Lyrics:
My dad dug for gold in the ground
Your mom dug by sleeping around
My mom looked for a Russian MiG
Your dad dug with an oil-rig
CH
We dig so hard
Makes us feel macho
Play the winning card
Get to be the honcho
Verse instrumental
BRIDGE
Hot, hot, hot in a deep, dark mine
The lights go out and you walk around blind
V2
Uranium’s the other gold
Fire it up - you can be so bold
Put it on a missile - you’re the man
Cleanse enemies because you can
CHORUS
Verse instrumental
BRIDGE
OUTRO
Dig, dig, dig that gold, gold, gold
Dig, dig, dig that gold, gold, gold
all copyright, etc.
Release notes
June and Joe start to share their stories here, mixing ideas with their position deep underground.
A little desperate - they realize that they're musicians as well as scientists, and start to appreciate that.
Tilla and Crow write and sing songs as well.
2024-09-18 @billwhite51 Parts of this remind me of Dire Straits, I can imagine the protagonist's dad singing this song in his day, so it seems to me that the song is in some sense a parody of the old man's mining songs.2024-09-18 @val That shaker or whatever is super cool. Adds great texture while also adding a nice touch of percussive. Very nice light rhythmic guitar too. Interesting story. Keep it up! This is cool.2024-09-18 @yewnorker Very simple and understated but also hypnotic. Lights go out and you walk around blind. That says it all. I'm digging this tune! I agree the percussion adds something here.2024-09-18 @ttg105 Nice laid-back blues sound. I like the lone percussion instrument in the background, the tone of the guitar, the lonely piano and the JJ Cale-like vocal. One of your best!2024-09-18 @fuzzy That second verse is awesome.
All your lyrics are awesome, and your vocals are always great.
Excellent work.
