Way Down In The Hole ``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... 9. Strange Weather 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!
