lyrics

Oh the rain don’t fall underneath the ground.
If the heart should fail the world will still go round.
Take a little trip to the next one,
Bury me in sight of the Cusack Stand
And it’ll be ok baby, ok in the end

As the teeth grow long, as the body breaks,
As the the mind grows soft, reason starts to shake.
Sing a little song of the next one,
See the setting sun for the final time
And it’ll be ok baby
Ok by and by

And down we go,
Down into the underground.
Singing all the marching songs,
Singing all the girls we never had to leave behind.

Der würm vortet hungrich
Sein aschiger falle
Leb wohl altes würmchen
Du krieg uns ja alle
Lah di dah di dum, lah di dy do x2
After all
The doctor bills and guilty chills and raging at St. Jude

And all of the neighbours said his heart was not that strong
Fat pig wasn’t seen outside since Christmas time of 1981.

And the kids sing “There he goes”
Slipping out of memory too soon.
There is nothing left to say about him
Bu he was a fat pig, fat pig.
Bear him on down and the kids around there say
That’s where fat pig used to stay.

(Our friend Nicky Redmond wrote the German lyrics in this, and did an amazing job complete with references to "Faust" ... but we lost where we wrote them down and only half-remembered them so they probably don't make any sense at all. Sorry!)
