Where the Wild Roses Grow - Chicks On Speed vs Kreidler[00:00:00]
Written by:Nicolas Edward Cave/Kreidler[00:00:07]
They call me the wild rose[00:00:14]
But my name was Elisa Day[00:00:21]
Why they call me it I do not know[00:00:26]
For my name was Elisa Day[00:00:33]
From the first day I saw her I knew she[00:00:38]
Was the one[00:00:41]
She stared in my eyes and smiled[00:00:43]
For her lips were the colour[00:00:48]
Of the roses[00:00:50]
That grew down the river all bloody and wild[00:00:53]
When he knocked on my door and entered the room[00:01:00]
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace[00:01:05]
He would be my first man[00:01:10]
And with a careful hand[00:01:13]
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face[00:01:15]
They call me the wild rose[00:01:22]
But my name was Elisa Day[00:01:29]
Why they call me that I do not know[00:01:34]
For my name was Elisa Day[00:01:41]
On the second day I brought her a flower[00:01:47]
She was more beautiful than any woman I've seen[00:01:51]
I said 'do you know[00:01:56]
Where the wild roses grow[00:01:59]
So sweet and scarlet and free[00:02:02]
On the second day he came[00:02:06]
With a single red rose[00:02:09]
He said 'give me your loss and your sorrow'[00:02:11]
I nodded my head[00:02:16]
As I lay on the bed[00:02:19]
'If I show you the roses will you follow[00:02:21]
They call me the wild rose[00:02:28]
But my name was Elisa Day[00:02:35]
Why they call me that I do not know[00:02:40]
For my name was Elisa Day[00:02:46]
On the third day he took me to the river[00:02:53]
He showed me the roses and we kissed[00:02:58]
And the last thing I heard[00:03:03]
Was a muttered word[00:03:05]
As he knelt above me with a rock in his[00:03:08]
Finist[00:03:11]
On the last day I took her where the wild[00:03:12]
Roses grow[00:03:15]
She laid on the bank the wind light as a thief[00:03:17]
And I kissed her goodbye[00:03:22]
Said 'all beauty must die'[00:03:24]
And I lent down and planted a rose[00:03:26]
'Tween her teeth[00:03:30]
They call me the wild rose[00:03:33]
But my name was Elisa Day[00:03:39]
Why they call me it I do not know[00:03:44]
For my name was Elisa Day[00:03:51]
My name was Elisa Day[00:03:56]
For my name was Elisa Day[00:04:01]
