Murder Ballads Death is not the end
by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

When you’re sad and when you’re lonely
And you haven’t got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end

And all that you held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When you’re standing on the crossroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end

And all your dreams have vanished
And you don’t know what’s up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When the storm clouds gather round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end

And there’s no-one there to comfort you
With a helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

For the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation
Up in dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end

When you search in vain to find
Some law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end?

Where do we go now but nowhere

Nick Cave - Where Do We Go Now but Nowhere…

i remember a girl so very well
the carnival drums all mad in the air
grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell
o where do we go now but nowhere

in a colonial hotel we fucked up the sun
and then we fucked it down again
well the sun comes up and the sun goes down
going round and round to nowhere

the kitten that padded and purred on my lap
now swipes at my face with the paw of a bear
i turn the other cheek and you lay into that
o where do we go now but nowhere

o wake up, my love, my lover wake up
o wake up, my love, my lover wake up

across clinical benches with nothing to talk
breathing tea and biscuits and the serenity prayer
while the bones of our child crumble like chalk
o where do we go now but nowhere

i remember a girl so bold and so bright
loose-limbed and laughing and brazen and bare
sits gnawing her knuckles in the chemical light
o where do we go now but nowhere

you come for me now with a cake that you’ve made
ravaged avenger with a clip in your hair
full of glass and bleach and my old razorblades
o where do we go now but nowhere

o wake up, my love, my lover wake up
o wake up, my love, my lover wake up

if they’d give me my clothes back then i could go home
from this fresh, this clean, antiseptic air
behind the locked gates an old donkey moans
o where do we go now but nowhere

around the duck pond we grimly mope
gloomily and mournfully we go rounds again
and one more doomed time and without much hope
going round and around to nowhere

from the balcony we watched the carnival band
the crack of the drum a little child did scare
i can still feel his tiny fingers pressed in my hand
o where do we go now but nowhere

if i could relive one day of my life
if i could relive just a single one
you on the balcony, my future wife
o who could have known, but no one

o wake up, my love, my lover make up
o wake up, my love, my lover make up
