I woke up this morning
I thought what am I doing here? My brother he starts raging! Watch him rising see him howling! And he sucked her and sucked her dry And he bit at me and said goodbye Up on the twenty-ninth floor I was lying there with just my brother We could hear someone rattling the locks I was lying there with just my brother Do you think that it might be the cops? I was a Mickey Mouse. He was a Big Bad Wolf! And he sucked her and he sucked her dry Next thing you know I'm looking down below See a lupine child With her hair on fire Little burning girl! Looking up at me! Running to the elevator! Getting in the elevator! Sixth floor! Seventh floor! Eight floor! Nine! Come on baby Blow my mind! I woke up this morning and he was gone There were posters in the airports and the stations We took shelter under her body We sucked her and sucked her dry He kissed me and said goodbye Well no time at all She's walking down the hall A bat-faced girl With dynamite curls Ringing the bell Banging on the door Looking up at me Walking like a travelator Jumping in the elevator Twenty-two! Twenty-four! Twenty-six! Twenty-nine! Come on baby Blow my mind! 02. Worm Tamer Music by Grinderman Lyrics by Nick Cave
You know they call my girl the Snake Charmer
Here she comes rising with the yellow dawn You know I would do nothing to ever harm her I guess that I've just loved you for too long You know they call my girl the Worm Tamer She cracks lightning like a viper's tongue She leaves me every night and who could blame her I guess that I've just loved you for too long For too long! You know they call my girl the Serpent Wrangler Eating inchworms down by the bill-a-bong I spent all last night trying to untangle her I guess that I've loved you for too long You know they call my baby the Mambo Rider I cry storms of tears till the rising of the dawn You know I'm only happy when I'm inside her I guess that I've just loved you for too long Well my baby calls me the Loch Ness Monster Two great big humps and then I'm gone But actually I am the Abominable Snowman I guess that I've loved you for too long 03. Heathen Child Music by Grinderman Lyrics by Nick Cave

When My Baby Comes Music by Grinderman Lyrics by Nick Cave
Thank God we don't get all our hurts at once
That would be a really bad thing When my baby comes Thank God we don't get all our olds at one time (Listen to me talking in my hospital gown!) When my baby comes Best thing about this place are the showers Worst thing is the visiting hours (Hey, careful of the carpet!) When my baby comes They had pistols and they had guns They threw me on the ground as they entered into me (I was only fifteen!) When my baby comes Just how long you gonna be, my baby? Until you come? She got hands as white as milk And weaves a web of spider's silk that glistens When my baby comes There is an ancient question behind her eyes That I can't even begin to describe (Hey, don't do that on the carpet!) When my baby comes Is there anyone out there wasted their lives? On booze drugs husbands wives and making money? When my baby comes They had pistols and they had guns My skirt above my head I was so much older When I crawled out from their mushroom cloud When my baby comes Just how long you gonna be, my baby? Until you come? When she come? When she come? 05. What I Know Music by Grinderman Lyrics by Nick Cave

Evil Music by Grinderman Lyrics by Nick Cave
O baby baby baby!
Who needs the stars? You are my Star! Who needs the moon? You are my moon! O baby baby baby! Cling to me baby in this rented room Who needs the TV? You are my TV! Who needs a record player? You are my record player! O cling to me baby in this rented room! Hear the ringing on the telephone A voice from a hundred miles away Its breath is heavy and you're all alone It's got something that it wants to say It's got something that it wants to say Its breath is heavy and you're all alone A voice so clear you can feel its breath Coming down the telephone O my precious baby Now it is the time that we must speak They have divided us from our children And they've tossed them on the heap Who needs children? You are my child! Who needs children? My little lamb! Who needs children? You are my child! Crying like a demon in your daddy's arms! O cling to me baby in this broken dream You are the moon! Who needs the moon? You are the stars! Who needs the stars? O cling to me little baby in this broken dream And let me protect you from this evil 07. Kitchenette Music by Grinderman Lyrics by Nick Cave
I keep hanging around your kitchenette
And I'm gonna get a pot to cook you in I stick my fingers in your biscuit jar And crush all your Gingerbread Men 'Cause I want you Yeah I want you to be my friend Yeah I want you Yeah I wanna be your solitary man Try not to wake the executioner He's sleeping with a fireman's axe He leaves his glass eye on the pillow babe And his dentures floating there in a glass He makes it hard to relax He makes it hard to relax When i want you When i want you to be my friend What's this husband of yours ever given to you Oprah Winfrey on a plasma screen And a brood of junky buck-toothed imbeciles The ugliest fucking kids I've ever seen Oh baby I want you Yeah I want you to be my girlfriend Now will you send those kids to play down the street And shouldn't you, shouldn't you put shoes on their feet? It's getting hard to relax It's getting hard to relax I can see that you don't really dig him And I can see that you want it to quit But if you want to get your hand out of the cookie jar You're gonna have to let go of the biscuit 08. Palaces Of Montezuma Music by Grinderman Lyrics by Nick Cave
Psychedelic invocations
Of Mata Hari at the station I give to you A Java princess of Hindu Birth A woman of flesh a child of earth I give to you The hanging gardens of Babylon Miles Davis the black unicorn I give to you The Palaces of Montezuma And the Gardens of Akbar's tomb I give to you The spider Goddess and the Needle Boy The slave-dwarves they employ I give to you A custard-coloured super-dream Of Ali McGraw and Steve McQueen I give to you C'mon baby, let's get out of the cold And give me, give me, give me your precious love for me to hold The epic of Gilgamesh A pretty little black A-line dress I give to you The spinal cord of JFK Wrapped in Marilyn Monroe's negligee I give to you I want nothing in return Just the softest little breathless word I ask of you A word contained in a grain of sand That can barely walk can't even stand I ask of you Oh c'mon baby, let's get out of the cold And gimme gimme gimme your precious love for me to hold C'mon baby come out of the cold And gimme gimme gimme your precious love for me to hold 09. Bellringer Blues Music by Grinderman Lyrics by Nick Cave
I saw my old friend Gabriel
Down the perimeter ringing the bell I said hello Hey man is there something wrong? Where has everybody gone? I don't know Well I put a rag across my mouth And I went out What are you doing he said to me I'm looking for my company He said don't bother no Next thing you know I took a look Gabe was trying to sell me a book But i got no dough He said check it out it's going cheap Check it out it's going cheap Ok I'll give it a go I read that book every page And then I put it away Said I don't think so It makes slaves of all of womenkind And corpses of the men And I just don't know And we care a little bit We get scared a little bit Oа those two cold dead eyes That stare a little a bit And we cry a little bit And we get by a little bit Let your tears All come falling down Put me on a big white steed! Ride it it up and down your street! Wrapped up in a crimson coat! Sail me in a great big boat! I'll sail around the waters for you Kill your sons and daughters for you! Put me on a big white horse! Send me down to Banbury Cross! It's okay Joe it's time to go! |
