    Nick Cave

    A Box For Black Paul


    Who'll build a box for Black Paul?
    Ah'm enquirin on behalf of his soul
    Ah'd be beholdin to ya all
    For a lil information, just a little indication
    Just who'll dig the hole?
    When ya done ransackin' his room
    grabbin any damn thing that shines,
    throw the scraps down on the street
    Like all his books and his notes.
    All his books and his notes and
    All the junk that he wrote
    the whole fucken lot right up in smoke
    Ain't there nuthin sacred anymore
    Won't someone will build a box for Black Paul?
    And their shootin off his guns
    and their shootin off their mouths
    saying 'Fuck with us ... and die!'
    'Fuck with us ... and die!'
    (Let's see that rat of fear go scuttle in their skulls)
    'Cover that eye! Cover that frozen eye!'


    Black-puppet, in a heap up against the stoning-wall
    Black-puppet, go to sleep, ma-ma won't scold ya anymore


    Armies of ants, wade up the lil red streams
    they're headin for the mother-pool
    O lord, it's cruel! O man it's hot! O man it's hot and
    And some of them ants they just climb to the spot
    Who threw the first stone at Black Paul?


    'Don't ask us', say the critics and the hacks
    The pen-pushers and the quacks
    'We jes cum to git dah facks!'
    'We jes cum to git dah facks!'
    Hey, hey, hey, hey...


    Here is the hammer, that built the scaffold,
    and built the box...
    Here is the shovel, that dug the hole,
    in this ground of rocks...
    And here is the pile of stones!
    and for each one planted, God only knows,
    a blood-rose grown...
    These are the true Demon-Flowers!
    These are the true Demon-Flowers!
    Stand back everyone! Blood-black everyone!


    Who'll build a box for Black Paul?
    Who'll carry it up the hill?


    'Not I', said the widow, adjusting her veil
    'Ah will not drive the nail
    Or cart his puppet-body home,
    For ah done that one hundred times before,
    Yeah! ah done that one hundred times or more,
    And why should ah dress his wounds?
    When he has wounded my dress, nightly,
    Right across the floor'


    Who'll build a box for Black Paul?
    Who'll carry it up the hill?
    Who'll bury it in the black-soil?
    And from the woods and the thickets
    Come the ghosts of his victims
    'We love you!'
    'Ah love you!'
    'and this will not hurt a bit,
    Outta my eyes was your rise to full glory Spring up from the corp(??) of life we'll go up, up, up, up, up into Death
    up, up, up, up, inhale its breath
    O yes, Death favours those that favor Death'


    Here is the stone, and this is the inscription it bare:
    'Below Lies Black Paul, Under The Upper...
    But Above and Beyond The Surface-Flat-Fall There.'


    And all the angels come on down,
    And all you men and women crowd around
    And all the old widows weeping into their skirts
    And all the lil gals and the lil Boys
    And the scribes with their pens poised
    All the hullaballoo, all the norse
    All the hullaballoo, all the noise
    All the hullaballoo, all of the noise
    clears his throat of black blood
    singin Black Paul like a lonely boy...


    We-e-e-ll, ah have cried one thousand tears
    Ah've cried a thousand tears, its true
    And the next stormy night you know,
    That ah'm still cryin them for you


    Well, ah had a gal she was so sweet,
    Red dress, and long red hair hangin down
    And heaven yes ain't heaven
    Without that lil girl hangin around


    Well, ya know ah've beenn a bad-man
    and Lord knows ah done some good things too
    But ah confess, my soul will never rest
    Until you've, until you've build
    Until you've built a box for my gal, too.
    my gal, too
    my gal, too

    Avalanche


    (Leonard Cohen)


    I stepped into an avalanche
    It covered up my soul
    When I am not this hunchback that you see
    I sleep beneath the golden hill
    You who wish to conquer pain
    You must learn to serve me well


    You strike my side by accident
    As you go down to your goal
    This cripple here that you clothe and feed
    Is neither starved nor cold
    He does not ask for your company
    Not at the centre, the centre of the world


    I who am on a pedestal
    You did not raise me there
    Your laws do not compel me now
    To kneel grotesque and bare
    For I myself am the pedestal
    For this ugly hump at which you stare


    You who wish to conquer pain
    You must learn what makes me kind
    The crumbs of love that you offer me
    Are the crumbs I've left behind
    Your pain is no credential here
    It's just a shadow of my wound


    I have begun to ask for you
    I who have no greed
    I have begun to long for you
    I who have no need
    You say you've gone away from me
    But I can feel you when you breathe


    Do not dress in those rags for me
    I know you are not poor
    And do not love me quite so fiercely now
    When you know that you are not sure
    It is your turn, my beloved one
    It is your flesh that I wear

    Nick Cave

    Cabin Fever!


