"INTO MY ARMS"
NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS



I don’t believe in an interventionist god
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Oh, not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are
If he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, o lord
Into my arms, o lord
Into my arms, o lord
Into my arms

And I don’t believe in the existence of angels
Looking at you I wonder if that’s true
But if I did I would summon them together
Ask them to watch over you
Oh, to each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, o lord
Into my arms, o lord
Into my arms, o lord
Into my arms

But I believe in love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
Make her journey bright and pure
That she'll keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, o lord
Into my arms, o lord
Into my arms, o lord
Into my arms

To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candle burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

"HIGGS BOSON BLUES"
NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS



Can't remember anything at all
Flame trees line the streets
Can't remember anything at all
But I'm driving my car down to Geneva
I been sitting in my basement patio
Aye it was hot up above
Girls walk past, the roses all in bloom
Have you ever heard about the Higgs Boson Blues?
I'm going down to Geneva, baby
Gonna teach it to you
Who cares? Who cares what the future brings?

Black road long and I drove and drove
And came upon a crossroad
The night was hot and black
I see Robert Johnson with a 10-dollar guitar
Strapped to his back looking for a tomb
Well here comes Lucifer with his canon law
And a hundred black babies running from his genocidal jaw
He got the real killer groove
Robert Johnson and the devil, man
Don't know who is gonna rip off who
Driving my car, flame trees on fire
Sitting and singing the Higgs Boson Blues

I'm tired, I'm looking for a spot to drop
All the clocks have stopped
In Memphis now in the Lorraine Motel
It's hot, it's hot - that's why they call it the Hot Spot
I'll take a room with a view
Hear a man preaching in a language that's completely new
Making the hot cocks in the flophouse bleed
While the cleaning ladies sob into their mops
And a bellhop hops and bops
A shot rings out to a spiritual groove
Everybody bleeding to that Higgs Boson Blues

If I die tonight, bury me
In my favorite yellow patent leather shoes
With a mummified cat and a cone-like hat
That the caliphate forced on the Jews
Can you feel my heartbeat?
Can you feel my heartbeat?

Hannah Montana does the African Savannah
As the simulated rainy season begins
She curses the queue at the Zulus
And moves on to Amazonia
And cries with the dolphins
Mau Mau ate the pygmy
The pygmy ate the monkey
The monkey has a gift that he is sending back to you
Look here comes the missionary
With his smallpox and flu
He's saving them, the savages
With the Higgs Boson Blues
I'm driving my car down to Geneva
I'm driving my car down to Geneva

Oh let the damn day break
The rainy days always make me sad
Miley Cyrus floats in a swimming pool in Toluca Lake
And you're the best girl I've ever had
Can't remember anything at all

"JUBILEE STREET"
NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS



On Jubilee Street there was a girl named Bee
She had a history, but she had no past
When they shut her down, the Russians moved in
Now I'm too scared, I'm too scared to even walk on past
She used to say all those good people down on Jubilee Street
They ought to practice what they preach
Yea they ought to practice just what they preach
Those good people on Jubilee Street

And here I come up the hill, I'm pushing my wheel of love
I got love in my tummy and a tiny little pain
And a ten-ton catastrophe on a sixty-pound chain
And I'm pushing my wheel of love up on Jubilee Street
Ah look at me now

The problem was she had a little black book
And my name was written on every page
Well, a girl's got to make ends meet
Even down on Jubilee Street
I was out of place and time
And over the hill and out of my mind
On Jubilee Street
I ought to practice what I preach
These days I go downtown in my tie and tails
I got a foetus on a leash

I am alone now
I am beyond recriminations
Curtains are shut
The furniture has gone
I am transforming
I am vibrating
I'm glowing
I'm flying
Look at me now
I'm flying
Look at me now

"SCAR BENEATH THE SKIN"
BLANCHE



A thousand pieces on the floor
Don't know which puzzle they are for
You can stare at them all day
Or sweep them in the bin and pray

Memory that used to burn so bad
Is giving in
Now the one that made me sad
Is just a scar beneath my skin

A hundred song birds fill our tree
None of them would sing for me
While my darling was away
She came home that lovely day

Memory that used to burn so bad
Is giving in
Now the one that made me sad
Is just a scar beneath my skin

Floor boards creaking once again
Each morning when your day begins
Brittle branches, sprouted leaves
Wind chimes swaying in the breeze

Memory that used to burn so bad
Is giving in
Now the one that made me sad
Is just a scar beneath my skin

It's just a scar beneath the skin
It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away

"EL GUARDA FORESTAL"
PONY BRAVO



El guarda forestal,
que siempre está pendiente del fuego,
conoce bien la verdad,
sabe qué hacer si de repente
todo empieza a arder.

Y cuando salga el sol,
cuando salga el sol,
ya no habrá fuego,
será el salvador
del bosque entero.

Si en el bosque él ve una luz,
es que hay fuego en el sur,
sabe dónde estás tú.
Si en el bosque él ve una luz,
es que hay fuego en el sur,
sabe dónde estás tú.

El guardabosques es quien lo sabe hacer,
el guardabosques es quien lo sabe bien.
El guardabosques es quien lo sabe hacer,
el guardabosques es quien lo sabe bien.

El guarda forestal
que siempre está pendiente del fuego,
cuando huele a sudor, él ve furtivos,
cuando huele a sudor, es que hay furtivos.

El guardabosques es quien lo sabe hacer,
el guardabosques es quien lo sabe bien.

Será el explorador de tus valles más profundos
haga frío o haga calor,
haga frío o haga calor.

El guardabosques es quien lo sabe hacer,
el guardabosques es quien lo sabe bien.

"GAME SHOWS"
PLANTS AND ANIMALS



Riding on that high, buzzing and talking loud
All night long, all night long.
And now I’m losing my ground
Please now, take me home.
I’m crashed out, and I’m gone, and leave me alone.
I am broken, and take me
watching game shows,
big highs and big lows, loneliness blows.

And you come on home, it’s been a long day
And sit down with me, and we watch TV.
It’s not that good a show.
And we lose ourselves to each other it’s good, it so easy.
It’s good, it’s easy.
It’s so good, it’s so easy.

Watching game shows,
big highs and big lows, loneliness blows.

"WE GATHERED IN SPRING"
MIDLAKE



I'm tired of being here
On this hill
No one lives to be three hundred years
Like the way it used to be

I think they were giants
I think they were giants

On this hill, nothing grows except greed
You will stay to finish your work
As long as need be
As long as need be

On a clear day
I can see my old house
And my wife in the front yard
Talking with the friends
 We gathered in spring
We gathered in spring
We gathered in spring
We gathered in spring

I'm tired of being here
On this hill
Where I'm sure to find my last meal
No one lives to be three hundred years

On a clear day
I can see my old house
And my wife in the front yard
Talking with the friends

 We gathered in spring
We gathered in spring
We gathered in spring
We gathered in spring

"YOUNG AND INNOCENT DAYS"
THE KINKS



I look back at the way I used to look at life
Soft, white dreams with sugar coated outside
It was great, so great
Young and innocent days
I wish my eyes could only see
Everything, exactly as it used to be
It's too late, so late
Young and innocent days
I see the lines across your face
Time has gone and nothing ever can replace
Those great, so great
Young and innocent days
