Hunters Collectors Back In The Hole Lyrics

Back In The Hole Lyrics

When the day shift is over

There'll be fear in the pipeline tonight

All the prisoners are restless

Locked up from dusk to daylight



Well how can you blame them?

I get pretty close myself sometimes…

I know the score, I know the feeling

Isolation for canteen crimes



Still I gotta keep my shirt on

Gotta wait for the nerves to unwind

I gotta get control again

Gotta let the blood boil in my mind



But you don't take it out on your children

Honey I won't take my work home tonight

On the weekend I'm gonna have a good one

'Cos I'll be back in the hole in the morning light



When the schoolboy's witch hunt is over

He's gonna tell us that the system is wrong

But I'll still be working in the cold Coburg air

We've had it too easy for too long



I'm on my way home now

To face up to the rest of my life

Hot water and a home cooked meal

And send kind regards to my wife



But you don't take it out on your children

Honey I won't take my work home tonight

On the weekend I'm gonna have a good one

'Cos I'll be back in the hole in the morning light
