Dig It Up - Hoodoo Gurus [Sydney, Australia] - 1983 - "AMG pick. CRAMPS-esque vocals. Ghoulish story. Guitar HOOKS." - Stoneage Romeos (Acadia)-2002.
NOTE: I couldn't find a studio version of this song, nothing but live, SO I'm uploading this 5 star song straight off the CD.
FYI: Even though this debut album is highly regarded, I got most of my 4-5 star songs off this CD:
Mars Needs Guitars! [Bonus Tracks] [Import UK] (Arcadia)-2005.
BOTTOM LINE: You need to be careful of what you get by this band, there are some that are real "stinkers" and you'll have buyers regret. :-(
Sing this song at your next ghoul party. :-)
My girlfriend lives in the ground.
My friends ask why she's not around,
She won't come home.
I'm so alone (you'll never know!).
You can't bury love, You've gotta dig it up.
Yeah, you've gotta live it up.
I take her flowers each day.
I place them over her grave
I want her back
Because I look so bad, so bad in black
(Like a maniac)
You can't bury love,
You've gotta dig it up, I said you've gotta live it up.
Outstanding guitar interlude.
Please, darling, come home to me.
Well, I'll make you so happy, you will see
! I'll paint your room
In pink and blue
(I'll even choose the colour scheme for you!).
You can't take away my love
I'll never give it up!
Yeah, I'm gonna dig it up.
(Don't!)
(Don't! I Don't want to know!)
My girlfriend lives in the ground.
My friends, you ask me why she's six feet down,
I can't tell you why if I even try
I'd fall down flat on my face
And I'd cry, "you can't take away my love"
I'm gonna dig it up!
I'm gonna live it up, yeah,
I'm gonna dig it up, dig it up.
I'm never gonna stop
With that loving cup.
Gotta fill it up.
