Nick Cave, Bright Horses







The bright horses have broken free from the fields

They are horses of love, their manes full of fire

They are parting the cities, those bright burning horses

And everyone is hiding, and no one makes a sound

And I'm by your side and I'm holding your hand

Bright horses of wonder springing from your burning hand



And everyone has a heart and it's calling for something

We're all so sick and tired of seeing things as they are

Horses are just horses and their manes aren't full of fire

The fields are just fields, and there ain't no Lord

And everyone is hidden, and everyone is cruel

And there's no shortage of tyrants, and no shortage of fools

And the little white shape dancing at the end of the hall

Is just a wish that time can't dissolve at all



Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, well, this world is plain to see

It don't mean we can't believe in something, and anyway

My baby's coming back now on the next train

I can hear the whistle blowing, I can hear the mighty roar

I can hear the horses prancing in the pastures of the Lord

Oh the train is coming, and I'm standing here to see

And it's bringing my baby right back to me

Well there are some things too hard to explain

But my baby's coming home now, on the 5.30 train

Nick Cave , Do You Love Me?



Onward and onward and onward I go Where no man before be bothered to go Till the soles of my shoes are shot full of holes And it's all downhill with a bullet This ramblin' and rovin' has taken it's course I'm grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses And the city streets crack and a great hole forces Me down, my soapbox, my pulpit The theater ceiling is silver star spangled And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? There's a man in the theater with girlish eyes Who's holdin' my childhood to ransom On the screen there's a death There's a rustle of cloth and a sickly voice callin' me handsome There's a man in the theater with sly girlish eyes On the screen there's an ape, a gorilla There's a groan, there's a cough, there's a rustle of cloth And a voice that stinks of death and vanilla This is a secret, mauled and mangled And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? The walls in the ceiling are painted in blood The lights go down, the red curtains come apart This air is full of smoke and dialog I know by heart And the coins in my pocket jingle-jangle As the great screen crackled and popped And the clock of my boyhood was wound down and stopped And my handsome little body oddly propped And my trousers right down to my ankles Yes, onward and upward And I'm off to find love Do you love me? If you do, I'm thankful Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? This city is an ogre squattin' by the river It gives life but it takes it away, my youth There comes a time when you just cannot deliver This is a fact, this is a stone cold truth Do you love me? I love you, handsome Do you love me? Yes, I love you, you are handsome Amongst the cogs and the wires, my youth Vanilla breath and handsome apes with girlish eyes Dreams that roam between truth and untruth Memories that become monstrous lies So onward and onward and onward I go Onward and upward and I'm off to find love With blue-black bracelets on my wrists and my ankles And the coins in my pocket goin' jingle-jangle Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me?

Nick Cave , Are You The One That I've Been Waiting For





I've felt you coming girl, as you drew near
I knew you'd find me, cause I longed you here
Are you my destiny? is this how you'll appear?
Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?
Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
As you've been moving surely toward me
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
And that all will be revealed
So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They're only little tears, darling, let them spill
And lay your head upon my shoulder
Outside my window the world has gone to war
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
O we will know, won't we?
The stars will explode in the sky
O but they don't, do they?
Stars have their moment and then they die

To Be By Your Side - Nick Cave

when i started lo listen to some of Nick Cave's songs i must say
i thought he is overdoing the rough voice, man in a bar at the end of the world
and rebel boy thing.
in the meantime i found i like  a lot of his songs...i do

ps: for readers, so , even if you are self educated a lot, like me,
it doesn't mean you cannot go on learning and finding more than you worked so hard for,
it is not all worth keeping. opinions were yesterday. now is now.

Nick Cave - Are you the one that i've been waiting for

i don't know if i waited before / but it could be i knew you and me,
maybe it was like that, i wouldn't know.