    The Captain's fore-arm like bunched-up rope
    with A-N-I-T-A wrigglin' free on a skull'n'dagger
    and a portrait of Christ, nailed to an anchor
    etched into his upper...
    O o o' Cabin Fever!
    O o o' Cabin Fever!
    Slams his fucken tin-dish down
    Our Captain, takes time to crush
    Some Bloo-Bottles glowin in his gruel
    with a lump in his throat, and lumpy mush
    Thumbing a scrapbook stuck up with clag
    and a morbid lump of Love in his flags.
    Done is the Missing, now all that remain
    Is to sail forever, upon the stain
    Cabin Fever! O o o' Cabin Fever!


    The captain's free-hand is a cleaver
    which he fashions his beard, n' he rations his jerkey!
    and carves his peg outa the finest mahagony!
    Or was it Ebony? etc...


    Tallies up his loneliness, notch by notch
    For the sea offers nuthin to hold or touch
    Notch by notch, winter by winter
    Notch x notch, winter x winter


    Now his leg is whittled, right down to a splinter
    O o Cabin Fever! O o o Cabin Fever!
    O the rollin sea still rollin on!
    She's everywhere! now that she's gone! Gone! Gone!
    O Cabin Fever! O Cabin Fever!


    Welcome to his table, Beloved-Unconscious
    Raisin her host of hair from her crooks
    and strugglin to summony one of her looks!
    His arm now like coiled s-s-s-snakes
    Whips all the bottles that he's drunken,
    like crystal - skittles about the cabin,
    of a ship they'd been sailing


    Five years sunken... etc...

    From Her To Eternity



    Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
    You know, she lives in room 29
    Why... Why... that's the one right up top a mine
    Ah start to cry, Ah start to cry


    O Ah hear her walkin'
    Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards
    All thru this lonesome night
    Ah hear her crying too.
    Hot-tears come splashin on down
    Leaking thru the cracks,
    Down upon my face, Ah catch'em in my mouth!
    Ah catch'em in my mouth!
    Ah catch'em in my mouth!
    Walk'n'cry Walk'n'cry-y!!!


    From her to eternity!
    From her to eternity!
    From her to eternity!


    Ah read her diary on her sheets
    Scrutinizin' every lil bit of dirt
    Tore out a page'n'stufft it inside my shirt
    Fled outa the window,
    And shinning it down the vine
    Outa her night-mare, and back into mine
    Mine! O Mine!


    From her to eternity!
    From her to eternity!
    From her to eternity!
    Cry! Cry! CRY!


    She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
    and standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
    Listen, Ah know it must sound absurd
    but Ah can hear the most melancholy sound
    Ah ever heard!
    Walk'n'cry! Kneel'n'cry-y!


    From her to eternity!
    From her to eternity!


    O tell me why? O tell me why?
    Oh Why? Why? Why?
    O tell me why and don't tell me a lie!
    Why the ceiling still shakes? Shakes! Shakes! Shakes!
    Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?


    This desire to possess her is a wound
    and its naggin at me like a shrew
    but, Ah know, that to possess her
    Is, therefore, not to desire her.


    O o o then ya know, that lil girl would just have to go!
    Go! Go-o-o! From her to eternity!


    From her to eternity! [Repeat]

    In The Ghetto


    (M. Davies)


    As the snow flies
    On a cold and grey Chicago morn
    A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto


    And his mama cries
    Cause there's one thing that she don't need
    Is another little hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto


    Oh people don't you understand
    This child needs a helping hand
    He's gonna grow to be an angry young man some day
    Take a look at you and me
    Are we that blind to see?
    Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?


    And the world turns
    And the hungry little boy with the runny nose
    Plays in the streets as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
    And his hunger burns
    So he starts to roam the streets at night
    And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto


    Then one night in desperation
    The young man breaks away
    He buys a gun and steals a car
    He tries to run but he don't get far
    And his mama cries
    A crowd gathers round an angry young man
    Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto


    Oh people don't you understand
    This child needs a helping hand
    He's gonna grow to be an angry young man some day
    Take a look at you and me
    Are we that blind to see?
    Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?


