| The Pogues – If I Should Fall From Grace With God Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's based on an old nautical belief that someone who was drowning would float to the surface three times before they finally died and sank beneath the waves forever. I always read it as changing the focus of the song completely. Instead of merely being buried at sea, it would appear he wants to throw himself into the water in order to escape all the murdered ghosts and corpses weighing heavy on his conscience. |
