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?

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.
