Buffy doesn't take the hint, however, and just stays planted where she is. Oops -- seems that Spike is not immune after all, and he's been trying to get Buffy to leave before he too breaks into song. "I died so many years ago / But you can make me feel / Like it isn't so," he croons, and then shakes his head in frustration at being forced to share his feelings this way. Looking very sultry and lit in the very best cheekbone-emphasizing light, he tells her (in song of course) that he knows she only comes to see him because she's afraid to tell her friends about where she spent her death. "Whisper in a dead man's ear / It doesn't make it real." Buffy purses her lips and rolls her eyes, but she doesn't make any sort of verbal protest. She looks away, and Spike heaves himself up on a tomb, telling her that since she only thinks of him as dead, he wants her to stay away from him. He sings lying on his back and then crosses his arms over his chest. That's kinda dorky. I'm not really fond of this number. There are some good lines, but overall the staging is really cheesy and the song doesn't play to James Marsters's vocal strengths at all. I think it should have been a much more punky song with a more raucous chorus. More like the "I hope she fries" lines that Spike delivers near the end of the episode, which come off much more successfully than this entire song. "Let me rest in peace, / Let me get some sleep," he sings, then advances on Buffy angrily. "I can lay my body down / But I can't find my sweet release." Is this another naughty song? This is the night of heavy-breathing symbolism.
