lyrics

Come listen to me and I’ll sing you a song,
It might offend you it won’t take me long.
It’s of the bold diggers at Fairmile camp,
deep underground in the cold and the damp.

Digging down down down, digging down.

There’s Ian, and Animal, Pete and Welsh John,
and Swampy of fame I’ll include in my song.
There’s no finer diggers in Devon it’s true,
and the poor and the sheriff don’t know what to do.

Digging down down down, digging down.

Swampy said this new road is a terrible thing,
Just think of the damage and ruin you’ll bring.
We’ve only one planet or have you forgot
Would the cameras be here without us? I think not.

Digging down down down, digging down.

So the bailiffs they dug and they shored up with planks
While hundreds of policemen they stood by in ranks.
They thought they had reached them but soon felt quite sick
When they found a steel door that was 5 inches thick.

Digging down down down, digging down.

So here’s to the fine moles of old Fairmile copse
They’ll be there in sprit until the road stops.
Lift up your voices and raise up your glass
They gave the road builders a kick up the arse

Digging down down down, digging down.
Digging down down down, digging down
