oh my lord[00:00:00]
nick cave & the bad seeds[00:00:01]
i thought i'd take a walk today[00:00:01]
it's a mistake i sometimes make[00:00:04]
kids lay asleep in bed[00:00:09]
my wife lay wide-awake[00:00:12]
i kissed her softly on the brow[00:00:17]
i tried not to make a sound[00:00:21]
but with stony eyes she looked at me[00:00:24]
and gently squeezed my hand[00:00:28]
call it a premonition[00:00:33]
call it a crazy vision[00:00:37]
call it intuition[00:00:40]
something learned from mother[00:00:43]
but when she looked up at me[00:00:48]
i could clearly see[00:00:51]
the sword of damocles,[00:00:55]
hanging directly above her[00:00:58]
oh lord[00:01:05]
oh my lord[00:01:07]
oh lord[00:01:12]
how have i offended thee?[00:01:16]
wrap your tender arms around me[00:01:23]
oh lord[00:01:31]
oh lord[00:01:34]
oh my lord[00:01:37]
they called at me through the fence[00:01:46]
they were not making any sense[00:01:49]
they claimed that i had lost the plot[00:01:52]
kept saying that i was not[00:01:56]
the man i used to be[00:01:59]
they held their babes aloft[00:02:03]
threw marsh mellows at the security[00:02:06]
and said that i'd grown soft[00:02:10]
call it intuition[00:02:14]
call it a creeping suspicion,[00:02:17]
but their words of derision[00:02:20]
i meant they hardly knew me[00:02:24]
for even i could see in the way[00:02:28]
they looked at me[00:02:31]
the spear of destiny ,[00:02:34]
sticking right through me[00:02:38]
oh lord[00:02:44]
oh my lord[00:02:46]
oh lord[00:02:50]
how have i offended thee?[00:02:54]
wrap your tender arms round me[00:03:00]
oh lord[00:03:07]
oh lord[00:03:10]
oh my lord[00:03:13]
now i'm at the hairdressers[00:03:48]
people watch me as they move past[00:03:51]
a guy wearing plastic antlers[00:03:54]
presses his bum against the glass[00:03:57]
now i'm down on my hands and knees[00:04:00]
and it's so f**king hot![00:04:03]
someone cries, what are you looking for?[00:04:06]
i scream, the plot, the plot![00:04:10]
i grab my telephone[00:04:13]
i call my wife at home[00:04:16]
she screams, leave us alone![00:04:19]
i say, hey, it's only me[00:04:22]
the hairdresser with his scissors[00:04:26]
he holds up the mirror[00:04:29]
i look back and shiver[00:04:32]
i can't even believe what i can be[00:04:35]
be mindful of the prayers you send[00:05:04]
pray hard but pray with care[00:05:07]
for the tears that you are crying now[00:05:10]
are just your answered prayers[00:05:13]
the ladders of life that we scale merrily[00:05:16]
move mysteriously around[00:05:19]
so that when you think[00:05:22]
you're climbing up man[00:05:24]
in fact you're climbing down[00:05:26]
into the hollows of glamour,[00:05:29]
where with spikes and hammer[00:05:32]
with telescopic camera,[00:05:35]
they chose to turn the screw[00:05:38]
oh i hate them, ma![00:05:41]
oh i hate them, pa![00:05:44]
oh i hate them all[00:05:47]
for what they went and done to you[00:05:50]
oh lord[00:05:56]
oh my lord[00:05:58]
oh lord[00:06:02]
how have i offended thee?[00:06:05]
wrap your tender arms round me[00:06:12]
oh lord[00:06:18]
oh lord[00:06:21]
oh my lord[00:06:23]
