: : I first heard this in a Clint Eastwood movie-The Outlaw Josie Wales. The character says "Like the good book says in the midst of life we are in debt..."
: : I can't find it in the Bible.
: : It also pops up on a Morrisey song.

: It's death. It's meant to mean that death is part of life.

Camel's right of course. My first reaction though was 'in the midst of life we are in debt - ain't dat da truth.'
