Rate Brother, My Cup Is Empty
Artist : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds Song : Brother, My Cup Is Empty
Brother, my cup is empty And I haven't got a
penny For to buy no more whiskey I have to
go home
I am the captain of my
pain Tis the bit, the bridle, The trashing
cane The stirrup, the harness The whipping
mane The pickled eye The shrinking
brain O brother, buy me one more drink I'll
explain the nature of my pain Yes, let me tell
you once again I am the captain of my
pain
O brother, my cup is empty And
I haven't got a penny For to buy no more
whiskey I have to go home
I cannot
blame it all on her To blame her all would be
a lie For many a night I lay awake And
wished that I could watch her die To see her
accusing finger spurt To see flies swarm her
hateful eye To watch her groaning in the
dirt To see her clicking tongue crack dry O
brother, buy me one more drink One more drink
and then goodbye And do not mock me when I
say Let's drink one more before I
die
O brother, my cup is empty And
I haven't got a penny For to buy no more
whiskey I have to go home
Well I've
been sliding down on rainbows Well I've been
swinging from the stars Now this wretch in
beggars clothing Bangs his cup across the
bars Look, this cup of mine is empty! Seems
I've misplaced my desires Seems I'm sweeping
up the ashes Of all my former fires So
brother, be a brother And fill this tiny cup
of mine And please, sir, make it
whiskey For I have no head for
wine
O brother, my cup is empty And
I haven't got a penny For to buy no more
whiskey I have to go home
I counted
up my blessings And counted only one One
tiny little blessing And now that blessings
gone So buy me one more drink, my
brother Then I'm taking to the road Yes,
I'm taking to the rain I'm taking to the
snow O my friend, my only brother Do not
let the party grieve So throw a dollar onto
the bar Now kiss my ass and leave
O
brother, my cup is empty And I haven't got a
penny For to buy no more whiskey I have to
go home
