Cold Cold Ground Lyrics - Singles - Tom Robinson

Call me digger, I don't have no other name 

Don't want no hassle next time I'm making my claim 

Long ago and far away 

My dad was an animal but that's okay 

Hitched to the city, now I'm here to stay 

Begging on the cold, cold ground 

Some people cuss and kick or spit in your face 

Some just slip you a quid and quicken their pace 

If you were me, the roles reversed 

Don't try to tell me you'd escape the curse 

Every alternative's so much worse 

Than begging on the cold cold ground 

Beg, beg, begging 

The rain keeps hammering down 

Beg, beg, begging 

Begging on the cold, cold ground 

I got smooth white skin, so I do much better than some 

Some girls mother me, some men wanna have fun 

Late tonight when you're in bed 

Or sat up surfing on the World Wide Web 

You'll forget the beggar boy you just met 

Begging on the cold, cold ground 

Beg, beg, begging 

The rain keeps hammering down 

Beg, beg, begging 

Begging on the cold, cold ground 

Don't kid yourself that you're immune 

The 21st Century will be here soon 

Fucked in a gutter, howling at the moon 

And begging on the cold, cold ground 

Beg, beg, begging 

Why don't you give me a pound? 

Beg, beg, begging 

Begging on the cold, cold ground 

Am I alright? You might well ask 

A sop to your conscience as you walk on past 

You sad motherfuckers can kiss my arse 

I'm begging on the cold, cold ground