    And as her young man dies
    On a cold and grey Chicago morn
    Another little baby child is born in the ghetto

    Nick Cave

    Saint Huck



    Born of the river,
    Born of its ever-changing, never-changing murky water
    Oh riverboat just rollin' along through the great great greasy city Huck standing like a Saint, upon its deck
    If ya wanna catch a Saint,
    then bait ya hook, let's take a walk...


    'O come to me!, O come to me!' is what the dirty city
    say to Huck... HUCK


    woah-woah, woah woah!
    woah-woah, woah woah!
    Saint Huck! Huck!


    Straight in the arms of the city goes Huck,
    down the beckonin' streets of op-po-tunity
    whistling his favorite river-song...
    And a bad-blind nigger at the piano
    Buts a sinister blooo lilt into that sing-a-long
    Huck senses somthing's wrong!


    Sirens wail in the city,
    and lil-Ulysses turn to putty
    and Ol Man River's got a bone to pick!
    and our boy's hardly got a bone to suck!
    He go, woah-woah, woah woah!
    woah-woah, woah woah!
    Saint Huck! Huck!


    The mo-o-o-on, its huge cycloptic eye
    watches the city streets contract
    twist and cripple and crack.
    Saint Huck goes on a dog's-leg now
    Saint Huck goes on a dog's-leg now


    You know the story!
    Ya wake up one morning and you find you're a thug
    blowing smoke rings in some dive
    Ya fingers hot and itchin, ya cracking ya knuckles
    Ya bull neck bristling...
    Still Huck he ventures on whistling,
    and Death reckons Huckleberry's time is up,
    O woah woah woah!
    Saint Huck!
    O woah woah woah!
    Saint Huck! Huck!


    Yonder go Huck, minus pocket-watch an' wallet gone
    Skin shrink-wraps his skeleton
    No wonder he gets thinner, what with his cold'n'skinny dinners!
    Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis, Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis
    O you recall the song ya used to sing-a-long
    Shifting the river-trade on that ol' steamer
    Life is but a dream!


    But ya traded in the Mighty ol' man River
    for the Dirty ol' Man Latrine!
    The brothel shift
    The hustle'n'the bustle and the green-backs rustle
    And all the sexy-cash
    And the randy-cars
    And the two dollar fucks
    O o o ya outa luck, ya outa luck
    Woah-woah-woah-woah
    Saint Huck! Huck!


    This is the track of deception
    leads to the heart of despair
    Huck whistles like he just don't care
    but in the pocket of the jacket is a chamber
    Lead pellets sleeps in there
    Wake Up!


    Now Huck whistles and he kneels
    and he lays down there
    See ya huck, good luck
    A smoke ring hovers above his head
    And the rats and the dogs and the men all come
    and put a bullet through his eye
    and the drip and the drip and the drip of the Mississippi cryin'
    And Saint Huck hears his own Mississippi just rollin' by him
    Woah-woah-woah-woah
    Woah-woah-woah-woah
    Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck!
    Woah-woah-woah-woah
    Woah-woah-woah-woah
    Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck!
    Woah-woah-woah-woah

    Nick Cave

    The Moon Is In The Gutter



    The moon is in the gutter
    And the stars wash down the sink
    I am the king of the blues
    I scape the clay off my shoes
    And wade down the gutter and the moon


    The moon blinds my eye with opal cataracts
    As I cut through the saw-mills and the stacks,
    Leaping over the gully where I would one day take Lucy
    Then wash up my hands in the gutter and the moon.


    Such a long way from home, just me and
    The moon is in the gutter
    All my plans are flushed down the drain
    I wander lonely as a cloud
    Over memories at her mound
    Then lie down in the bitter gutter moon.

