Yet another canceled television series for archiving purposes.
Terriers is (or was) an FX original series that starred Donal Logue of Grounded for Life fame.
It had a good theme song, and it would have given this blog its share of search visits had it not been canceled.
The opening theme song for Terriers is officially entitled “Gunfight Epiphany”. It is by Canadian composer Robert Duncan. It is not “Steel Neena”, as suggested by the lyrics or as I have read from some video comments. Duncan’s official site confirms this. Also, Robert Duncan, as far as this site is concerned, composed the theme song for Castle.
The song has an extended/full version that lasts 3 minutes. (I think) it is available in iTunes.
Below are the complete lyrics.
Terriers theme song lyrics
Got a ride with a trickster and a javelin man
To a town down by the sea
Steel Neena was a girl who set me free, she said
I lay my soul out down to bleedFast hill the joker and the queen, the tables turn if you get what I mean, stand down with 27 men, what fire is coming over me?
I fell down, down to the bottom of a cold sea
And the church bells ringing in the middle of a gunfight
And I walk like a ghost among the living and the born free
Neena coming neena coming for you
Got a sign from the rider of the wondering road
To a run down farmers field
Where I’ll wait for the girl who waited for me, she said
By the crowd up or the tree
Fast hill the joker and the queen, the tables turn if you get what I mean, stand down with 27 men, what fire is coming over me?
I fell down, down to the bottom of a cold sea
And the church bells ringing in the middle of a gunfight
And I walk like a ghost among the living and the born free
Neena coming neena coming for youI fell down, down to the bottom of a cold sea
And the church bells ringing in the middle of a gunfight
And I walk like a ghost among the living and the born free
Neena coming neena coming for you
Hell, no, son
Ain’t gonna get the gun
Seen a lotta things
And they’ve only just begun
‘Cause the minute they speak
Is the minute that I run
Ten clicks south to the border stationI said, “Hey, hey, son
I’m gonna get you sprung
Just keep on looking
For the sally port punk”
‘Cause the minute he speaks
Is the minute that you run
Fresh set of wheels
And I’ll see you at the donPast thirty second
And the bakers got a bun
Sweatin’ that my Neena’s
Gonna get attention
Living on the lam is like living on the sun
Gotta to make it to Ysidro
Where I’m gonna be done
Finally, below, the official opening sequence of Terriers.
