Hiders In Holes by The Shambles

These hiders from light
Talk boldly of fight
They tell an unconvincing story

These hiders in caves
Send young men to their graves
To die, they believe in glory

What is this cause?
These holy wars!
You may choose to pay the ultimate price
But do the misused?
Have the right to choose?
Those who will share their sacrifice?

These hiders in holes
These sellers of souls
These market dealers in doom

Hiders behind skirts
They nurture their hurts
With arms that reach out from the gloom

Why the cry?
An eye for an eye!
That retribution be both swift and ruthless?
Is it the master plan?
That each and every land
Be filled with the blinded and the toothless?

These hiders can lie
The dark blinding their eyes
Safe from those that would kill them

These hiders may hide
They're safe inside
Let them have their holes . . . and then fill them

I wish l was a mole in the ground.
Yes, I wish I was a mole in the ground:
If I was a mole in the ground,
I'd root that mountain down,
And I wish I was a mole in the ground.

Richard and Linda Thompson - "Mole in A Hole"

"I want to be a mole in a hole digging low and slow/I want to be a fly flying high in the sky."

Being as the first didn't work I'd assume the second was the better option.

If the Americans had listened to Paul McCartney they could have captured Saddam long ago.

My friend Karen Everson and I do a book of cartoons, that comes out in August. We ended our last one with WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO SADDAM HUSSEIN and a picture of a frog with a moustache saying, "The Mother of All Ribbits". He must have been turned back because the other frogs complained.

"He's gone to Tikrit to hide" was the way I heard it.
Closer parody of the original.

Capture of Saddam

(Parody of "Ground Hog")

Old Paul Bremer, sent the 4th Infantry, (3x)
To hunt down Saddam, the tyrant Iraqi,
Sad-dam!

Whistle up yer dog and loaden up yer gun…
Away to Tikrit, we'll have great fun…

He's in here, boys, the hole's wore slick…
Run here, Sam, with yer forked stick!…

Git down, Sam, and in there peep…
Fer I think I see him sound asleep…

Stand back, boys, and let's be wise…
Fer I think I see his beaded eyes…

Hold them dogs, boys, don't let' em howl…
I thought I heerd Old Saddam growl…

Run back, Sam, cut a long pole…
Let's roust this bugger right out of his hole…

Back came Sam with a ten-foot pole…
He roused it in Old Saddam's hole…

Now work, boys, work, dig that loam…
We'll bring Old Saddam's bacon home…

I heerd 'im give a whistle, heerd 'im give a wail…
As I wound my stick right in his tail…

Stand back, boys and gi' me some air…
I've got Saddam by his old short hairs…

Up steps Bush with a snigger and a squeak…
"So much for Dean on the cover of Newsweek!"…


Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Ace of Spades


Where will you find a dic-tater, when he's cast from his ivory tower?

Uprooted from his throne, he'll be hiding all alone, holed up like a sad damn old coward.

In a root cellar's where he will cower

For months they hunted and sought him, they searched everywhere all around.

When finally found, in his hole in the ground, they surrounded his spidery plot,

And dug him up without firing a shot

A dic-tater just doesn't keep well, in a hole way down deep in the ground.

He'll be bearded and ripe, from suckin' air through a pipe, that ace of spades will be smelling quite sour,

And very badly in need of a shower

And how did he keep warm while down there, in his dark dirty place in the sand?

He feathered his nest, with nothing but the best, with a cool ¾s of a mill,

All American one hundred dollar bills.

And when he's tried for the crimes he's committed, no mercy will be handed down.

Then they'll plant him again, right back where they found him, way down deep in a hole in the ground.

So down deep that he'll never be found.

Did I dream that the troops who found him are to export the hole back to their US base?

I must have done, if I didn't then a song about how you go about shipping a hole must be a good subject for a song challenge?

I was thinking of working up a parody for this concept based on "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" but I thought better of it...
