about

The title of this song is a warning that I heard myself giving my son a while back, when he was excavating a giant hole in our back garden. It struck me as a good metaphor for all sorts of things.

lyrics

There’s a boy in the garden
With a shovel and a spade
He’s going to dig himself a hole
That’s the biggest ever made
Boy in the garden
Shovel and spade
Biggest hole
Ever made
I say I know you’re having fun
I don’t want to make a fuss
But if you dig any deeper
It could get dangerous 

Now we’re drilling through the earth
Building pressure all the time
Splitting cracks in the rock
To free the power inside
Drilling through the earth
Pressure all the time
Cracks in the rock
Power inside
Some things are better left buried
Down under the crust
And if we dig any deeper
It could get dangerous

Put your shovel away
Time to call it a day
Sometimes the way to fix a problem
Is to turn the pressure off
Cos if you dig any deeper
It could get dangerous 

We’re bringing fire and flood
And trembling ground
See the pale horse
Hear the trumpet sound
Fire and flood
Trembling ground
Pale horse
Trumpet sound
I hope we can stop it
But we need to hurry up
Cos if we dig any deeper
It could get dangerous 
Dig any deeper
It could get dangerous 
Dig any deeper
It could get dangerous
