Long Time Man

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

Yeah, they came to take me away
 Said I'd be sitting here for the rest of my life
 But I don't really care - I shot my wife
 And brother, I can't even remember the reason why

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
 Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad
 Well I ain't had no love since I don't know when
 It sure makes a long time man feel bad

We was down in Jacksonville
 A cold winter night
 My baby and I, we began to fight
 I heated up, and I grabbed my gun
 I get so cold on those nights down south

She was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor
 She looked up at me and began to smile
 Her gasping words: "Baby, I love you"
 Then she closed those baby blue eyes

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
 Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad
 Well I ain't had no love since I don't know when
 It sure makes a long time man feel bad

Sometimes I hear you call my name
 In the dead of the night

I ain't had those arms around me
 I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
 Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad
 Well I ain't had no love since I don't know when
 It sure makes a long time man feel bad
 So bad
