Pete Townshend - Dig Lyrics
We old ones, have seen two wars
We old ones, have seen two wars
When you're sick and afraid
And there's danger around
And cut into the ground
Away from the light
Away from the sound
Make a trap for the beast
Dig his burial mound
Dig for your life
Dig to the death
Dig for salvation
Till your very last breath
Dig for protection
Dig for resurrection
Dig for peace
We old ones, have seen two wars
When you dream of a laser
That sears your soul
Slices like a razor
Burns like coal
You can bet you'll forget
When the rock starts to roll
And the last meets the least
By the watering hole
Dig it down deep
Dig it out wide
Dig it for pleasure
Dig it for pride
Dig it for treasure
Dig it for stones
Dig it for the metal
And dig it for the bones
...
We old ones, have seen two wars...

THE RULE, Cuzzzzzz
I love this Album!
For Ziggy digit baby
Mind you its as simple and brilliant as guitar and pen or however much I booze or numerous others x The Who will never be equalled as a group
What a great song enough said me thinks
I first saw them stood on canvas over ice at Deeside in 1981 from then to now 2018 nearly 40 years of class
I found this CD in a pile of used CD's. Quickly became one of my favorites. What an overlooked gem.
Never knew this existed. As per usual, brilliant Pete.
DIG... WHUH! DIG!
The last great Who song recorded with John Entwistle.
Classic Townshend ! Dig, I won't have to run,
One person needs to dig themselves a hole and jump in it.
if you have this album, the Townshed "demo" version of this song blows this out of the water
Lord this kicks some ass.
Diggity.
" The old ones have seen 2 wars...." Generational reality?
thanks for the mp3s. I also found the extended edition for Man Machines. Thanks again! great OST. =3
I agree. Iron Man is a masterpiece. All songs are goodness. The only problem with the album is that it's wayyyy too short. I would have loved to see a double album.
Do you have the version with simon townshend? i love that version, i think his voice suits this track more so than daltrey :)
Thx for posting.
WAY underrated musical. Why this didn't get more kudos is beyond me. it's not Quadrophenia, but is still amazing.
Any chance of uploading "Over The Top"? Can't seem to find it.
Lucky you. I saw them 1979 Chicago Ampetheatre. The concert in Cinncinati where 11 people died in the rush for the door..I saw the concert in Chi..whitch was the next city on the tour. Strangest crowd ever ..No one pushed or shoved or anything.Unforgettable show. Long Live Rock !
The 89 tour was the 1st time I ever heard them (I was 8) Their music has been a LARGE part of my life everyday since.
Cut into the ground...
I seen this tour... It was the '89 Tommy tour but... they played this song live... it was great,
one of only two songs on the album that entwistle, towser and rog are on toghether.
love how rogers sings it
Lovely song