    Well Of Misery



    Along crags and sunless cracks I go
    Up rib of rock, donw spine of stone
    I dare not slumber where the night winds whistle
    Lest her creeping-soul clutch this heart of thistle


    O the same God that abandon'd her
    Has in turn abandon'd me
    And softenin' the turf with my tears
    I dug a Well of Misery


    And, in that Well of Misery
    Hangs a bucket fulla Sorrow
    It swings slow an' achin' like a bell
    Its toll is dead and hollow


    Down that well lies the long-lost dress
    of my lil floatin girl
    That muffles a tear that you let fall
    All down that Well of Misery


    Put ya shoulder to the handle, if ya dare
    and hoist that bucket, hither
    Lord, crank'n'hoist'n'hoist'n'crank
    Till ya muscles waste'n'wither


    O the same God that abandon'd her
    Has in turn abandon'd me
    Deep in the Desert of Despair
    I wait at the Well of Misery

    Wings Off Flies


    She loves me, she loves me not
    She loves me, she loves me not
    She loves me, she loves me not
    We-e-ll, ah've spent seven days and seven nights
    tryin to get sunk in this brine
    Don't turn on ya water-works
    'cause ah got me a pair of water-wings, right?!


    Insects suicide against the window,
    and my heart goes out to those lil flies
    There's a buzzin in my ear
    but it's more of her black-mail, ham shakespeare + lies
    Wings off Flies, She loves me, she loves me not.
    O o o o oh she loves me not!!


    Lord, Ah've discovered the recipe of Heaven
    ya git solitude and ya mix with sanctuary and silence,
    then bake it!
    Listen, I plead guilty to misanthropy
    so hang me! Ah'd appreciate it!!
    Witness her gate-crash my tiny hell
    with some obscene t¨ºte-¨¤-t¨ºte,
    If ya wanna talk to me about Love'n'Pain
    consult my ulcer, it'd be happy to co-operate
    Wings off Flies, she loves me, loves me not
    Uh hey, Joe! Another outa do the job.


    Time to drown our lil fire, ya can keep the ashes,
    Now bye bye, bye, bye, see ya in a pigs eye!
    Ah will be one, in need of no-one
    In this, my deepest dive...
    Fill'er up, Joe...


    Hey! Ah am obliged! Ah am olbiged!
    Wings off Flies, She loves me, she loves me not
    Wings off Flies etc... ad infinitum


    Welcome the solitary flyer ya
    see it land on the rim of my glass
    it's going around and around and around
    look I just don't have the heart to hurt a fly
    I grabbed it in my paw
    snatched it up
    and then I held it to my ear could hear it scream
    could hear it scream and scream and scream
    till it screamed not...
    Hey Joe, ya know anything about this scream?

    Black Crow King



    Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm
    I am the black crow king
    Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm
    I am the black crow king
    Keeper of the nodding corn
    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
    All the hammers are a-talking
    All the nails are a-singing
    So sweet and low


    You can hear it in the valley
    Where live the lame and the blind
    They climb the hill out of its belly
    They leave with mean black boots on


    "I just made a simple gesture
    They jumped up and nailed it to my shadow
    My gesture was a hooker
    You know, my shadow's made of timber."


    And the storm is a-rolling
    And the storm is a-rolling
    All down on me


    And I'm still here rolling after everybody's gone
    And I'm still here rolling after everybody's gone
    Ah'm still here rolling and I'm left on my own
    The blackbirds have all gone!
    Everyone's rolled on!


    I am the black crow king
    Keeper of the trodden corn
    I am the king
    Won't say it again
    And the rain, it raineth daily
    Lord
    And wash away my clothes
    I surrender up my arms
    To a company of crows
    I am the black crow king
    I won't say it again


    And all the thorns are a-crowning
    King ruby on each spine
    And the spears are a-sailing
    O my o my


    And the storm is a-rolling
    And the storm is a-rolling
    All down on me


    And I'm still here rolling after everybody's gone
    And I'm still here rolling after everybody's gone
    I'm still here rolling and left on my own
    Those blackbirds they have all flown and
    I am on my own


    I am the black crow king
    Keeper of the forgotten corn
    The King! The King!
    I'm the king of nuthin' at all
    The hammers are a-talking
    The nails are a-singing
    The thorns are a-crowning him
    The spears are a-sailing
    The crows are a-mocking
    The corn is a-nodding
    The storm is a-rolling
    The storm is a-rolling
    The storm is a-rolling down
    The storm is a-rolling down
    The storm is a-rolling
    Down on me
    Rolling down on me
    Rolling down on me

    Blind Lemon Jefferson



    Blind Lemon Jefferson is a-coming
    Tap tap tappin with his cane
    Blind Lemon Jefferson is a-coming
    Tap tap tappin with his cane
    His last ditch lies down the road of trials
    Down the road of trials
    Half filled with rain


    O Sycamore, Sycamore!
    Stretch your arms across the storm
    Down fly two greasy brother-crows
    They hop'n'bop They hop'n'bop They hop'n'bop
    Like the tax-man come to call
    They go knock knock! Knock knock!
    Hop'n'bop hop'n'bop
    They slap a death-writ on his door


    Here come the Judgement train
    Git on board!
    And turn that big black engine home
    O let's roll!
    Let's roll!
    Down the tunnel
    The terrible tunnel of his world
    Waiting at his final station
    Like a bigger blacker third bird
    O let's roll!
    Let's roll!


