When I fall in endless sleep
|
I hope that I'll be buried deep
|
Let me be the one that fortune favours
|
Even good children got shallow graves
|
|
Throw another clown to the lions
|
Throw another Joan on the blaze
|
Cast me away on the cruel calm ocean
|
and leave me for days and days and days and days and days
|
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
|
I won't lie, I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
|
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep
|
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
|
|
Bless the poor 'cos like the rich
|
They all end up in a ditch
|
In this world of fools and knaves
|
Even good children got shallow graves
|
The tinker, the tailor, the fabulous five
|
Nobody gets out of this alive
|
|
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep
|
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
|
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep
|
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
|
Dig me down, dig me down, dig me down deep
|
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
|
