Shallow Grave Lyrics & Chords By Elvis Costello & The Attractions

LyricsView Chords

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

Throw another clown to the lions
Throw another Joan on the blaze
Cast me away on the cool, 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

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