    O his road is dark and lonely
    He don't drive no Cadillac
    O his road is dark and holy
    He don't drive no Cadillac
    If that sky serves as his eyes
    Then that moons a cataract


    Let's roll!
    Yeah let's roll!

    Knockin' On Joe



    These chains of sorrow, they are heavy, it is true
    And these locks cannot be broken,
    no, not with one thousand keys
    O Jailer, you drag a ball-n-chain you cannot see
    You can lay your burden on me
    You can lay your burden down on me
    You can lay your burden down upon me
    But you cannot lay down your memory


    Woooo wooo wooo
    Woooo wooo wooo
    Here I go!
    Knockin on Joe!
    This square foot of sky will be mine til I die
    Knocking on Joe
    Woooo wooo wooo
    All down the row
    Knockin on Joe


    O Warden I surrender to you
    Your fists can't hurt me anymore
    You know, these hands will never mop
    your dirty Death Row floors
    O Preacher, come closer, you don't scare me anymore
    Just tell Nancy not to come here
    Just tell her not to come here anymore
    Tell Nancy not to come
    And let me die in the memory of those arms


    O woo woo woo
    Woo woo woo
    All down the row
    Knockin on Joe
    O you kings of halls and ends of halls
    You will die within these walls
    And I'll go, down the row
    Knockin on Joe


    O Nancy's body is a coffin,
    she wears my tombstone at her head
    O Nancy's body is a coffin,
    she wears my tombstone at her head
    She wears her body like a coffin
    She wears a dress of gold and red
    She wears a dress of gold and red
    She wears a dress of red and gold
    Grave-looters at my coffin
    before my body's even cold


    It's a door for when I go
    Knockin on Joe
    These hands will never mop
    your dirty Death Row floors
    No! You can hide! You can run!
    O but your trial is yet to come
    O you can run! You can hide!
    But you have yet to be tried!
    You can lay your burdens down here
    You can lay your burden down
    Knockin on Joe
    You can lay your burden upon me
    You can lay your burden upon me
    Knockin on Joe
    You can lay it down here
    You can bring your burden down
    Knockin on Joe
    You can't hurt me anymore
    You can't hurt me anymore
    Knockin on Joe

    Say Goodbye To The Little Girl Tree



    O say goodbye to the little girl tree
    O you know that I must say goodbye
    To the little girl tree
    This wall I built around you
    Is made out of stone-lies
    O little girl the truth would be
    An axe in thee
    O father look to your daughter
    Brick of grief and stricken morter
    With this ring
    This silver hoop of wire
    I bind your maiden mainstem
    Just to keep you as a child


    O say goodbye to the little girl tree
    O you know that I must say goodbye
    To my little girl tree
    How fast your candy bones
    Reached out for me
    I must say goodbye to your brittle bones
    Crying out for me
    O you know that I must say goodbye
    O goodbye
    Even though you will betray me
    The very minute that I leave


    O say goodbye to the little girl tree
    O Lord you know that I must say goodbye
    To that little girl tree
    I rise up her girl-child lumps and slipping knots
    Into her laden boughs
    And amongst her roping limbs
    Like a swollen neck vein branching
    Into smaller lesser veins
    That must all just sing and say goodbye
    And let her blossom veils fly
    Her velvet gown
    Down down down
    Down down down
    Down down down and goodbye
    For you know that I must say goodbye


    To a rhythm softly tortured
    Of a motion back and forth
    Thats a rhythm sweetly tortured
    O that's the rhythm of the orchard
    And you know that I must say goodbye
    To that little girl tree
    O goodbye
    Yes goodbye
    For you know that I must die
    Down down down
    Down down down
    Down down down and goodbye
    For you know that I must die
    Yes you know that I must die
    O-o you know that I must die

