9:28 - THE STORY OF SPIDERWEBS
- Inspired by the episode “Our Mrs Reynolds” from the TV show Firefly
- Talked about it in episode #6 of In the Verse.
- Mal: Now, think real hard. You've been birddoggin' this township a while now. They wouldn't mind a corpse of you. Now, you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear, by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.
Bad men are bird dogging our town Dogging our town, Bird dogging our town Bad men are bird dogging our town We’ll lay a trap for them.
We’re gonna spin a spiderweb Spiderweb, Spiderweb We’re gonna spin a spiderweb That’s how we will catch them.
I’ll wear a soft cotton dress A soft cotton dress, soft cotton dress I’ll wear a soft cotton dress With a pretty floral bonnet on top
Will shoot them down in the spider web Spiderweb, spiderweb Will shoot them down in the spider web And celebrate our win
A pretty little girl has lured me in Lured me in, lured me in A pretty little girl has lured me in Declared her love for me
She caught my heart in a spiderweb Spiderweb , Spiderweb She caught my heart in a spiderweb Now how will this all end
She’s leading me to the end of the line End of the line, end of the line She’s leading me to the end of the line We'll put things right again
I’ll break free from her spiderweb Spiderweb, spiderweb I’ll break free from her spiderweb And never kiss a girl again
Come here little lady, May I meet you I meet you, I meet you Come here little lady may I meet you Guess it begins again
It’s all a game of spiderwebs Spiderwebs, spiderwebs It’s all a game of spiderwebs And everybody falls in

You're a stunning lady Your emotions you hide You tear down my defenses With a wink of your eye
You think it's a game That only you can win But that is insane, girl Cuz it's you...Who's naked
That I undress your heart You choose to downplay Try to reclothe your thoughts But your feelings you betray
Bridge:
You're breaking down now Can I hold you when you cry? Or will you disarm me? 'Fore you tell me goodbye And leave me naked
Don’t shut yourself off There’s no need to hide Wanna know every part of you Please let down your guard

Reaver Drinking Song #280
"If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing – and if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order." Zoe’s description of reavers on the TV show Firefly sounds pretty insane. And every time we meet the reavers in the show and movie, they seem just as insane. And yet... they can fly spaceships. I share the story behind my song “Reavers Drinking Songs” today on Pub Songs & Stories #280.

"Reaver Drinking Song" lyrics and music Marc Gunn
Bash their heads flay their skin Make them scream in pain Let ‘em alone and think you’re done Let's start another refrain
Niska was old and scary, A bad reputation And then he heard a reaver scream His body's gone for cremation.
Badger was a businessman Roots in the community A reaver ate his little gang And now he can't even pee
Durran's steak was always rare Before I first met him He met a reaver now won't eat steak He's a vegetarian
Bester loved ships and women They howled when he boarded them He shipped was boarded by reavers. Now He howls when they board him.
Boss Higgins' word was law What he said was set in stone Then reavers hit Higgins' Moon The law is now written in bone
Fanty and Mingo are fine twins You can't tell one from t'other Until they met a band of reavers Now Mingo's the prettiest brother
Jubal was a bounty hunter A sadist through and through He rambled about philosophy While a reaver started to chew
No mercy, they all were weak Cattle for the slaughter Open them up, look inside I think I see Harry Potter
