The Divine Comedy Eric the Gardener song lyrics

Julius Caesar came, saw, conquered, went away

‘Cause it rained here all the time

Too many sniffs and colds

Got up his Roman nose

So he left it all behind for Eric the gardener to find

Eric the gardener

Eric the gardener will find Eric the gardener

Julius Caesar knew that when his life was through

Something of him would stay behind

Not in a Roman tomb or an Italian womb

But buried deep in English slime

For Eric the gardener to find

Eric the gardener

Eric the gardener will find Eric the gardener

Julius Caesar sleeps soundly beneath your feet

With the rest of humankind

Dig deep and dig some more

Dig to the planet's core

Dig 'til you've gone out of your mind

But all you will ever find is Eric the gardener

All you can ever hope to find is Eric the gardener
