《Oh My Lord》歌词

[00:00:00] oh my lord

[00:00:01] nick cave & the bad seeds

[00:00:01] i thought i'd take a walk today

[00:00:04] it's a mistake i sometimes make

[00:00:09] kids lay asleep in bed

[00:00:12] my wife lay wide-awake

[00:00:17] i kissed her softly on the brow

[00:00:21] i tried not to make a sound

[00:00:24] but with stony eyes she looked at me

[00:00:28] and gently squeezed my hand

[00:00:33] call it a premonition

[00:00:37] call it a crazy vision

[00:00:40] call it intuition

[00:00:43] something learned from mother

[00:00:48] but when she looked up at me

[00:00:51] i could clearly see

[00:00:55] the sword of damocles,

[00:00:58] hanging directly above her

[00:01:05] oh lord

[00:01:07] oh my lord

[00:01:12] oh lord

[00:01:16] how have i offended thee?

[00:01:23] wrap your tender arms around me

[00:01:31] oh lord

[00:01:34] oh lord

[00:01:37] oh my lord

[00:01:46] they called at me through the fence

[00:01:49] they were not making any sense

[00:01:52] they claimed that i had lost the plot

[00:01:56] kept saying that i was not

[00:01:59] the man i used to be

[00:02:03] they held their babes aloft

[00:02:06] threw marsh mellows at the security

[00:02:10] and said that i'd grown soft

[00:02:14] call it intuition

[00:02:17] call it a creeping suspicion,

[00:02:20] but their words of derision

[00:02:24] i meant they hardly knew me

[00:02:28] for even i could see in the way

[00:02:31] they looked at me

[00:02:34] the spear of destiny ,

[00:02:38] sticking right through me

[00:02:44] oh lord

[00:02:46] oh my lord

[00:02:50] oh lord

[00:02:54] how have i offended thee?

[00:03:00] wrap your tender arms round me

[00:03:07] oh lord

[00:03:10] oh lord

[00:03:13] oh my lord

[00:03:48] now i'm at the hairdressers

[00:03:51] people watch me as they move past

[00:03:54] a guy wearing plastic antlers

[00:03:57] presses his bum against the glass

[00:04:00] now i'm down on my hands and knees

[00:04:03] and it's so f**king hot!

[00:04:06] someone cries, what are you looking for?

[00:04:10] i scream, the plot, the plot!

[00:04:13] i grab my telephone

[00:04:16] i call my wife at home

[00:04:19] she screams, leave us alone!

[00:04:22] i say, hey, it's only me

[00:04:26] the hairdresser with his scissors

[00:04:29] he holds up the mirror

[00:04:32] i look back and shiver

[00:04:35] i can't even believe what i can be

[00:05:04] be mindful of the prayers you send

[00:05:07] pray hard but pray with care

[00:05:10] for the tears that you are crying now

[00:05:13] are just your answered prayers

[00:05:16] the ladders of life that we scale merrily

[00:05:19] move mysteriously around

[00:05:22] so that when you think

[00:05:24] you're climbing up man

[00:05:26] in fact you're climbing down

[00:05:29] into the hollows of glamour,

[00:05:32] where with spikes and hammer

[00:05:35] with telescopic camera,

[00:05:38] they chose to turn the screw

[00:05:41] oh i hate them, ma!

[00:05:44] oh i hate them, pa!

[00:05:47] oh i hate them all

[00:05:50] for what they went and done to you

[00:05:56] oh lord

[00:05:58] oh my lord

[00:06:02] oh lord

[00:06:05] how have i offended thee?

[00:06:12] wrap your tender arms round me

[00:06:18] oh lord

[00:06:21] oh lord

[00:06:23] oh my lord
