LOOM OF THE LAND-NICK CAVE

It was the dirty end of winter
Along the loom of the land
When I walked with sweet sally
Hand upon hand

And the wind it bit bitter
For a boy of no means
With no shoes on his feet
And a knife in his jeans

Along the loom of the land
The mission bells peeled
From the tower at saint marys
Down to reprobate fields

And I saw that the world
Was all blessed and bright
And sally breathed softly
In the majestic night

O baby please dont cry
And try to keep
Your little hand upon my shoulder
Now go to sleep

The elms and the poplars
Were turning their backs
Past the rumbling station
We followed the tracks

We found an untrodden path
And followed it down
The moon in the sky
Like a dislodged crown

My hands they burned
In the folds of her coat
Breathing milky white air
From deep in her throat

O baby please dont cry
And try to keep
Your little head upon my shoulder
Now go to sleep

I told sally in whispers
Ill never bring you harm
Her breast it was small
And warm in my palm

I told her the moon
Was a magical thing
That it shone gold in winter
And silver in spring

And we walked and walked
Across the endless sands
Just me and my sally
Along the loom of the land

O baby please dont cry
And try to keep
Your little head upon my shoulder
Now go to sleep

JACK THE RIPPER-NICK CAVE

I got a woman
She rules my house with an iron fist
I got a woman
She rules my house with an iron fist
She screams out jack the ripper
Every time I try to give that girl a kiss

I got a woman
She strikes me down with a fist of lead
I got a woman
She strikes me down with a fist of lead
We bed in a bucket of butchers knives
A awake with a hatchet hanging over my head

Well you know the story of the viper
Its long and lean with poison tooth
Yeah, you know the story of the viper
Its long and lean with poison tooth
Well theyre hissing under the floorboards
Hanging down in bunches from my roof

I got a woman
She just hollers what she wants from where she is
I got a woman
She just hollers what she wants from where she is
She screams out jack the ripper
Every time I try to give that girl a kiss

Still no internet at the house. Can't think out something untrivial to spew for you cats and critters. Go visit CHEECH...he's the guy with the filing cabinet for a brain.
