"Shovel In His Hands" lyrics
"Shovel In His Hands"
Two red right hands instead of two left feet
Come up to greet, entice you from your seat
The blood on those hands comes from faraway lands
And just around the corner where the old man stands
Shovel in his hands
This so-called kingdom is hot
Who's gonna bring the rain?
This kitchen's getting even hotter
It's sending us insane
The devil is a crackin' dancer
The one with the ultimate fee
Why don't you save the last one for him
And come with me?
Come with me
His smoke rises from the ground, out towers all around
Lost at sea, he might prefer you drowned
That you were never found
Dressed to kill by starving poor people at will
While manipulating minds with incredible skill
(Skippin' all around, skippin' all around)
He'll grab your tail
This so-called kingdom is hot
Who's gonna bring the rain?
This kitchen's getting even hotter
It's sending us insane
The devil is a crackin' dancer
The one with the ultimate fee
Why don't you save the last dance for him
And come with me?
Heavy on the heart
Heavy takes its toll
Spinning out of time
Am I losing control?
The devil is a crackin' dancer
The one with the ultimate fee
Why don't you save the dance for him
And come with me?
The devil is a crackin' dancer
The one with the ultimate fee
Why don't you save the last one for him
And come with me?
The devil is a crackin' dancer
The one with the ultimate fee
Why don't you save the dance for him
And come with me
And come with me?

Ocean Colour Scene - "So Low" If anyone rises at 6.31
And thinks all day that
They're having their fun
They never did get it right
Since they got it so low
To anyone drinking the morning away
The afternoon will prove a mistake...
Hard-Fi - "Stars Of CCTV" And every move that I make
Gets recorded to tape
So somebody up there
Can keep me safe
I'm going out tonight
I've got my hair just right
I'm always looking good
For the spotlight...
The Enemy - "Happy Birthday Jane" Good mornin' Jane
Happy birthday, once again
What would we do
What would we do without you
Without you
Wake up, the sun is shining
Shining for you
To take all your troubles away
Just for a day
To...
The Strypes - "Scumbag City" There's empty cans on River Street
Scumbag city blues
Sunday morning's indiscreet
Saturday left clues
Last night's claps and filthy slaps
Need no no excuse
Are you cutting out or holding back
A loop...
The Cribs - "Our Bovine Public" Didn't think I'd have to choose
Didn't think I'd wear brown shoes
Didn't think that I'd ever have to read about this in the news
You're gonna have a go?
Well I don't want to know
I just thought that...
