Wing off Flies

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

She loves me, she loves me not



She loves me, she loves me not
 She loves me, she loves me not
 We-e-ll, ah've spent seven days and seven nights
 tryin to get sunk in this brine
 Don't turn on ya water-works
 'cause ah got me a pair of water-wings, right?!

Insects suicide against the window,
 and my heart goes out to those lil flies
 There's a buzzin in my ear
 but it's more of her black-mail, ham shakespeare + lies
 Wings off Flies, She loves me, she loves me not.
 O o o o oh she loves me not!!

Lord, Ah've discovered the recipe of Heaven
 ya git solitude and ya mix with sanctuary and silence,
 then bake it!
 Listen, I plead guilty to misanthropy
 so hang me! Ah'd appreciate it!!
 Witness her gate-crash my tiny hell
 with some obscene tete-a-tete,
 If ya wanna talk to me about Love'n'Pain
 consult my ulcer, it'd be happy to co-operate
 Wings off Flies, she loves me, loves me not
 Uh hey, Joe! Another outa do the job.

Time to drown our lil fire, ya can keep the ashes,
 Now bye bye, bye, bye, see ya in a pigs eye!
 Ah will be one, in need of no-one
 In this, my deepest dive...
 Fill'er up, Joe...

Hey! Ah am obliged! Ah am olbiged!
 Wings off Flies, She loves me, she loves me not
 Wings off Flies etc... ad infinitum

Welcome the solitary flyer ya
 see it land on the rim of my glass
 it's going around and around and around
 look I just don't have the heart to hurt a fly
 I grabbed it in my paw
 snatched it up
 and then I held it to my ear could hear it scream
 could hear it scream and scream and scream
 till it screamed not...
 Hey Joe, ya know anything about this scream?
