[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G
Been a week with the banshees
Em
Frozen in the mud pit as they scream
G
Hypnotised by the wide mouths
Em
Swallowing the dense sky prophecies
G
Hurt creeping up behind us
Em
Seven clean days of raging lust
G
Queer clovers line up their young
Em
Parrying the daggers thrown at us
[Chorus]
G
When it's time
Em
To lay me in the ground
G
Lay me down
On the point
Beneath the sand
Beneath the sand
Em
Is where I'll be
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
G
When it's time
Em
To lay me in the ground
G
No weight
Of the earth
Can hold me down
Not when you're around
Em
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
[Verse 2]
G
Cut off from the real world
Em
Wire was cut before we woke
G
We can live a little freer girl
Em
Burn all ya clothes now we're wild folk
G
Take ya trust and wrap it up babe
Em
In Mother's woven blanket made for this
G
I'll guard it with my life ay
Em
A fist to save the diamonds in your finger tips
[Chorus]
G Em
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
G Em
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
G
When it's time
Em
To lay me in the ground
G
Lay me down
On the point
Beneath the sand
Beneath the sand
Em
Is where I'll be
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
G
When it's time
Em
To lay me in the ground
G
No weight
Of the earth
Can hold me down
Not when you're around
Em
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
[Bridge]
G
Shapes wander in the black
Em
Chills down my spine
G
Take all I ever had
Em
She'll still be mine
G
Coz when you know you know, you know
Em
Yeah when you know you know
G
When you know you know, you know
Em
Yeah when you know you know
G
Coz when you know you know, you know
Em
Yeah when you know you know
G
Coz when you know you know, you know
Em
Yeah when you know you know
[Chorus]
G
And when it's time
Em
To lay me in the ground, ground
G
Lay me down
On the point
Beneath the sand
Beneath the sand
Is where I'll be
Em
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
G
When it's time
Em
To lay me in the ground, ground
G
Lay me down
On the point
Beneath the sand
Beneath the sand
Is where I'll be
Em
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
[Outro]
G
Reflections in the mirror
Em
Don't recognise the man I saw
G
But I'm glowing when I hear her
Em
Speak to me the way she always did before
