Oh yeah... Oh yeah?... Oh yeah!... Goddammit!!!
Long years of labour Endless months of rain I 've been walking down that road With a good deal of nothing to gain I've learnt my lesson now, I've learnt my lesson right The only thing that I've got to lose, I'd sell... I would sell for a fuckin' mite! (Now you got that right!) Goddamn the day when I was born Cursed be the hour when they tore me from the womb Well, I will rise against my fate And now... You known... And now you know you gotta face it! Get it on, now you gotta get it on! Get it on, now you gotta get it on! Burning like a Doomsday Sun! Get it on, now you gotta get it on! Rock'n'Roll won't get you far! Get it on, now you gotta get it on! [Lead - AR] Long days of labour Endless nights of rain I've been walking down that road With not one thing to gain Never wanted to get that far Never wanted to be noone Never wanted to shine like a star, but burn... Yes, burn like a Doomsday Sun! (And I'm burnin'!) Goddamn the day when I was born Cursed be the hour when they forced me into this world Well, I defy my destiny And now...You know And now...You know And now...C'mon, make my day! Get it on, &c........ (Like an outlaw bandit:maker of the rules) Get it on, &c........ [Lead - AR] 02. City Of Refuge Music & lyrics by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
You better run You better run and run and run
You better run You better run You better run to the City of Refuge You better run You better run You better run to the City of Refuge You stand before your maker In a state of shame Bacause your robes are covered in mud While your kneel at the feet Of a woman of the street The gutters will run with blood They will run with blood! You better run, you better run You better run to the City of Refuge You better run, you better run You better run to the City of Refuge In the days of madness My brother, my sister When you're dragged toward the Hell-mouth You will beg at the end But there ain't gonna be one, friend For the grave will spew you out It will spew you out! You better run, you better run You better run to the City of Refuge You better run, you better run You better run to the City of Refuge You'll be working in the darkness Against your fellow man And you'll find you're called to come forth So you'll scrub and you'll scrub But the trouble is, bud The blood it won't wash off No, it won't come off! You better run, you better run You better run to the City of Refuge You better run, you better run You better run and run and run You better run to the City of Refuge 03. The Sunday Song
[The Morning After edit]
[Jarva et al] [MISCELLANEOUS APOLOGIES:] Alright, I've said this once... and now I'll say it again. One time for the good old times, one time for the times that were worse One time for all the wasted days and one time for the sleepless nights [Solo Alexi] One time for the shrinks and for the doctors, one time for the hospitals One time for the cops and even one time for the neighbors too One time for the broken glass on the floor, one time for all the things that I may have broken last night One time for our broken vows and twice for a broken heart One time for those foreign countries, one time for the streets of your hometown, baby One time for all the restaurants and bars in the mountains ? till I wandered down my way ? (get a hold of yourself, boy!) [Solo Taneli] One time for all the pain I caused, one time for I am always the cause of your pain One time for all the things that I have done wrong and once for the sunday song One time for I'm always pissed, one time for I'm always broke One time for I'm pissed and I'm broke, and I'm pissed, ? I want up (get a hold, you sorry little fuck!) Solo Maike] One time for all the woe and sorrow and grief, ah, and all the shit that I brought into your life That grisly fate, that evil omen that came your way, blackened your day One time for all these God-forsaken, God-wretched creatures But brandished with scars on their hands, they're just like me, they're just like me One time for all the times that you cried, one time for all the times that you wept and you cried And you wept and you cried, and you wept, one time! 04. Many A Good Man
There's a man in the woods upon that hill
With a rope in his hands, with a will to kill some time: To kill his only thing! The thing that kept him moving on In a life that was moving towards its end From the beginning anyway... The day is hot - He's so cold He is too young - But feels so old And far from being beautiful and bold! Help - There ain't none for him He's lost and he is done with it forever and for good Made up his mind, oh yes! Black soul - Blue skies Cold sweat and dead inside A wrong man in a big bad land Where many a good man failed There's a man in the woods upon that hill Determined to be doing the right thing He's got a mission to fulfill now! 'Cos everyone's got the right to be a sucker once or twice But this here man has lost his count so long a go! That same ol' shit from day to day What purpose does he have to stay here Struggling one more day? Well, get away...get away... Them flies all buzzing round his neck And sweat is running down like hell While the sun is shining hotter than in ages! Black soul - Blue skies Cold sweat and dead inside A wrong man in a big bad land Where many a good man failed He goes alone... He goes by his own way... All alone in this vast land Where many a good man failed Now there's a man in the woods...just swinging in the rain They found him just today... And noone seems to know his name or his face... Black soul - Blue skies Cold sweat and dead inside Just a man in a big bad land Where many a good man failed They go alone...From cradle to their graves... Every day in this vast land Where many a good man failed 05. Black Java
I don't wanna wake up in the morning
And find myself in a world of shit... Don't wanna wake up in the morning It's a different day but the same ol' shit... Now you might think that it's a fuckin' joke But I gotta live with it every day of my life! I don't wanna have me another cup But I still need to get my fix... - Yeah, I gotta get my kicks Though it burns a hole in my stomach And a t times it makes me feel so fuckin' sick... - But I still need to get my fix Now you might think that it's a fuckin' joke But I gotta live with it every day of my life! Now you might think that it's a fuckin' joke But I gotta live with it every day of my life! (I said it once, and I'll say it again now...) Now you might think that it's a fuckin' joke But I gotta live! 06. Sanguinary Blues
Woe to thee... Children of the Night
Hear the sweetest music playing in your mind? Who hath "The Understanding"? Who knows "The Final Truth"? Couldn't care much less no more... So go and waste your youth 'Cause some were born to win and some they live to lose! Some live like they were kings but they are only fools! (damn fools) The train kept a-rollin' 'til the bitter end Dropped you down at a Dead-End Station to your Living Hell Can you see the light at the end of your tunnel? Or at the end of your rainbow... Is there a treasure there at all? 'Cause some were born to win and some they live to lose! Some live just by their will while some are slaves for rules! (no rules) But there's one thing you can't choose... Got the Sanguinary Blues! [Lead - MV] So it goes... when you walk that road Your story has been told before millennia ago Remember that ol' tale about them Crossroads? Well, take a look in your heart and you'll know that it's true! And what about those scars in your arms? Go on - Come now - Just do it, son!!! 'Cause some were born to win and some they live to lose! Some live like they were kings but they are only fools! (you lose) Yet this one thing you can't choose... Got the Sanguinary Blues! [Lead - MV] The train kept a-rollin'... |
