Elvis Costello – Shallow Grave Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: All This Useless Beauty

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
[ Shallow Grave lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/shallow-grave/ ]
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
