Shallow Grave |
| 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 cause 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 |
