[music]Nick Cave和他的壞種子

適合夏天晚上的Nick Cave

God is in the house

We've laid the cables and the wires
We've split the wood and stoked
the fires
We've lit our town so there is no
Place for crime to hide
Our little church is painted white
And in the safety of the night
We all go quiet as a mouse
For the word is out
God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
No cause for worry now
God is in the house

Moral sneaks in the White House
Computer geeks in the school house
Drug freaks in the crack house
We don't have that stuff here
We have a tiny little Force
But we need them of course
For the kittens in the trees
And at night we are on our knees
As quiet as a mouse
For God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
And no one's left in doubt
God is in the house

Homos roaming the streets in packs
Queer bashers with tyre-jacks
Lesbian counter-attacks
That stuff is for the big cities
Our town is very pretty
We have a pretty little square
We have a woman for a mayor
Our policy is firm but fair
Now that God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
Any day now He'll come out
God is in the house

Well-meaning little therapists
Goose-stepping
twelve-stepping
Tetotalitarianists
The tipsy, the reeling and
the drop down pissed
We got no time for that stuff here
Zero crime and no fear
We've bred all our kittens white
So you can see them in the night
And at night we're on our knees
As quiet as a mouse
Since the word got out
From the North down to the South
For no-one's left in doubt
There's no fear about
If we all hold hands and
very quietly shout
Hallelujah
God is in the house
God is in the house
Oh I wish He would come out
God is in the house

Oh my lord

I thought Id take a walk today
Its a mistake I sometimes make
My children lay asleep in bed
My wife lay wide-awake
I kissed her softly on the brow
I tried not to make a sound
But with stony eyes she looked at me
And gently squeezed my hand
Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision
Call it intuition, something learned from mother
But when she looked up at me, I could clearly see
The sword of damocles hanging directly above her
Oh lord oh my lord
Oh lord
How have I offended thee?
Wrap your tender arms around me
Oh lord oh lord
Oh my lord

They called at me through the fence
They were not making any sense
They claimed that I had lost the plot
Kept saying that I was not
The man I used to be
They held their babes aloft
Threw marsh mellows at the security
And said that Id grown soft
Call it intuition, call it a creeping suspicion,
But their words of derision meant they hardly knew me
For even I could see in the way they looked at me
The spear of destiny sticking right through me
Oh lord oh my lord
Oh lord
How have I offended thee?
Wrap your tender arms round me
Oh lord oh lord
Oh my lord

Now Im at the hairdressers
People watch me as they move past
A guy wearing plastic antlers
Presses his bum against the glass
Now Im down on my hands and knees
And its so fucking hot!
Someone cries, what are you looking for?
I scream, the plot, the plot!
I grab my telephone, I call my wife at home
She screams, leave us alone! I say, hey, its only me
The hairdresser with his scissors, he holds up the mirror
I look back and shiver; I cant even believe what I can see

Be mindful of the prayers you send
Pray hard but pray with care
For the tears that you are crying now
Are just your answered prayers
The ladders of life that we scale merrily
Move mysteriously around
So that when you think youre climbing up, man
In fact youre climbing down
Into the hollows of glamour, where with spikes and hammer
With telescopic camera, they chose to turn the screw
Oh I hate them, ma! oh I hate them, pa!
Oh I hate them all for what they went and done to you
Oh lord oh my lord
Oh lord
How have I offended thee?
Wrap your tender arms round me
Oh lord oh lord
Oh my lord

有時候我會懷疑到底有多少人會點上面的音樂來聽
不過這些有貼youtube的歌都是我本人非常喜歡的
小弟雖然聽音樂才五六年而以 不過我趕肯定這些音樂絕對是一時之選
點下去可能花你不到五分鐘 不過或許你可以找到另一個世界..
