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

lyrics for
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

(Chorus:)
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

(Repeat Chorus)

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
