Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl) lyrics
rate me<BR>
Well, you lost a foe<br>
And found yourself a friend<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
I'm back now, baby, that man<br>
<br>
He won't be coming round here again<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
I'm trying to tread careful, baby<br>
You're as brittle as the wishbone of a bird<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
We've been scribbled in the margins of a story<br>
That's patently absurd<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
And let it all come down tonight<br>
We can shine, shine<br>
Let it all come down<br>
<br>
(Be my girl, be my girl)<br>
<br>
It's a matter of some urgency, oh darling, can't you see<br>
I can't hold back the tide<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
And stop your frantic little fingers trying to collect the years<br>
That pour from the hole in my side<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
Oh, don't worry, baby, this old snake banging on your door<br>
Has got a few skins left to shed<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
Oh, you look so good, you look so good<br>
The rest is better left unsaid<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
And let it all come down tonight<br>
And shine, oh, we can shine<br>
Let it all come down<br>
Tonight<br>
<br>
(Be my girl, yeah, be my girl)<br>
<br>
You look so good, you look so good<br>
<br>
One day I'll buy a factory<br>
And assemble you on a production line<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
I'd buy a million of you, baby<br>
And every single one of them will be mine<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
I will fill the house with you, stack you up in every room<br>
We'll have a real good time<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
But right now, I'm sitting here on my own<br>
Going out of my mind<br>
<br>
(Lie down here & be my girl)<br>
<br>
And let it all come down tonight<br>
And shine, oh, we can shine<br>
Let it all come down<br>
Tonight<br>
<br>
You look so good, you look so good<br>
<BR><BR>
