Dig Out Your Soul
You have ten quid and a mattress on the floor
In a friend's apartment by the door.
And you don't know where you live and you don't know where to go
But you couldn't care less even so.
You lost your lover and direction, you get wasted every night
You think there's nothing left to live for but in fact you've got your life and your
Soul
You still have a soul
So dig out your soul
So you can see who you are
You have ten drinks, then you have a little more,
And you end up puking on the floor.
And it takes you to the brink, as you crawl to the sink
You think: “I was never this low before”.
But as you stare at your reflection, tears and goo and bloodshot eyes
You are looking at the essence of what your safe life disguised: there's your
Soul
A dubious soul
So dig out your soul
So you can see who you are
There's nothing like peace and quiet
To bundle up yourself real sweet
There's nothing like a set direction
To make you forget where you wanna be
So next time you see your shrink, man
Just take her out for fifteen drinks
She'll find your personality lurking
In the nearest ditch
Just let the old men preach a life in modesty and bliss,
‘cos there's nothing like a minor personal crisis to bring out your
Soul
Dig our soul
You bleed out your soul
So you can see who you are
Yeah, you got a soul
A wonderful soul
Just dig out your soul
Then you see who you are.
