Alternatively, he could sing 'It's Time' instead: As Elvis says:
'In a strange way "It's Time" was the sequel to "Tramp The Dirt Down" This is indicated by an absurd line in the last verse: ".... but if you do have to leave me, who will I have left to hate?" '
I've always understood this song to be one of his very personal songs dressed up as something else. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Re: Tramp The Dirt Down
blob, italian tv program that mixes a stream of consciousness of tv fragments justapoxed in a political and sarcastic way (from a leftist point of view), all dedicated to margaret tonight: i've caught a glimpse of elvis c. singing "tramp the dirt down" live, just the "and when they'll finally put you in the ground / i'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down" with a quite ferocious expression.
