Hammer Horror Lyrics
You stood in the Belltower,
But now you're gone.
So who knows all the sights
Of Natre Dame?
They've got the stars for the gallant hearts,
I'm the replacement for your part,
But all I want to do is forget you friend.
CHORUS
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave me alone.
The first time in my life,
I keep the lights on,
To ease my soul.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it alone,
I don't know-
Is this the right thing to do?
Rehearsing in your things,
I feel guilty.
And retracing all the scenes,
Of your big hit,
Oh God, you needed the leading role,
It wasn't me who made you go, though,
Now all I want to do is forget you, friend.
CHORUS
Who calls me from the other side.
Of the street?
And who taps me on the shoulder?
I turn around, but you're gone.
I've got a hunch that you're following,
To get your own back on me
So all I want to do is forget you friend.
CHORUS
But now you're gone.
So who knows all the sights
Of Natre Dame?
I'm the replacement for your part,
But all I want to do is forget you friend.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave me alone.
The first time in my life,
I keep the lights on,
To ease my soul.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it alone,
I don't know-
Is this the right thing to do?
I feel guilty.
And retracing all the scenes,
Of your big hit,
It wasn't me who made you go, though,
Now all I want to do is forget you, friend.
Of the street?
And who taps me on the shoulder?
I turn around, but you're gone.
I've got a hunch that you're following,
To get your own back on me
So all I want to do is forget you friend.

It's actually an actor expressing his fears after he takes the lead role in a production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame from a friend who has died. He feels this way, as the guy who died had really wanted the part yet it was taken away from him, therefore he haunts the new actor.
'It wasn't me who made you go, though, Now all I want to do is forget you, friend.'
While he feels a slight sense of guilt, he knows he isn't to blame.

There's a better summary there. Aside from that, it's a great song and I love the video!
It seems reasonable to say this is a love song to Hammer Films?
This song is so frigging weird, heh heh.
Isn't it about a girl thinking about her boyfriend's previous girlfriend?
"I'm the replacement for your part, But all I want to do is forget you friend."
"Oh God, you needed the leading role, It wasn't me who made you go, though, Now all I want to do is forget you, friend."
totally about the ex-g/f...been there, felt this...
Thinking about this song's lyrics I was struck by the genius of one line:
"I've got a hunch that you're following"
I think this whole song was constructed in order to deliver thus one line ... sort of constructing a joke by starting at the punchline.
The whole song is a joke ... but brilliant!!
