the only demon was you
Fell in love with BBT recently, absolutely love the stories they tell and the music.
Very sad to hear about David’s passing, listening now is quite moving, moved to tears from time to time, but we move on as I hope BBT will with David in our hearts. tonyauroristony58
The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.

The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
