You stood in the belltower, 
But now you`re gone. 
So who knows all the sights 
Of Notre Dame? 

They`ve got the stars for the gallant hearts. 
I`m the replacement for your part. 
But all I want to do is forget 
You, friend. 

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, 
Won`t leave me alone. 
The first time in my life, 
I leave the lights on 
To ease my soul. 
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, 
Won`t leave it alone. 
I don`t know, 
Is this the right thing to do? 

Rehearsing in your things, 
I feel guilty. 
And retracing all the scenes, 
Of your big hit, 
Oh, God, you needed the leading role. 
It wasn`t me who made you go, though. 
Now all I want to do is forget 
You, friend. 

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, 
Won`t leave me alone. 
The first time in my life, 
I leave the lights on 
To ease my soul. 
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, 
Won`t leave it alone. 
I don`t know, 
Is this the right thing to do? 

Who calls me from the other side 
Of the street? 
And who taps me on the shoulder? 
I turn around, but you`re gone. 

I`ve got a hunch that you`re following, 
To get your own back on me. 
So all I want to do is forget 
You, friend. 

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, 
Won`t leave me alone. 
The first time in my life, 
I leave the lights on 
To ease my soul. 
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, 
Won`t leave it alone. 
I don`t know, 
Is this the right thing to do? 
[This song is also known in an early demo version, perhaps dating from between 1973 and 1976, which features a few alternate lines:] 


Who stands in the belltower, 
Now you`re gone. 
And who knows all the sights 
Of Notre Dame? 

You knew the girls and the times, 
You knew the rides and the rhymes. 
Now they`re trying to push me into your name. 

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, 
Won`t leave it alone. 
The first time in my life, 
The first break of my life, 
I`m letting go. [uncertain] 
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, 
Won`t leave it alone. 
Oh no, 
It`s not the right thing to do! 

Who calls me from the other side 
Of the street? 
And who taps me on the shoulder? 
I turn around, but you`re gone. 

You know my mind and my heart. 
So you should know I wouldn`t take your part. 
All I want to do is forget 
You, friend. 

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, 
Won`t leave it alone. 
The first time in my life, 
The first break of my life, 
I`m letting go. [uncertain] 
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, 
Won`t leave it alone. 
Oh no, 
It`s not the right thing to do!
