Father's Grave

from Futile Exorcise by Paul Rooney

/

lyrics

You're dead, you're dead, but your troubles never cease.

They’re moving father’s grave to build a sewer.
They're moving it regardless of expense.
They're shifting his remains
To put in 9-inch drains
To irrigate some rich bloke's residence.
Now what's the use in having a religion,
And thinking when you're dead your troubles cease?
If any city chap
Wants pipelines to his crap.
He doesn't let a workman sleep in peace.
Now father in his life was not a quitter,
I don't suppose he'll be a quitter now.
And in his winding sheet, he’ll haunt that toilet seat
And only let them go when he'll allow.
Oh won't there be some fuckin' consternation;
And won't them city toffs begin to rave!
It's more than they deserve:
They had the bloody nerve
To muck about a British workman's grave.

You're dead, you're dead, but your troubles never cease.
