Far From Me - Nick Cave

For you dear, I was born For you I was raised up For you I’ve lived and for you I will die For you I am dying now You were my mad little lover In a world where everybody fucks everybody else over You who are so far from me Far from me So far […]

Little Empty Boat - Nick Cave

You found me at some party You thought I’d understand You barreled over to me With a drink in each hand I respect your beliefs, girl, And I consider you a friend, But I’ve already been born once, I don’t wanna to be born again. Your knowledge is impressive And your argument is good But […]

People Ain’t No Good - Nick Cave

People just ain’t no good I think that’s well understood You can see it everywhere you look People just ain’t no good We were married under cherry trees Under blossom we made pour vows All the blossoms come sailing down Through the streets and through the playgrounds The sun would stream on the sheets Awoken […]

Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere - Nick Cave

I remember a girl so very well The carnival drums all mad in the air Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell O where do we go now but nowhere In a colonial hotel we fucked up the sun And then we fucked it down again Well the sun comes up and the sun […]

Babe, I’m On Fire - Nick Cave

Rock Of Gibraltar - Nick Cave

Let me say this to you I’ll be steadfast and true And my love will never falter The sea would crash about us The waves would lash about us I’ll be your Rock of Gibraltar Sometimes it’s hard And we’re both caught off guard But there’s nothing I would ever alter The wind could howl […]

There Is A Town - Nick Cave

There is a town Where I was born Far far away Across the sea And in that town Where I was born I would dream That one day I would leave And cross the sea And so it goes And so it seems That God lives only in our dreams In our dreams And now […]

Still In Love - Nick Cave

The cops are hanging around the house The cars outside look like they’ve got the blues The moon don’t know if it’s day or night Everybody’s creeping around with plastic covers on their shoes You’re making coffee for everyone concerned Someone points to this and someone points to that Everyone is saying that you should […]

Dead Man In My Bed - Nick Cave

She sat in a wicker chair, her eyes they were downcast She breathed in the future, by breathing out the past The die is done, the die is shook, the die is duly cast There is a dead man in my bed, she said That smile you see upon his face It’s been there for […]
