Oh My Lord - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

[00:00.000] 作词 : Cave
[00:00.803]I thought I'd take a walk today
[00:04.747]It's a mistake I sometimes make
[00:08.791]Kids lay asleep in bed
[00:12.657]My wife lay wide-awake
[00:16.729]I kissed her softly on the brow
[00:21.121]I tried not to make a sound
[00:24.943]But with stony eyes she looked at me
[00:28.860]And gently squeezed my hand
[00:33.238]Call it a premonition
[00:36.864]Call it a crazy vision
[00:40.581]Call it intuition
[00:44.095]Something learned from mother
[00:48.070]But when she looked up at me
[00:52.208]I could clearly see
[00:55.225]The Sword of Damocles
[00:58.692]Hanging directly above her
[01:05.487]Oh Lord
[01:08.194]Oh my Lord
[01:12.881]Oh Lord
[01:16.580]How have I offended thee?
[01:24.036]Wrap your tender arms around me
[01:31.413]Oh Lord
[01:34.873]Oh Lord
[01:37.372]Oh My Lord
[01:46.351]They called at me through the fence
[01:49.637]They were not making any sense
[01:53.147]They claimed that I had lost the plot
[01:56.596]Kept saying that I was not
[02:00.124]The man I used to be
[02:03.548]They held their babes aloft
[02:07.044]Threw marshmellows at the Security
[02:10.532]And said that I'd grown soft
[02:14.444]Call it intuition
[02:17.930]Call it a creeping suspicion
[02:20.912]But their words of derision
[02:24.344]I meant they hardly knew me
[02:27.832]For even I could see
[02:31.649]In the way they looked at me
[02:34.627]The Spear of Destiny
[02:38.255]Are sticking right through me
[02:44.396]Oh Lord
[02:46.846]Oh my lord
[02:50.983]Oh Lord
[02:54.460]How have I offended thee?
[03:01.171]Wrap your tender arms round me
[03:07.827]Oh Lord
[03:11.121]Oh lord
[03:13.481]Oh My Lord
[03:48.270]Now I'm at the hairdressers
[03:51.413]People watch me as they move past
[03:54.452]A guy wearing plastic antlers
[03:57.708]Presses his bum against the glass
[04:00.948]Now I'm down on my hands and knees
[04:04.254]And it's so ****ing hot!
[04:07.148]Someone cries, What are you looking for?
[04:10.293]I scream, The plot, the plot!
[04:13.640]I grab my telephone
[04:16.684]I call my wife at home
[04:19.834]She screams, Leave us alone!
[04:23.037]I say, Hey, it's only me
[04:26.187]The hairdresser with his scissors
[04:29.279]He holds up the mirror
[04:32.467]I look back and shiver
[04:35.523]I can't even believe what I can be
[05:04.180]Be mindful of the prayers you send
[05:07.245]Pray hard but pray with care
[05:10.133]For the tears that you are crying now
[05:13.421]Are just your answered prayers
[05:16.805]The ladders of life that we scale merrily
[05:19.894]Move mysteriously around
[05:22.776]So that when you think
[05:24.013]You're climbing up man
[05:26.194]In fact you're climbing down
[05:29.555]Into the hollows of glamour
[05:32.418]where with spikes and hammer
[05:35.506]With telescopic camera
[05:38.579]They chose to turn the screw
[05:41.614]Oh I hate them, Ma!
[05:44.686]Oh I hate them, Pa!
[05:47.802]Oh I hate them all
[05:50.931]For what they went and done to you
[05:56.757]Oh Lord
[05:58.978]Oh my lord
[06:02.834]Oh Lord
[06:06.002]How have I offended thee?
[06:12.275]Wrap your tender arms round me
[06:18.414]Oh Lord
[06:21.594]Oh Lord
[06:23.692]Oh My Lord
