    "The CD track-list was unfathomable since some tracks could only be accessed via the previous one, or were even split in two and scattered. Artificial crackles were added in places to make it sound like a badly worn vinyl record. Outlandish interludes - a premature burial, an apocalyptic news bulletin from a station identified as ‘K.I.L.L Radio’, a recital from a book of Voodoo – leapt out inexplicably. All served to plunge the already volatile horror-tinged chaos into a mentally unhinged spiral. With no pretentions to any rationality the sleeve notes were as deranged as the audio captured within, and in stark contrast to their cartooning contemporaries the front cover graphically redefined ‘Psychobilly’ fans’ trademark flat top hairstyle as a fatal head injury. What can truly be said about ‘The Last Train To Purgatory’ is that everything about it was off the rails".

lyrics

Many many many years ago, perhaps 'fore you were born
Dead and laid away with no delay when my heartbeat was gone
But I was a man and men have souls, men go down in six foot holes the Lord of The Dead has that in his collection.

The sun shines black, inhabiting dreams, I'm left with skin and bones
Everything seems so much better now, everybody leaves me alone
I heard my loved ones as they cried and lowered my box on the day that I died
If I could laugh I'd laugh at my tombstone.

Who's been sleeping in my grave?
Who's been sleeping in my grave?
Who's been sleeping in my grave?
They won't find my soul to save.

Keep the salt well away from me and don't send me along
I'm just a shell no Heaven or Hell for me to settle on
Knew all along that I'd be back, I ain't no hypochondriac
Hope of recovery is a long time gone

Who's been sleeping in my grave?
Who's been sleeping in my grave?
Who's been sleeping in my grave?
They won't find my soul to save.

All those many many years ago, perhaps 'fore you were born
Died and laid away without delay when my heartbeat was gone
But I was a man and men have souls, men go down in six foot holes the Lord of The Dead has that in his collection.

The sun shines black, inhabiting dreams, I'm left with skin and bones
Everything seems so much better now, everybody leaves me alone
I heard my loved ones as they cried and lowered my box on the day that I died
If I could laugh I'd laugh at my tombstone.

Who's been sleeping in my grave?
Who's been sleeping in my grave?
Who's been sleeping in my grave?
They won't find my soul.
Who's been sleeping in my grave?
Who's been sleeping in my grave?
Who's been sleeping in my grave?
They won't find my soul to save.
