@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
On a bus stop bench sat an ancient lady
It was clear she was dead yeah we all could agree
And that death had arrived quite unexpectedly
Cause the poor wretch died with a book on her knee
Chrissy kiss the corpse
Chrissy kiss the corpse
David drew a mustache under her nose
Nick put a burning match between her toes
I put a cockroach in her pantyhose
Chrissy put on some lipstick
And struck a dramatic pose
Chrissy kiss the corpse
Chrissy kiss the corpse
Chrissy's such a pretty lass
As benign as broken glass
No one in her family knows
The vile hobby that she chose
Some cops came by so we hid behind a tree
I peeked out and they noticed me
And said fondling the dead is a felony
But you got nothing to fear
'cause we only came to see
Chrissy kiss the corpse
To see Chrissy kiss the corpse
Chrissy's such a pretty thing
Gentle as a scorpion sting
No one ever would suspect
That her mind's completely wrecked
It was clear she was dead yeah we all could agree
And that death had arrived quite unexpectedly
Cause the poor wretch died with a book on her knee
Chrissy kiss the corpse
Chrissy kiss the corpse
David drew a mustache under her nose
Nick put a burning match between her toes
I put a cockroach in her pantyhose
Chrissy put on some lipstick
And struck a dramatic pose
Chrissy kiss the corpse
Chrissy kiss the corpse
Chrissy's such a pretty lass
As benign as broken glass
No one in her family knows
The vile hobby that she chose
Some cops came by so we hid behind a tree
I peeked out and they noticed me
And said fondling the dead is a felony
But you got nothing to fear
'cause we only came to see
Chrissy kiss the corpse
To see Chrissy kiss the corpse
Chrissy's such a pretty thing
Gentle as a scorpion sting
No one ever would suspect
That her mind's completely wrecked

Necro, no, I get the vibe that is it episodic, something of a storytelling. If it was one of many adventures, why can it not just be about one of those interesting evenings, to be enjoyed and humored by. Either way, its very fun, though a slightly gross. great
Best song about necrophilia ever.
Indeed. Such a silly and sick song.
I agree. It's so fun.
this song is so weird. but you are kind of drawn to it...i agree it is the best song about necrophilia. actually, i don't think i've heard any others...
My name is Chrissy. On their website they list it as "Chrissy" and not "Chrissie" which makes me happy.
Kevin said that this song is about what happens if you experiement with chrystal meth. However, in an interview he said that this song came about when he imagined his sister at her son's funeral, trying to kiss the corpse.
only of monreal could write a happy song about a mother at a son's funeral
WEIRD! but awesome!
lepidptera3, that's interesting, because when I saw them last year, Kevin talked about the song before playing it; he explained it as when he was a bored teenager, his parents/friends' parents didn't really get involved with them, and never checked their liquor cabinet...leading them to steal it and have random drunken adventures around town, this one being one of them.
