The Grateful Dead - When Push Comes To Shove
Shaking in the forest, what have you to fear?
Here there may be tigers to punch you in the ear
With gloves of stainless steel, bats carved out of bricks
Knock you down and beat you up and give your ass a kick
When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love
Shaking in the desert, wherefore do you cry?
Here there may be rattlesnakes to punch you in the eye
With shotguns full of silver and bullets made of glass
String barbed wire at your feet, that will not let you pass
When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love
★ Chorus ★
When push comes to shove, when push comes to shove
You're afraid of love, when push comes to shove
★ Instrumental Break ★
★ Verse 2 ★
Shaking in the bedroom, covers on your head
Are you still in fear of the hand beneath the bed?
Grabbing at the handle, scratching at the door
Maybe it's mystery killer you saw on Channel Four
When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love
Shaking in the garden, the fear within you grows
Here there may be roses to punch you in the nose
Snap my arms around you, snap you until you cry
Wrap you in the sweet perfume and love you 'til you die
When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love
★ Chorus ★
When push comes to shove, when push comes to shove
You're afraid of love, when push comes to shove
When push comes to shove, when push comes to shove
You're afraid of love, when push comes to shove

Biography
Over the years the Dead released 22 recorded albums, although they were most famous for their improvisational jams at concerts, earning them a cult-like following of self-proclaimed “Dead Heads” who would follow the band from concert-to-concert throughout the band’s career.
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and they’ve sold more than 40 million albums in total; all that with only one top 40 hit (“Truckin”), and one Top 10 hit (“Touch of Grey”) that came near the end of the band’s run, shortly before Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. Grateful Dead was also ranked 57th in Rolling Stone’s “The Greatest Artists of All Time” issue in 2004 and 2005. Since then, various incarnations of the Dead have continued to tour, although a 2015 farewell tour was said to be the band’s last.
In 2015 Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann started a new group called Dead and Company with John Mayer, Allman Brothers bassist Oteil Burbridge, and former Dead keyboardist Jeff Chimenti which Weir has said may have a future in the studio and will continue to tour in coming years.
In 2008, The Grateful Dead named the University of California, Santa Cruz McHenry Library as the home of their complete archival history, including their recorded music, live bootlegs, and artworks. The collections are are now housed at UC Santa Cruz.
