 Rate Lay Me Low
Artist : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Song : Lay Me Low
They're gonna lay me low (Lay me low)
They're
gonna sink me in the snow
They're gonna throw
back their heads and crow
When I
go
They're gonna jump and shout (Lay
me low)
They're gonna wave their arms
about
All the stories will come out
When I
go
All the stars will glow bright (Lay
me low)
And my friends will give up the
fight
They'll see my work in a different
light
When I go
They'll try
telephoning my mother (Lay me low)
But they'll
end up getting my brother
Who'll spill the
story on some long-gone lover
That I hardly
know
Hats off to the man
On top of
the world
Come crawl up here, baby
And I'll
show you how it works
If you wanna be my
friend
And you wanna repent
And you want it
all to end
And you wanna know when
Well do
it now don't care how
Take your final
bow
Make a stand Take my hand
And blow it
all to hell
They gonna inform the
police chief (Lay me low)
Who'll breathe a
sigh of relief
He'll say I was a malanderer, a
badlander, and a thief
When I
go
They will interview my teachers
(Lay me low)
Who'll say I was one of God's
sorrier creatures
There'll print informative
six-page features
When I go
They'll
bang a big old gong (Lay me low)
The motorcade
will be ten miles long
The world will join
together for a farewell song
When they put me
down below
They'll sound a fluegelhorn
(Lay me low)
And the sea will rage, and the
sky will storm
All man and beast will
mourn
When I go
Hats off to the
man
On top of the world
Come crawl up here,
baby
And we can watch this damn thing
turn
If you wanna be my friend
And you
wanna repent
And you want it all to end
And
you wanna know when
Well do it now Do it
now
Take a long last bow
Take my hand Make
a stand
And blow it all to hell
Lay
me low...
When I go...
