Seething Lyrics - Singles - Stewart Tony

(The Arachnids) 

And the Spirit of the Lord 

Came upon Samson once again 

It took him down to Ashkelon 

He struck down thirty men 

He took all their belongings 

And bore their clothes away 

To use them for the forfeit 

He promised he would pay 

And Samson he was seething 

Oh boy ! Was Samson mad ? 

The Philistines had wronged him 

So vengeance Samson had 

His wife, meanwhile, was given to 

The one who'd been best man 

Some best man to take his wife 

Who needs that kind of man ? 

He took a harvest goat for her 

To celebrate the day 

But as he went up to her room 

Her father barred the way 

And Samson he was seething 

Oh boy ! Was Samson mad ? 

The Philistines had wronged him 

So vengeance Samson had 

"You didn't want her anyway 

She's not the girl for you 

You'd really like her sister though 

She's very tasty too" 

"The Philistines have gone too far 

I'll even up the score 

Just to show how mad I am 

I'll harm them even more" 

So he caught three hundred foxes 

And he tied their tails in twos 

He fixed a torch to every pair 

And then he set them loose 

And Samson he was seething 

Oh boy ! Was Samson mad ? 

The Philistines had wronged him 

So vengeance Samson had 

Oh Samson he was seething 

Oh boy ! Was Samson mad ? 

The Philistines had wronged him 

So vengeance Samson had
