Hell's Ditch - The Pogues



  • Life's a bitch, then you die
    Black Hell
    Hell's ditch, naked howling freedom
    The killer's hands are bound with chains
    At six o'clock it starts to rain
    He'll never see the dawn again
    Our lady of the flowers

    Genet's feeling Ramon's dick
    The guy in the bunk above gets sick
    In the cell next door the lunatic
    Starts screaming for his mother

    Black dildo, black hell,
    As the Spanish cops ridiculed my gel
    A mugshot I remember well
    Little man how you have suffered

    I could hear the screams from up above
    If it ain't a fist it isn't love
    As for our lady she kneels down
    Her neck is bent, the blade comes down
    Dong! There goes the breakfast bell
    Back from heaven, back to hell
    Naked howling freedom, Hell's ditch
