[barty352]

i can hear the screams from up above if aint a fist is isnt love.. fuckin ell top lyrics, one of Shane's best. Hells Ditch is underrated.

Praise anyone who knew anything about Jean Genet... beware them as well.

Life's a bitch, then you die Black Hell Hell's ditch - naked howling freedom The killer's hands are bound with chains At six o'clock it starts to rain He'll never see the dawn again Our lady of the flowers Genet's feeling Ramon's dick The guy in the bunk above gets sick In the cell next door the lunatic Starts screaming for his mother

[thomasioth2]

Can someone explain to me what the song is about? Thanks...?

[SteeleCurtain411]

@thomasioth2

It's about life in a Spanish prison apparently

[thomasioth2]

@SteeleCurtain411

Yes ok lol, but can you be more specific?

[dannylava]

@thomasioth2 read "Our Lady of the Flowers" by Jean Genet :^)

[2mnbvcxz]

Genet's feeling Ramon's dick

The guy in the bunk above gets sick

search Jean Genet on wiki

[Legendao]

@thomasioth2 Hell's Ditch is based largely on the life and writings of French author and playwright Jean Genet, in particular The Miracle of the Rose and Our Lady of the Flowers, with its vulgar description of squalid prison life.

[Gaiscioch9]

Has an almost Romani feel to it

[irishmusicfan52]

Life's a bitch then you die Black Hell..... classic

[OscarLimaMike]

I was 2 years old when this album came out but my father played it all the time growing up. It's by far my favorite of the Shane years.

[Thx1138d]

Hmmmm.Hardly a song for 2 years to be listening to

[ConnDevi88]

Very true, but thanks to it I now have good taste in music.

[musicray65]
