the go-betweens - when people are dead lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
ten days after uncle died
we three cleaned the house
our auntie just sat there & cried
our mother said, “cheer her up”
so we ran upstairs & sat on her bed

[chorus]
they said you bury the dead
what’s bury?
rosie said, “something you do
when people are dead.”

[verse 2]
played cat & mouse games for an hour
jimmy went down & picked her a flower
rosie said prayers & sang her a psalm
then our mother said we’d been there too long
we left her alone for a little while more
then a commotion: a he_rs_ at the door!

[chorus]
they said you bury the dead
what’s bury?
rosie said, “something you do
when people are dead.”
[verse 3]
rosie & jimmy ran away scared
a man with a hat & long black clothes
entered the room
in a dark somber pose
with two of our uncles shoulder_to_shoulder
they carried the coffin away to the graveyard
to be buried

[chorus]
they said you bury the dead
what’s bury?
rosie said, “something you do
when people are dead.”
