SINGER: Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

SONG:Long Time Man

Written by tim rose
Yeah, they came to take me away
said i'd be sitting here for the rest of my life
but i don't really care - i shot my wife
and brother, i can't even remember the reason why

oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad
well i ain't had no love since i don't know when
it sure makes a long time man feel bad

we was down in jacksonville
a cold winter night
my baby and i, we began to fight
i heated up, and i grabbed my gun
i get so cold on those nights down south

she was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor
she looked up at me and began to smile
her gasping words: "baby, i love you"
then she closed those baby blue eyes

(chorus, and variations)

sometimes i hear you call my name in the dead of the night

i ain't had those arms around me
i ain't had those lips, those lips, around me

it sure makes a long time man feel bad
so bad