    The Six Strings That Drew Blood



    Guitar thug blew into town
    His eyes like wheels spinnin' round
    Jerkin-off at every sound
    Layin' all his crosses down
    O yeah
    He got Six Strings
    The Six Strings that drew blood


    The bar is full of Holy-Joes
    A Holy-hole-a-whole-aria
    Around the neck of our consumptive rose
    is the root of all his sorrows
    O yeah
    He got Six Strings
    Six Strings that drew blood
    A Holy-hole-a-whole-aria
    Six Strings that drew blood


    In the bathroom under cover
    He turns on one tap to discover
    He's smashed his teeth out on the other
    Well he look in the mirror and say
    don't fuck me brother
    Cause I got Six Strings
    Six Strings that drew blood


    Numbin' the runt of reputation they call rat fame
    Top-E as a tourniquet
    A low tune whistles across his grave
    Forever the master and the slave of his Six Strings
    A Holy-hole-a-whole-aria
    Six Strings that drew blood.

    Wanted Man



    I'm a wanted man, wanted man...
    I'm wanted, I'm a wanted man...

    I'm a wanted man in California, I'm a wanted man in Buffalo
    I'm a wanted man in Kansas City, I'm a wanted man in Ohio
    I'm a wanted man in Mississippi, they want me in old Cheyenne
    Wherever you may look tonight, you will see this wanted man


    I might be in Colorado or Georgia by the sea,
    Working for some man who may not know at all who I might be
    If you ever see me comin' and you know justa who I am,
    Don't breathe a word to no one buddy, 'cause I'm a wanted man


    Wanted man in Albuquerque, wanted man in Syracuse,
    Wanted man in Tallahassee, wanted man in Baton Rouge,
    Wanted man in Arizona, wanted man in Galveston,
    Wanted man in El Dorado, this wanted man's in great demand


    If you ever catch me sleepin',
    just see the price flashin' 'bove my head,
    Well take look again my friend,
    that's a gun pointed at your head


    Wanted man by Lucy Watson, wanted man by Jesse Brown,
    Wanted man by Nellie Johnson, wanted man in this next town


    Wanted man by the Boller(?) Sisters,
    wanted man by Kid Callahan
    Hey Darlin' don't you tell me you don't want me,
    cause I'm a wanted man


    A wanted man who's lost his will to live,
    a wanted man who won't lay down,
    There's a woman kneelin' on my grave,
    pushin' daisies in the ground


    Wanted man in the Windy City, wanted man in Tennessee,
    Wanted man in Broken Arrow, wanted man in Wounded Knee
    Wanted man in Jackson Town, Wanted man in El Passo,
    I got bounties on my head in towns I wouldn't ever think to go

    If the Devil comes collectin',
    cause he doesn't know I'm a wanted man,
    he'd better wear a six gun on his hip
    and hold another in his hand


    If you love the wanted man,
    you best hold him while you can,
    cause you're gonna wake up one mornin'
    and find the man you wanted, he is gone


    Wanted man in New York City, wanted man in San Anton'
    Wanted man down in Lorado, wanted man in Tupelo
    Wanted man in the state of Texas, wanted man in the state of Maine
    This wanted man's in the state of leavin' ya baby,
    jumpin' on a midnight train


    Wanted man in every cat house, wanted man in a many saloons,
    Wanted man is a ghost in hundred homes, a shadow in a thousand rooms


    Wanted man down in St. Louis, wanted man in New Orleans
    Wanted man in Mussel(?) Bay, wanted man in Cripple Creek
    Wanted man in Detriot City, wanted man in San Anton'
    But there's one place I'm not wanted lord,
    it's the place that I call home


    Wanted man...
    Wanted man...
    If the devil comes collectin'
    he better hold a six gun in his hand

    Tupelo



    Looka yonder! Looka yonder!
    Looka yonder! A big black cloud come!
    A big black cloud come!
    O comes to Tupelo. Comes to Tupelo


    Yonder on the horizon
    Yonder on the horizon
    Stopped at the mighty river
    Stopped at the mighty river and
    Sucked the damn thing dry
    Tupelo-o-o, O Tupelo
    In a valley hides a town called Tupelo


    Distant thunder rumble. Distant thunder rumble
    Rumble hungry like the Beast
    The Beast it cometh, cometh down
    The Beast it cometh, cometh down
    Wo wo wo-o-o
    Tupelo bound. Tupelo-o-o. Yeah Tupelo
    The Beast it cometh, Tupelo bound


    Why the hen won't lay no egg
    Can't get that cock to crow
    The nag is spooked and crazy
    O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!
    O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!


