Infernal Affairs

One man's memoir of debauched enlightenment

Not sure if I've posted this before - one of my favourite Nick Cave songs.  If I thought I could get away with it, I'd post reams of his lyrics.  There's something about his words.

 

Come over here, babe
It ain't that bad
I don't claim to understand
The troubles that you've had
But the dogs you say they fed you to
Lay their muzzles in your lap
And the lions that they led you to
Lie down and take a nap
The ones you fear are wind and air
And I love you without measure
It seems we can be happy now
Be it better late than never


Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come to me


The burdens that you carry now
Well they're not of your creation
So let's not weep for their evil deeds
But their lack of imagination
Today's the time for courage, babe
Tomorrow can be for forgiving
And if he touches you again with his stupid hands
His life won't be worth living


Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come to me


Walk with me now under the stars
For it's a clear and easy pleasure
And be happy in my company
For I love you without measure
Walk with me now under the stars
It's a safe and easy pleasure
It seems we can be happy now
It's late but it ain't never
It's late but it ain't never
It's late but it ain't never

 

 

 

 

 

A Cloud​(sub female){Owned} - Nick Cave is one of those musical geniuses, one of the coolest dudes and an extremely humble human - love him 🧡.

Habardr​(dom male) - His songs are perfect for my quiet moments. Dark, brooding - yet soulful and vulnerable.

A Cloud​(sub female){Owned} - Definitely and I think within the vulnerability you speak of there is the utmost sense of beauty that makes one want to cry. I would even put his (and The Bad Seeds) in a category of Tragedy (or a particular style of Gothic), which is not often attributed to music. Have you heard of The Boys Next Door? I will post a song in my blog that is the ultimate tragic song 🖤.
