Fearless Vampire Killers (Band) - Lyrics! Quiz

Answer: Bite Down on my Winchester

'There was a boy I can recall,
Fresh faced a sweet of soul,
Never wanted anymore,
Than to love and be loved...'

From 'Bite Down on my Winchester', 'Militia of the Lost'. This song follows the life of a young boy who is desperate for revenge. This is what the song is based around - revenge, which we deduce from the fact that the chorus starts with;
'Run, boys, as fast as you can,
I'm coming for you,
And I won't go easy'.

Answer: The Mechanist: Handlung (Stargazer)

'Walking the track,
The one I won't walk back,
I'm gonna race it down the river where I find my shovel'

'Handlung (Stargazer)', 'Exposition: The Five Before the Flames'.

Written by Shane Sumner (aka Barrone) of FVK. Shane plays the guitar for Fearless Vampire Killers. Despite his real name being Shane Sumner, he has a stage name, which is Cyrus Barrone (though he's generally known as just 'Barrone'). He is the only one in the band to change his name, and makes up one part of the 'Timids' (ship) along with Drew (of FVK).

Answer: Could We Burn, Darling?

'In the center of the town, the sky,
Seems starless,
All we can do is climb,
And I'll wake,
In the mortuary,
With a taste, for those,
Ketamine queens'

'Could We Burn, Darling?', 'Militia of the Lost'. This album has a different kind of format - when you buy it, it's not in the common 'case', but is a small book, the first pages being the lyrics to the songs (illustrated by Barrone) and in the back, in a pouch, is the CD itself.

Answer: Bow Ties on Dead Guys

'I might not be your saint,
But if you're looking for a freak,
To light an effigy outside your gates, well,
I guess I could be the weirdo of the week'

'Bow Ties on Dead Guys', 'Militia of the Lost'. This song's video was filmed in a large hall set to look like a mansion. FVK funded and made their own videos.

Answer: The Pilot: P Train

'For years I was told that I was worth no more than,
Engine oil on my betters' boots,
But I bore it all, their words laced with venomous,
Envy steaming like opium in a junkie's pipe'

'The Pilot: P Train', 'Exposition: The Five Before The Flames'

Written by Luke Illingworth of FVK. Luke Illingworth is the drummer for the band, replacing the old one, who coincidentally was also called Luke.

Answer: Fetish for the Finite

'At the window, skinless hands tap glass,
I'm handed a spade and I dig through the carpet my grave,
Will you do it for me?
Or must I by myself'

'Fetish for the Finite', 'Militia of the Lost'

Written by Laurence Beveridge of FVK. Laurence Beveridge completes one half of a 'ship', just like Shane and Drew create the 'Timids'. Laurence and Kier together make 'Keveridge'.

Sipping on some wine
The Cardinal, I'm told,
Is what they call a vampire'

'You know where I'm waiting,
I'm game if you're playing,
We can settle all our dues with rusty knives,
Play out this twisted tail with guts and fire'

'Mascara Tears and Vanilla Spice', 'Militia of the Lost'. This song is disputed for some of the content (namely necrophilia references) yet still is one of their greatest songs.

Answer: Concede, Repent, Destroy

'Just one taste a night,
Is never enough to appease me,
Cos I'm losing the fight,
Oh honey you know it ain't easy'