    Ya can say these streets are rivers
    Ya can call these rivers streets
    Ya can tell ya self ya dreaming buddy
    But no sleep runs this deep
    No! No sleep runs this deep
    No sleep runs this deep
    Women at their windows
    Rain crashing on the pane
    Writing in the frost
    Tupelos' shame. Tupelo's shame
    O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!


    O go to sleep lil children
    The sandmans on his way
    O go to sleep lil children
    The sandmans in his way
    But the lil children know
    They listen to the beating of their blood
    listen to the beating of their blood
    listen to the beating of their blood
    listen to the beating of their blood
    They listen to the beating of their blood
    The sandman's mud!
    The sandman's mud!
    And the black rain come down
    the black rain come down
    the black rain come down
    Water water everywhere
    Where no bird can fly no fish can swim
    Where no bird can fly no fish can swim
    No fish can swim
    Until The King is born!
    Until The King is born!
    In Tupelo! Tupelo-o-o!
    Til The King is born in Tupelo!


    In a clap-board shack with a roof of tin
    Where the rain came down and leaked within
    A young mother frozen on a concrete floor
    With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
    Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo!
    With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw


    Well Saturday gives what Sunday steals
    And a child is born on his brothers heels
    Come Sunday morn the first-born dead
    In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red
    Tupelo-o-o! Hey Tupelo!
    In a shoebox buried with a ribbon of red


    O ma-ma rock you lil' one slow
    O ma-ma rock your baby
    O ma-ma rock your lil' one slow
    O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!
    Mama rock your lil' one slow
    The lil one will walk on Tupelo
    The lil one will walk on Tupelo
    Black rain come down, Black rain come down
    Tupelo-o-o! Yeah Tupelo!
    And carry the burden of Tupelo
    Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo! Yeah!
    The King will walk on Tupelo!
    Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo!
    He carried the burden outa Tupelo!
    Tupelo-o-o! Hey Tupelo! [Repeat]
    You will reap just what you sow

    All Tomorrow's Parties


    (Lou Reed)


    And what costume shall the poor girl wear
    To all tomorrow's parties
    A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
    To all tomorrow's parties


    And where will she go and what shall she do
    When midnight comes around
    She'll turn once more to Sunday's gown
    And cry behind the door


    And what costume shall the poor girl wear
    To all tomorrow's parties
    Why silks and plumes of yesterday's gowns
    To all tomorrow's parties


    And what shall she do with Thursday's rags
    When Monday comes around
    She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
    And cry behind the door


    And what costume shall the poor girl wear
    To all tomorrow's parties
    For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
    For whom none will go mourning


    A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
    Of rags and silks, a costume
    Fit for one who sits and cries
    For all tomorrow's parties

    By The Time I Get To Phoenix


    (J. Webb)


    By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising
    And she'll find that note that I left hanging on the door
    And she'll laugh when she reads the part
    That says: "I'm leaving"
    Cause I've left that girl so many times before


    And by the time I get to Albuquerque, she'll be working
    And she'll take off time just to give me a call
    And she'll hear that phone keep right on ringing and ringing
    On the wall, yeah oh, that's all


    And by the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping
    She'll turn softly in her sleep and call my name out low
    And then she'll cry just to think that I'd really leave her, I left her
    But time after time after time I tried to tell her so
    But she just didn't know That I would really go
    That I would really go

    I'm Gonna Kill That Woman


    (John Lee Hooker)


    Yeah, my baby left me this morning
    And I don't care now, I don't care what the people say


    Yeah, I did everything that I could, everything I could,
    Lord knows I did everything I could
    I tried to satisfy her worried mind, that's what I did


    You know she was nothing but trouble, trouble
    She keep me worried all the time
    God knows her movements are killing me


    Yeah, my baby stayed out all night long, all night long
    She keep me worried all the time


    Yeah, I lay down last night I was thinking
    Must I kill that woman? Must I kill that woman?
    Oh Lord I get down on my knees
    They tell me God forgivin' everything you do
    But I don't care what the people say
    I'm gonna kill that woman,
    I'm gonna kill that woman, God knows
    I'm gonna get down on my knees

    Jesus Met The Woman At The Well


    (Traditional, Arr. The Alabama Singers)


