lyrics

The sun just set on the British Empire
As ignorance spread fast like bush fires
Cannabis was dealt from tutor's table, to the pupil laboured and weak

We'll give you the means and give you the money
We'll give it to you all if you just tag along
It's just as it seems, pat on the back, trust me
I've no need to lie but I do so anyway

You can smile all the while
But you can't hide the lie in your eyes
You can smile all the while
But you can't hide the lie in your eyes

It's this hope in our hearts, this bread before dark
That keeps us here and we think we are safe
It's this die hard attitude that's been past
From parent to kin and so forth we begin
The waltz with our past

Keep digging, digging, digging, deeper
Until something worth to someone
Until something worth to someone turns up

Fear not the stranger with sweets
It's the girls that will come in there twos and there threes
Fear not the stranger with sweets
It's the girls that will come in there twos and there threes

A penny for your thoughts
A pound for your loving
Digging through collectives, to come up with nothing

A penny for your thoughts
A pound for your loving
Digging through collectives, to come up with nothing

It's this hope in our hearts, this bread before dark
That keeps us here and we think we are safe
It's this die hard attitude that's been past
From parent to kin and so forth we begin
The waltz with our past

Keep digging, digging, digging, deeper.
