Story behind the song
An abused wife, a drinking husband who is handy with his fists, but the worm has turned, and now she is ready to dish out some home-made karma, because in her eyes, he is walking on Hallowed Ground!
Lyrics
HALLOWED GROUND ( © Ross Hemsworth & John Martin 2015)
YOU TOOK MY HEART AND YOU BROKE IT IN TWO
WELL I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S COME OVER YOU
GAVE IT MY ALL BUT I GOT NOWHERE IT’S TRUE
IT’S TIME YOU GOT WHAT’S COMING TO YOU BABY
YOU DESERVE IT, YEAH, WHAT’S COMING TO YOU BABY
(Chorus)
WELL YOU’RE ON HALLOWED GROUND BUT YOU JUST DON’T CARE
YOU’RE WALKING ALL OVER ME, YEAH YEAH YEAH
YOU GOT NO RESPECT AND IT JUST AIN’T FAIR, ALRI-IGHT
WE BOTH HAD SOMETHING THAT WE THOUGHT WAS GOOD
I TOLD THEM ALL IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
NOW YOU’RE PULLING MY HEART RIGHT THROUGH THE MUD
NOW I HOPE SOMEBODY HURTS YOU TOO BABY
WELL YOU DESERVE IT YEAH, WHAT’S COMING TO YOU BABY
Repeat Chorus
