God money Ill do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to.
God money nail me up against the wall.
God money dont want everything he wants it all.

No you cant take it
No you cant take it
No you cant take that away from me
No you cant take it
No you cant take it
No you cant take that away from me

Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
Id rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
Id rather die than give you control.

Bow down before the one you serve.
Youre going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
Youre going to get what you deserve.

God moneys not looking for the cure.
God moneys not concerned with the sick among the pure.
God money lets go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
God moneys not one to choose
No you cant take it
No you cant take it
No you cant take that away from me
No you cant take it
No you cant take it
No you cant take that away from me

Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
Id rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
Id rather die than give you control.

Bow down before the one you serve.
Youre going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
Youre going to get what you deserve.

Bow down before the one you serve.
Youre going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
Youre going to get what you deserve.

Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
Id rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
Id rather die than give you control.

Bow down before the one you serve.
Youre going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
Youre going to get what you deserve.

8. Hole Lotta Love - Ed Zeppelin

[unpossibles]

9. "Coattails of a Deadman" by Primus

is about Courtney Love, although she is more "ho" than "hole", imo...

but whatever.

didn't Bugs Bunny sing "Ain't No Place Like a Hole In The Ground"?

[ghostsofgiants]

10. "Diggin' A Hole" by Big Sugar is fun.

Also, does a void count as a hole? If so, I also nominate "Voids" by Paulson.

12. Tattooed Love Boys

By the Pretenders.

Here are the lyrics. Nasty stuff.

Q


THE MID TWENTY JOYS AROUND A HEART THAT'S BLACK AND BLUE
TATTOOED LOVE BOYS
I TORE MY KNEES UP GETTING TO YOU
'CAUSE I NEEDED
TO FIND OUT WHAT THE THING WAS FOR
BEEN READING
BUT MAN THE TIME CAME TO EXPLORE


I WENT APEWIRE 'CAUSE I THOUGHT
LIKE I'D LIKE IT LITTLE TEASE
BUT I DIDN'T MEAN IT
BUT YOU MESS WITH THE GOODS DOLL, HONEY YOU GOTTA PAY, YEAH


A GOOD TIME WAS GUARANTEED FOR ONE AND ALL
THE TATTOOS DID TARGET PRACTICE IN THE HALL
WHILE WAITING FOR THEIR NUMBER TO GET CALLED OUT
I, I, I, I FOUND OUT WHAT THE WAIT WAS ABOUT


I WAS A GOOD TIME, YEAH, I GOT PRETTY GOOD
AT CHANGING TYRES UPSTAIRS BRO
I SHOT MY MOUTH OFF AND YOU SHOWED ME WHAT THAT HOLE WAS FOR


NOW I SEE YOU
ALL IMPRESSED AND HALF UNDRESSED
YOU GOT PAINT STICK ALL OVER THE SCARS AND LUMPS AND BUMPS
TATTOOED LOVE BOYS
HAVE GOT YOU WHERE I USED TO LAY
WELL HA HA TOO BAD, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY
"STOP SNIVELLIN', YOU'RE GONNA MAKE SOME PLASTIC SURGEON A RICH MAN"


OH, BUT THE PRESTIGE AND THE GLORY
ANOTHER HUMAN INTEREST STORY
YOU ARE THAT

[Ohio Joe]

13. DON'T LET THE RAIN COME DOWN (Crooked Little Man)

CHORUS
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
There was a crooked man and he had a crooked smile
Had a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse
They all lived together in a crooked little house

CHORUS

Well, this crooked little man and his crooked little smile
Took his crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Bought some crooked nails and a crooked little bat
Tried to fix his roof with a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat

CHORUS

Now this crooked little man and his crooked cat and mouse
They all live together in a crooked little house
Has a crooked door with a crooked little latch
Has a crooked roof with a crooked little patch
CHORUS

CHORUS

(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it (my roof's got a hole in it)
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

14. Sting's We work the black seam

This place has changed for good
Your economic theory said it would
It's hard for us to understand
We can't give up our jobs the way we should
Our blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
We work the black seam together

The seam lies underground
Three million years of pressure packed it down
We walk through ancient forest lands
And light a thousand cities with our hands
Your dark satanic mills
Have made redundant all our mining skills
You can't exchange a six inch band
For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
We work the black seam together

And should the children weep
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
When you have sunk without a trace
The universe will suck me into place


One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
We work the black seam together
