[Intro]
Oh, c-c-c, call on me
Oh, c-c-c
[Verse 1]
Dirt on the cuffs, it comes around
Watch the river run on the sunny side of town
Heavy hammer peggin' the line, the roarin' sound
With the city spread on the mind and read their mind
[Chorus]
And they're diggin'
Diggin' the ground, the ground
The hot, diggin' deeper
Diggin' the ground
They dig, they dig, they diggin' deeper
Diggin' the ground
The ground, the ground, gettin' deeper
Diggin' the ground
The ground, the ground, gettin' deeper
[Verse 2]
Who's on the round, the round, the round? Chalk 'еm up
I schlepped around, around to the cornеr shop
Oh no, they smile, they smile, they smile, they smile for him
And that, that, that, that, that's when the penny drops
[Chorus]
Deep in the ground
The ground, the ground, it comes for him
He's deep in the ground
The ground, the ground, it comes for him
He's deep in the ground
The ground, the ground, it comes for him
He's deep in the ground
The ground, the ground, it comes for him
[Post-Chorus]
Rollin' around and back to the corner shop
Blue plastic bag, it's packed on the countertop
He knows to smile, he knows when it's comin'
When you're deep in the ground, you dig, dig
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, dirt on the cuffs, it comes around
Roll the cigarette on the empty side of town
Where the birds dip, eyin' the ground as worms come out
With the mornin' fresh on the mind, he read their mind
[Chorus]
And they're diggin'
Diggin' the ground, the ground
The hot, diggin' deeper
Diggin' the ground
They dig, they dig, they diggin' deeper
Diggin' the ground
The ground, the ground, gettin' deeper
Diggin' the ground
The ground, the ground, gettin' deeper
[Post-Chorus]
Rollin' around and back to the corner shop
He knows the line, the shopkeeper always drops
He knows the smile, he knows when it's comin'
When you're deep in the ground, dig
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Ah, he's hotter than a car bonnet
You can light a cigarette on him
Ah, he's hotter than a car bonnet
Oh, you could cook a egg on it

This was probably the first one we did in the house in Camberwell, writing about that phase where we were all living together on top of each other and didn’t really have anything to do apart from sit about and drink and argue with each other for about 12 hours in a day. I think it’s a mantra about t...
