``Well, I feel we should move right into the religious material.''
When you walk through the garden,
You've gotta watch your back.
Well, I beg you're pardon;
Walk the straight and narrow track.
When you walk with Jesus,
He's gonna save your soul.
You've got to keep the Devil;
Well, you've got to keep him
down in the hole.
He's got the fire, people,
he's got the fury at his command.
Oh, you don't have to worry
Hold on to, hold on to... Jesus hand
we'll all be safe from Satan
when the thunder,
when the thunder starts to roll.
We've got to keep the devil,
keep him on down
down in the hole.
That red horned, lousy, low life, underneath our boots..
Praise the Lord.
I don't know what it is.
Two dollar - that demonmiester
Three dollar - that prince devil
Just see if you can come up with a figure that matches your faith
He said, how much has Jesus done for you?
And we got to go in, with our hydrolic system,
and blast him out.
People, can I get an amen?
All the angels, pledge God to sing;
all about Jesus mighty sword.
And they'll shield you with their wings
People, they'll keep you
close to the Lord.
Now don't pay heed to temptation,
For his hands are so cold.
You've got to keep the devil,
keep him on down in the hole.
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
People, I've got to speak about something...
Can I get an amen?
Can I get an halaluja?
Praise the lord.
God bless you.
The Lord is a very very busy man.
I'll do what I can.
But Jesus is always going for the big picture...
But he's always there to help us out of the little jams too.
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Keep him down in the hold
You've got to keep the devil down in the hole
You've got to keep the devil down in the hole
Keep him on down in the hole
Down...down, down, down mighty devil
I send you down below my boots.
down, down, filling my live with anger and strife
Go down mighty devil.
Find a place to live.Down down down...
by Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan
Will ye take me across the channel
London Bridge is falling down
Strange a woman tries to save
More than a man will try to drown
And its the rain that they predicted
And its the forecast every time
The rose has died because you picked it
And I believe that brandy's mine
And all over the world strangers
Talk only about the weather
All over the world its the same
Its the same!
And the world is getting flatter
And the sky is falling all around
Oh, when nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town
And a love like ours, my dear
Is best measured when its down
And I never buy umberellas
Because theres always one around
And all over the world strangers
Talk only about the weather
All over the world its the same
Its the same!
And you know that its the beginning
And you know that its the end
Once again we are strangers
As the fog comes rolling in
And all over the world strangers
Talk only about the weather
All over the world its the same
Its the same!
