Electric Chair
Bear Quartet · Early Years [2003]
hands are dirty
did a crap thing
read your letters
got inside while you where out
searched your drawers,
opened closets
looked for skeletons
it's not much but it's a home
some privacy
some place to be alone
it's not much but it's your home
I violated
something holy
pass me that bowl of soap
toothpaste won't do
mouth's too dirty
toads jump out
I did some evil things
I told some lies about the findings
in your house
no, there's no electric chair
so if you find one put me there
it's not much but it's a home
some privacy
some place to be alone
it's not much but it's your home
I violated
something holy
Electric Chair - Bear Quartet
Released on the 2003 album Early Years, Electric Chair is a defining track by the British indie rock band Bear Quartet. The song exemplifies the group's signature sound, blending melodic pop sensibilities with the gritty, lo-fi aesthetic that characterized their early recordings. Produced with a raw, intimate approach, the track features the band's characteristic interplay between driving rhythms and emotive vocals. As a staple of their discography, Electric Chair captures the transitional energy of the early 2000s indie scene, reflecting the band's commitment to authentic, unpolished production over commercial perfection. It remains a representative work of their catalog, showcasing their ability to craft memorable hooks within a compact, self-contained musical framework.
