Digging Your Scene

About Digging Your Scene

"Digging Your Scene" is a song recorded by English band The Blow Monkeys for their second studio album, Animal Magic (1986). The single was released in February 1986 as the second one from the parent record. It was written by lead singer Dr. Robert (Robert Howard), while Howard, Peter Wilson, and Adam Moesley produced it. Musically a pop, soul, and jazz song, "Digging Your Scene" discusses the hatred and disgust that is associated with individuals who have HIV and AIDS. Several media professionals felt the song's subject matter would be the subject of criticism. The single was widely praised by music critics, with several agreeing it would succeed as a radio single. Others appreciated the mainstream feel and quirkiness of the production. It was also a commercially successful single, peaking at number 10 in New Zealand and at number 14 in the United States. "Digging Your Scene" reached number 12 in the United Kingdom, becoming their highest peaking single at the time. A music video for "Digging Your Scene" was released in May 1986 at a music festival in Switzerland. The song has since been included on various compilation and greatest hits albums, including Choices – The Singles Collection in 1989 and Digging Your Scene: The Best of The Blow Monkeys in 2008. more »

I just got your message baby
So sad to see you fade away
What in the world is this feeling
To catch a breath and leave me reeling
It'll get you in the end, its god's revenge

Oh I know I should come clean
But I prefer to deceive
Everyday I walk alone
And pray that god won't see me

I know its wrong, I know its wrong
Tell me why is it I'm digging your scene
I know I'll die baby

They put you in a home to fill in
But I wouldn't call that living
I'm like a boy among man
I'd like a permanent friend

I'd like to think that I was just myself again
Why is it I'm digging your scene
I know I'll die baby

I just got your message baby
So sad to see you fade away
I'm like a boy among men
I'd like a permanent friend
I'd like to think that I was just myself again

Why is it I'm digging your scene
I know I'll die baby

Oh come home baby come on angel
