Don't Forget Your Shovel

(альбом: The Time Has Come - 1983)

Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Oh don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Or you'll end up where you came from like the rest of us
Digging, digging, digging...

And don't forget your shoes and socks and shirt and tie and all
Don't forget your shoes and socks and shirt and tie and all
Mr murphy's afraid you'll make a claim if you take a fall
("How's it goin'" "not too bad")

And we want to go to heaven but we're always digging holes
We want to go to heaven but we're always digging holes
Yeah we want to go to heaven but we're always digging holes
Well there's one thing you can say... we know where we are going
("Any chance of a start?" "no" "okay")

And if you want to do it... don't you do it against the wall
If you want to do it... don't you do it against the wall
Never seen a toilet on a building site at all
There's a shed up in the corner where they won't see you at all
("Mind your sandwiches")

Enoch Powell will give us a job, digging our way to annascaul
Enoch Powell will give us a job, digging our way to annascaul
Enoch Powell will give us a job, digging our way to annascaul
And when we're finished digging there they'll close the hole and all

Now there's six thousand five hundred and fifty-nine paddies
Over there in London all trying to dig their way back to annascaul
And very few of them boys is going to get back at all
I think that's terrible

Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Oh, don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Or you'll end up where you came from like the rest of us
Digging, digging, digging...
