Title: DOWn DOWn DOWn in the Hole
Post by Rev 20 Redlights on Oct 10^th, 2008 at 8:53am

Will all your money
Buy you forgiveness
Keep you from sickness
Or keep you from cold?

Will all your money
Keep you from madness
Keep you from sadness
When you're DOWn in the hole?

'Cause you'll be DOWn in the gutter
You'll be bummin' for cigarettes
Bummin' for nylons
In the American Zone

You'll be DOWn in the hole
Yeah, DOWn in the hole
No escape from trouble
Nowhere to go

DOWn in the gutter
Beggin' for cigarettes
Beggin' forgiveness
All that you know

DOWn in the hole
After diggin' the trenches
Looking for cover and findin' out there ain't nowhere nowhere to go
Nowhere nowhere nowhere to go

None of your money
Will buy you forgiveness
None of your jewelry
None of your GOLD

Your black MARKET cigarettes
Your American nightclubs
Ah, you've got nowhere left

Something for nothing
All of your friends gone
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
THAT'S ALL THAT YOU KNOW

You've sunken DOWn in the hole
DOWn DOWn DOWn in the hole
You've sunken DOWn DOWn DOWn DOWn in the hole

Well I like Down in The Hole because it takes on another person's perspective, a soldier in combat. The point is, when you are facing death and destruction, nothing in the world can save you. Its a grim message but true, and I imagine some soldiers hiding out in a trench with bombs dropping all around them wishing they were somewhere else. It's an anti-war commentary, fighting aint no rock and roll show. IMO

>Well I like Down in The Hole because it takes on another person's perspective, a soldier in combat.

Nonsense. There's but one line that "supports" your thesis-- "after digging the trenches" -- and its
clearly a metaphor refering to ECONOMIC warfare. Mick (and Keith too as a matter of fact) has
long been interested in the decline and fall of our present-day empire, as early-on as "You take
your choice at this time: the Brave Old World or the slide into the depths of Decline -- oh Decline,
baby" and as late as the aptly referenced "Back of my Hand": "There's a Reverend, on the corner,
raving like a crazy man. He says there's trouble, trouble coming, I can read it like the back of
my hand."

I'm more or less that preacher, and THIS RIGHT NOW (what you'll be witnessing on the news day
to day over the next few months) is absolutely The Biggest Bang.

I musta been foolish, I musta been blind
I musta been crazy, And out of my mind
For so long

Minutes turn to hours, And hours turn into days
The storm started howlin', I'm out of my brain
I'm out of my brain
For so long

The fall turned into winter, The winter turned into rain
The storm started howlin', I'm out of my brain
I'm out of my brain, I'm out of my mind
For so long
So long
So long
So long
So long
Out of my mind for so long

Felt a mighty rumble, Comin' from the ground
The house it started shakin', And tumblin' down
Tumblin' down
For so long
For so long

Musta been crazy, I musta been blind
Musta been foolish, And out of my mind
Out of my mind
For so long
So long
So long
So long
So long
Mmmh mmmh
Uh uhh
So many days
Uh uhh
So many damn days
