Track 4 from the Sasquatch Sessions EP. From recording sessions with the second line-up of The Gavin Burgess Band circa 1997.

lyrics

I'm always running
I'm always hiding
But Melody finds me again
Of all her victims she loves me most
'cos Melody is my ghost
She is my past alive in my future
Melody please let me go

This is no normal spiritual haunting
Melody lives in my head
She's getting' older
She's getting wiser
Won't rest until I'm dead
And in the night she sinks her claws deeper
Melody, Melody, no

She got the key
She got just what it takes to play games in my head
She play me pictures of my mistakes
One by one in my head
I'm going down for the very last time under her vicious tread
She always dodges every plan that I lay
To leave Melody dead
Melody dead, Melody's dead
Of course, I said 'Aha', cos she's my ghost

She is the face of all my old lovers
Merged into one dreadful mask
She is the knife of a thousand betrayals
Dripping with blood from its shaft
She is the tears on the face of a baby
Melody, Melody, no

I'm gonna leave her here in a bottle
Lured with a candle and ring
I'm gonna walk on into the future
Free of her venomous sting
This exorcism is the final solution
Melody, Melody, go

She got the key
She got just what it takes to play games in my head
She play me pictures of my mistakes
One by one in my head
I'm going down for the very last time under her vicious tread
She always dodges every plan that I lay
To leave Melody dead
Melody dead, Melody's dead
Of course, I said 'Aha', cos she's my ghost
