Shit On The Shovel Songtext
von Graham Lindsey

Do you remember the time when we walked down to the pond
And I told you I′d give you anything you want
Then I ran like Hell as you fired your bombs
Yodelay de aye de I
Round and round and round and round we go
Like two snakes chasing each other inside a toilet bowl
There's a crow in the barn and a worm in my wine
And I got shit on my shovel oh me oh my

You said I got no soul and my heart is black
Well then why′d you keep asking for things you knew I didn't have
Now you're trying to stab me with a spoon hoping I might laugh
Yodelay de aye de I
We could be together for the rest of our miserable lives
Like ring around the rosy while the shrapnel flies
But what′s the point of anything if we can not change our minds
I got shit on the shovel and you/nobody don′t give a damn why


My roots are all rotten and I lost my seeds
Now all I can grow are these beautiful weeds
Yea they starve when they're hungry and they thirst when they′re dry
Yodelay de aye de I
I can tell you a joke or I can sing you a song
Or I can show you how to make the whole world come down
I got a plumb stuck on my thumb and my face in a pie
And I got shit on my shovel what a good boy am I

I'll pluck out your eyes if you pluck out mine
With us both in the dark now who could truly decide
Who done wrong and who done right
Yodelay de aye de I
You′re opening the door but you keep crying wait
Just kick that mule down off the fence and let him through the gate
Hell must be for all the imbeciles that try to fool time
I got shit on my shovel and we're waving goodbye

And I guess it′s kind of funny how we all change paths
Sobbing like infants and running like rats
With our hearts in a trap and our heads up our ass
Yodelay de aye de I
Baby if we could see the future maybe we wouldn't even try
And all you do is smile when I stop and wonder why
I'll be haunted by your cries for the rest of my life
Yodelay de aye de I
