Clutch - The Soapmakers Lyrics






Behind The Cliffside Inn,
I Heard A Fiddle And A Mandolin,
Keeping Rhythm On An Old Washboard
And Stomping On The Floor.
Saw People Of All Sorts
Dancing 'Round In Twos And Fours,
Caroling About Days Of Old,
And What The Future Holds.

In The Middle Was A Big Cauldron
That They Were Stirring, Stirring,
And There Were Trees Around
That They Kept Burning, Burning.
I Asked A Toothless Man
Who All These People Were, And
He Said, "The Soapmakers,
And We Are Working, Working."

As They Stirred Heaven And Earth, They Combined To One,
And Everything Was Everyone And Each One Was All.
As They Stirred I Heard A Trumpet Call,
And Everything Was Everyone And Each One Was All.

As They Stirred Heaven And Earth, They Combined To One,
And Everything Was Everyone And Each One Was All.
As They Stirred I Heard A Trumpet Call,
And Everything Was Everyone And Each One Was All.

Clutch The Soapmakers Comments
  1. g.... s....

    You sure that's soap they're making?

  2. A.... M....

    Very White Zombie driven.

  3. P.... F....

    The Cliffside Inn was a actual Inn in Harpers Ferry WVA ,I used to drive by it on my way to work everyday....I live in MD & worked as a meat cutter/butcher in a grocery store in Charlestown WVA for a few years,the Inn closed years ago,I think it’s a Days Inn now or some shit....I’ve met everyone in the band except for Tim,a guy I worked with at a different store (this 1 was in MD) dated JP’s sister & I remember drinking with him in his folks garage before the 2nd self titled album came out....all those guys are cool as shit 🤟🏻🖤much love for Clutch

  4. J.... B....

    You can hear the Black Sabbath influences in this tune. What a rocking band! Love these guys.

  9. P.... ....

    1:36 One of the heaviest fuzziest deepest groves I've ever heard. I used to bike commute to this album (Elephant Riders) but I had to stand up to keep my balls from rolling uncomfortably between my thighs, and the horn when this part kicked in. No shit, true story. That grove makes your balls hang when you're really into it.

  10. R.... E....

    The only problem with this song, is that it's too short.

  11. a.... m....

    I want this song plaid at my funeral

    B.... ....

    S.... H....

    I used to drive by the Cliffside Inn he’s talking about,it was in Harpers Ferry WVA but closed a few years ago ( maybe longer) being from the same area as Clutch it’s cool when they add lyrics about stuff in the DMV area...long live fuckin CLUTCH!!! 🤟🏻criminally underrated & overlooked band,just a solid tried & true rock&roll band

  63. B.... M....

    So good

  64. N.... T....

    To the longtime fans its always weird to see Neil with a beard...just sayin'.

  65. C.... L....

    each one was everything and everyone was all.

  66. n.... n....

    Neil no beard
    And also no other bands will sound like this

  67. D.... L....

    My favorite band

  68. J.... P....

    I just found out that the Elephant Riders isn't available in Australia so that has me pissed.

  69. a.... ....

    Hace tiempo que no escuchaba un Riff tan sabroso

  70. B.... S....

    This video reminds me of Exactly what you wanted by Helmet. Anyone else agree?

  71. K.... S....

    This is one of my favourite Clutch songs, I just wish The Elephant Riders album would be re-issued so I can get my hands on it!!!

  72. B.... M....

    Sounds like ICP

  73. G.... G....

    42 idiots

  74. H.... ....

    Neil looks stoned out of his mind. Killer song though.

  75. B.... P....

    Clutch and Helmet are essentially the sound track to my youth.

  76. J.... o....

    my favorite band ever. hung out with them on their rv once after a show. sold them a few ounces of weed. not neil because he didnt smoke. but we all chilled and ordered pizzas and it was awesome for me because id been listening to them since one latenight on mtv i saw the video for shogun named marcus. and this was back in the early 90s. still a fan. music just gets better and better.

    J.... o....

    Epic band, epic story, epic fan.....hats off to your sir

    J.... o....

    I grew up in the DC/Baltimore area & im the same age as these guys,a guy I worked with dated JP’s sister & I remember partying in their folks garage ,this was before the 2nd album came out & I asked JP what it sounded like & he said “it’s sorta like the 1st one but it’s got a phatter groove”...I’ll never forget that shit 🤟🏻🖤nothing but love & respect for the whole Clutch family

  77. S.... V....

    Clutch is literally the best stoner band

    S.... V....

    Sofia V :while I agree with you Clutch can’t be labeled just a Stoner band ,they’re a great all around rock&roll band,just like Led Zep wasn’t just a “metal” band or Soundgarden wasn’t just a “grunge” band,they’re the total package that defies genres

  78. M.... H....

    I have team rock radio to thank for introducing me to this band. It's too bad that team rock shut down.

  79. D.... B....

    Nuthin ' but clutch!

  80. H.... ....

    MD to DE bridge sighting.

  81. S.... F....

    no,but this is beyond all that,this is ethereal

  82. a.... a....

    wish they would go back towards this direction

  83. N.... F....

    Where did Clutch form the band?

    N.... F....

    That’s right near me!

  84. S.... G....

    Want to start my new career being a soap maker!

  85. s.... t....

    Clutch = greatest music + greatest vocals + greatest lyrics.

  86. O.... O....

    a amazing band with true artistic skill.

    O.... O....

    Obtuse One

  87. E.... S....

    anyone else think of fight club?

  88. J.... S....

    No beard, no party¡¡¡

  89. G.... F....

    JERSEY MOTHERFUCKERS!

    G.... F....

    FUCK... I KNEW IT THE MINUTE I SAW OLD BRIDGE ON THAT COP CAR.

    G.... F....

    Birch Hill

  90. I.... ....

    Aww, he was a baby!

  91. P.... ....

    My favorite Clutch song <3

  92. L.... C....

    What's the chances of reissuing "The Elephant Riders"? My copy is scratched & doesn't play properly. It's just fucked up. Maybe add some bonus tracks & vids. TER is my favourite Clutch album easily.

    L.... C....

    Only a couple years until Sony loses the rights to that album and Clutch can resissue it. They've said before that they're waiting it out because it'd be a pain to deal with Sony's lawyers

  93. G.... S....

    How anyone gives Clutch the down vote I will never know. I am approaching 30 times seeing them in 20+ years. Not many do it better or for as long or as intelligently as them!!

    G.... S....

    Spot on.

    G.... S....

    Your sir, are a great man, and will inherit the greatness that is everything, because everything is everyone and each one is all

    G.... S....

    Gordon Scott right there with ya..about 30 shows..been listening since 92/93.....they are the best!!!!

    G.... S....

    Damn dude, you've seen them 30 times? I'd love to be able see them once

    G.... S....

    I met a dude that was a drummer, he turned me on to clutch and fu manchu.

  94. k.... ....

    And everything was everyone and each one was all!!!!!

  95. K.... D....

    so this is where alternative music has been hiding!!! Awesome very punk rock.

  96. C.... R....

    needs beard lol

  97. A.... ....

    Fuck ya
