lirik lagu when i first came to town – nick cave & the bad seeds
when i first came to town
all the people gathered round
they bought me drinks
lord, how they quickly changed their tune
when i first came to town
people took me round from end to end
like someone may take round a friend
o how quickly they changed their tune
suspicion and dark murmurs surround me
everywhere i go they confound me
as though the blood on my hands
is there for every citizen to see
o sweet jesus
there is no turning back
there is always one more town
a little further down the track
and from my window, across the tracks
i watch the juicers burn their fires
and in that light
their faces leer at me
how i wish they’d just let me be
when i first came to town
their favours were for free
now even the doors of the wh-r-s of this town
are closed to me
i search the mirror
and i try to see
why the people of this town
have washed their hands of me
o sweet jesus
there is no turning back
there is always one more town
a little further down the track
o lord, every god-d-mn turn i take
i fear the noose, i fear the stake
for there is no bone
they did not break
in all the towns i’ve been before
well those that sin against me are snuffed out
i know from every day that i live
god-d-mn the day that i was born
the night that forced me from the womb
and god-d-mn this town
for i am leaving now
but one day i will return
and the people of this town will surely see
just how quickly the tables turn
o sweet jesus
this really is the end
there is always one more town
a little further round the bend.
