Down In The Ground Where The Dead Men Go

Post Thu Sep 15, 2005 1:58 pm

I really like this song but there a few lines that I can't understand or track down, was wondering if anyone can help me out.

I fell and tumbled in the hungry grass
That tells the tale of a terrible past
I screamed and rolled and dreamt I fell
Down in the depths of a freezing hell
[? ? ? ]
[? ? ? ]
[? ? ? ]
Gonna wrap me up and take me away
Four million people starved to death
Could smell the curse on their dying breath

also who is singing for with Shane?
So be easy and free when your drinking with me..

Hello boys I've been away
On a bit of a holiday
To the land where the rivers freely flow
And the cattle roam on the wild callagh
Walking home three parts pissed
I fell and rolled in the morning mist
I fell and tumbled in the hungry grass
That tells the tale of a terrible past
I screamed and rolled and dreamt I fell
Down in the depths of a freezing hell
With a man coming up with the bugs inside
Bouncing tooth in a skull that died
We laughed to old times and the bad old days
Gonna wrap me up and takin' me away
Four million people starved to death
Could smell the curse on their dying breath
Where no one ever wants to go

I believe that's Spider singing with Shane.

Thanks firehazard, that one has been bugging me for a while now. I think I'm gonna go check out this Dicography section!

Thanks Sheva, i had a feeling it was him but I can never be 100% sure.

Well now I can listen to this song and the whole way through.
