Drink to the Dead (Basket of Eggs) Lyrics


If knee-deep in cat nip
At the old icebox
I recommend you whistle
And give the box three knocksShould you be so lucky
To hear whisperin'
It is an invitation
For you to leap inMay you go marching in three measure time
Dressed up as asses, drunk to the nines
Swing from the rafters, shouting those songs
Gone unsung for far too longIf boxing your shadow
At the wall full of moss
And antlers approach you
Then I am at a lossMay you go marching in three measure time
Dressed up as asses, drunk to the nines
Swing from the rafters shouting those songs
Gone unsung for far too longDrink to the dead all you still alive
We shall join them in good time
Should you go crossin' that silvery brook

It's best to leap before you lookDrink to the dead, all you still alive
We shall join them in good time
Should you go crossin' that silvery brook
It's best to leap before you lookDrink to the dead, all you still alive
We shall join them in good time
Should you go crossin' that silvery brook
It's best to leap before you lookIf surrounded by toadstools
At the old green glen
I'm afraid there is little
That I can recommendSave all of your courage
And the sincere prayer
And where you go a-treadin'
Take the utmost careSo let us drink to the dead all you still alive
We shall join them in good time
Should you go crossin' that silvery brook
It's best to leap before you lookDrink to the dead all you still alive
We shall join them in good time
Should you go crossin' that silvery brook
It's best to leap before you look

Clutch is a rock band from Germantown, Maryland, United States. They have been playing together since the early 1990s. They released their first EP, Pitchfork, in October of 1991.

Each of Clutch's albums is marked by its own distinct and cohesive sound and the band's musical style may be said to have migrated from hardcore punk to hard rock and blues over the course of their career. Clutch's lyrics, at first angry and serious in tone, had by the time of 1993's Transnational Speedway League become characterized by intelligence, wordplay, and often humor (although comedy is not usually the focus). Their songs make frequent reference to history, mythology, popular culture, and religion. Bam Margera often uses Clutch songs in his MTV show "Viva La Bam."

The members of Clutch often perform on albums with other bands as well as side projects. JP played drums on Five Horse Johnson's album The Mystery Spot. Neil Fallon sang some backing vocals for Dozer's Beyond Colossal album as well as a side project called The Company Band. The band also has a side band they perform in called The Bakerton Group. The music consists of all instrumental jams with a blues feel to it.

Clutch has often performed more than 100 shows per year since their formation. They are managed by Jack Flanagan out of NYC.
