43. Tramp the Dirt Down - Elvis Costello

Wed Dec 31, 2025, 04:00 PM

Wednesday

Originally written to “honor” Margaret Thatcher. Wonder if EC could be persuaded to update it

…I hope I live long enough to savor
That when then finally put you in the ground
I’ll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down
