Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Wild God - 专辑歌词与曲目

[Verse 1]

I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head

I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head

I felt like someone in my family was dead

 

[Verse 2]

I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees

I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees

Called out all around me, said, "Have mercy on me, please"

"Have mercy on me, please"

 

[Verse 3]

And over by the window, the voice came low and hollow

Over by the window, a voice came low and hollow

Spoke into my pain, into my yearning sorrow

Spoke into my pain

 

[Verse 4]

"Who was it?" I cried, "What wild ghost has come in agitation?"

"Who is it?" I cried, "What wild ghost has come in agitation?

"It’s half past midnight! Oh, why you disturb me so late?"

 

[Verse 5]

Then I saw a movement

Then I saw a movement around

Then I saw a movement around my narrow bed

I saw a movement around my narrow bed

Oh, a ghost in giant sneakers, laughing, stars around his head

Have mercy on me

 

 

[Verse 6]

Sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy

Who sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy

He said, "We’ve all had too much sorrow, now is the time for joy"

 

[Verse 7]

And all across the world, they shout bad words, they shout angry words

All across the world, they shout out their angry words

About the end of love, yet the stars stand above the earth

 

[Verse 8]

Bright, triumphant metaphors of love

Bright, triumphant metaphors of love

Blind us all who care to stand and look beyond and care to stand and look beyond above

 

[Verse 9]

And I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees

I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees

I called all around me, said, "Have mercy on me, please"

"Have mercy on me, please"

"Have mercy on me, please"

"God have mercy on me, please"

 

[Outro]

For joy, for joy, for joy

For joy, for joy, for joy

Jumping for joy

For joy, for joy, for joy

For joy, for joy, for joy

Oh, for joy

Oh, have mercy on me, please

Joy, joy, joy

[Verse 1]

I told my friends that life was sweet

I told my friends that life was very sweet

And the cinnamon horses

In the turpentine trees

 

[Verse 2]

I told my friends some things were good

That love would endure if it could

And the cinnamon horses

Stroll through the castle ruins

 

[Verse 3]

I said we can’t love someone

Without hurting someone

And a dozen white vampires

Under a strawberry moon

 

[Chorus]

You said that

You said that

You said that, oh

You said that

You said that

A strawberry moon

 

 

[Verse 4]

'Cause love asks for nothing

But love costs everything

And the cinnamon horses

Dance benеath a strawberry moon

 

[Verse 5]

I said we should not hurt one anothеr

Still we hurt one another

And a dozen white vampires

Sun themselves in the castle ruins

 

[Chorus]

You said that

You said that

You said that, oh

You said that

You said that

You said that, oh

 

[Verse 6]

I told my friends that life was sweet

I told my friends life was very sweet

 

[Chorus]

You said that

You said that

In the castle ruins

 

 

[Verse 7]

I told my friends that life was good

That love would endure if it could

 

[Chorus]

You said that

You said that

You said that, oh

You said that

You said that

You said that, oh

You said that

You said that

You said that, oh

You said that

You said that

You said that, ooh

[Verse]

She sits at the window

Her hands folded in her sleeping lap

As He steps from the tomb

In His rags and His wounds

Into the yellow light that streams

Through the window, He brings

 

[Chorus]

Peace and good tidings to the land

Peace and good tidings to the land

And as the waters cover the sea

And as you wake and turn to me

Peace and good tidings He will bring

Good tidings to all things
