Nick Cave lyrics Song Of Joy lyrics Have mercy on me, sir Allow me to impose on you I have no place to stay And my bones are cold right through I will tell you a story Of a man and his family And I swear that it is true Ten years ago I met a girl named Joy She was a sweet and happy thing Her eyes were bright blue jewels And we were married in the spring I had no idea what happiness and little love could bring Or what life had in store But all things move toward their end All things move toward their their end On that you can be sure La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la Then one morning I awoke to find her weeping And for many days to follow She grew so sad and lonely Became Joy in name only Within her breast there launched an unnamed sorrow And a dark and grim force set sail Farewell happy fields Where joy forever dwells * Hail horrors hail * Was it an act of contrition or some awful premonition As if she saw into the heart of her final blood-soaked night Those lunatic eyes, that hungry kitchen knife Ah, I see sir, that I have your attention! Well, could it be How often I've asked that question Well, then in quick succession We had babies, one, two, three We called them Hilda, Hattie and Holly They were their mother's children Their eyes were bright blue jewels And they were quiet as a mouse There was no laughter in the house No, not from Hilda, Hattie or Holly "No wonder", people said, "poor mother Joy's so melancholy" Well, one night there came a visitor to our little home I was visiting a sick friend I was a doctor then Joy and the girls were on their own La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la Joy had been bound with electrical tape In her mouth a gag She'd been stabbed repeatedly And stuffed into a sleeping bag In their very cots my girls were robbed of their lives Method of murder much the same as my wife's Method of murder much the same as my wife's It was midnight when I arrived home Said to the police on the telephone Someone's taken four innocent lives They never caught the man He's still on the loose It seems he has done many many more Quotes John Milton on the walls in the victim's blood The police are investigating at tremendous cost In my house he wrote "his red right hand" That, I'm told is from Paradise Lost The wind round here gets wicked cold But my story is nearly told I fear the morning will bring quite a frost And so I've left my home I drift from land to land I am upon your step and you are a family man Outside the vultures wheel The wolves howl, the serpents hiss And to extend this small favour, friend Would be the sum of earthly bliss Do you reckon me a friend The sun to me is dark And silent as the moon Do you, sir, have a room Are you beckoning me in La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la Other Nick Cave lyrics: Stagger Lee lyrics Henry Lee lyrics Lovely Creature lyrics Where The Wild Roses Grow lyrics The Curse Of Millhaven lyrics The Kindness Of Strangers lyrics Crow Jane lyrics O'Malley's Bar lyrics Death Is Not The End lyrics Into My Arms lyrics I Do Love Her So (Lime Tree Arbour) lyrics People Ain't No Good lyrics Brompton Oratory lyrics There Is a Kingdom lyrics Are You The One That I've Been Waiting For? lyrics Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere lyrics West Country Girl lyrics Black Hair lyrics Idiot Prayer lyrics Far From Me lyrics Green Eyes lyrics Come Into My Sleep lyrics Babe, I Got You Bad lyrics Right Now I'm A-roaming lyrics Little Empty Boat lyrics Knoxville Girl lyrics King Kong Kitchee Kitchee Ki-Mi-O lyrics The Willow Garden lyrics |
