about

Originally a Spannerman song and created for a Spannerman Performance Band show at Westway Film Studios back in 1993. The show's theme was time travel and was based on a number of Greek Myths.

lyrics

Curiosity, destroying all the gains
Deadly properties, leveller

Oh to reminisce, oblivion is bliss
Now we gotta stop this, suffer the abyss

Stethoscope, gyroscope, isotope, monger

Giving hope, skipping rope
Hugger mugger, bread and butter
What about the wonga!

Pandora tried so very hard to leave things as they were but she could not stop thinking about the box and what it contained. The words, “Don’t open it!” echoed in her mind but curiosity finally got the better of her.

A turn of the key that she had kept safely on a chain around her neck unlocked the box and Pandora was able to open the lid just a fraction to have a little look inside. Just a tiny glimpse.

That was a mistake! As soon as the lid was lifted, a foul smell filled the air and stirring and rustling was heard inside. She slammed the box shut but it was too late. All the evil contained within had been unleashed and escaped out into the world. 

Hate and Envy and Lies and Death and Famine and Pestilence, Greed, Vice, Crime, Violence… all the evils imaginable were let loose upon the earth…

Mitigating force, lingering inside
Suffering remorse, and torment

What does it contain? Safe or further bane?
Pessimistic expectation, driving me insane

Microscope, kaleidoscope, colourscope, conquer

Horoscope, envelope
Getting stronger, hunger squander
Wonder any longer!