    Jesus met the woman at the well
    Jesus met the woman at the well
    And he told her, everything that she'd done, that she'd done


    And he said, woman, look-a here woman,
    Tell me where is your husband?
    She said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't have one


    He said, woman, look-a here woman,
    They tell me you have five husbands
    And that man you have now sure ain't one


    She went running, crying, God help me
    She said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you must be the prophet
    Because you told me everything that I've done

    Long Black Veil


    (D. Del, M. Wilkins)


    She walks these hills in a long black veil
    She visits my grave when the night winds wail
    Nobody knows, nobody sees
    Nobody knows but me


    Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
    Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light
    There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
    That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me


    The judge he said: Son, what is your alibi
    If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
    But I spoke not a word though it meant my life
    For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife


    Now the scaffold is high and eternity is near
    She stood in the crowd but shed not a tear
    But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
    In a long black veil she cries on my bones

    Muddy Water


    (J. Bundrick)


    Mary, grab the baby, the river's rising
    Muddy water taking back the land
    The old-frame house, she can't take-a one more beating
    Ain't no use to stay and make a stand


    Well the morning light shows water in the valley
    Daddy's grave just went below the line
    Things to say, you just can't take em with ya
    This flood will swallow all you've left behind


    Won't be back to start all over
    Cause what I felt before is gone


    Mary, take the child, the river's rising
    Muddy water taking back my home
    The road is gone, there's just one way to leave here
    Turn my back on what I've left below
    Shifting land, broken farms around me
    Muddy water's changing all I know


    It's hard to say just what I'm losing
    Ain't never felt so all alone


    Mary, take the child, the river's rising
    Muddy water taking back my home


    Won't be back to start all over
    Cause what I felt before is gone


    Mary, take the child, the river's rising
    Muddy water's changing all I know
    Muddy water's changing all I know
    Lord, this muddy water is taking back my home

    Running Scared


    (Orbison, Melson)


    Just running scared, each place we go
    So afraid, that he might show


    Yeah, running scared, what would I do
    If he came back and wanted you?


    Just running scared, feeling low
    Running scared that you love him so


    Just running scared, afraid to lose
    If he came back, which one would you choose?


    And then all at once, he was standing there
    So sure of himself, his head in the air
    While my heart was breaking, which one would it be?
    Then you turned round and walked right out on me

    Sleeping Analeah


    (Newbury, Folger)


    Yesterday the sun was shining but you're finding the sun it
    Don't shine all the time
    A winter day suddenly came your way
    And you ran into your mind


    Sleeping Analeah, Weeping Analeah
    Do you think you're ready for me?


    Oh and yesterday is gone forever and ever, never
    To be again
    You looked for the sunshine, that brought warmth to your mind
    But find only rain


    Sleeping Analeah, Weeping Analeah
    No, you're not ready for me


    But when yesterday becomes a memory, a memory
    That we uncovered in time
    If you still remember that cold September
    I reigned in your mind


    Sleeping Analeah, Weeping Analeah
    Then you'd be ready for me

    Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart


    (Greenaway, Cooke)


    Something's gotten hold of my heart
    Keeping my soul and my senses apart
    Something's gotten into my life
    Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
    Turning me up and turning me down
    Making me smile and making me frown


    In a world that was small
    I once lived in a time there was peace with no trouble at all
    But then you came my way
    And a feeling unknown shook my heart, made me want you to stay
    All of my nights and all of my days


    I gotta tell you now
    Something's gotten hold of my hand
    Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
    Something has invaded my nights
    Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
    Changing the grey and changing the blue
    Scarlet for me and scarlet for you


    I've got to know if this is the real thing
    I've got to know what's making my heart sing
    You smile and I am lost for a lifetime
    Each minute spent with you is the right time
    Every hour, every day
    You touch me and my mind goes astray

    The Carnival Is Over



    (T. Springfield, F. Farian)


    Say goodbye, my one true lover
    And we'll steal a lover's song
    How it breaks my heart to leave you
    Now the carnival has gone


    Oh my love, the dawn is breaking
    And my tears are falling rain
    For the carnival is over
    We may never meet again


    Like a drum my heart was beating
    And your kiss was sweet as wine
    But the joys of love are fleeting
    For Pierrot and Columbine


    Now the cloak of night is falling
    This will be our last goodbye
    Though the carnival is over
    I will love you till I die
