Hard On For Love - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

It is for she that the cherry bleeds

And the moon is steeped in milk and blood

That I steal like a robber

From her altar of love

Oh money lender!

Oh cloven gender!

I am the fiend hid in her skirts

And it’s as hot as hell in here

Coming at her as I am from above

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Well, I swear I’ve seen that girl before

She looked like she walked straight outta the book of Leviticus

And they can stone me with stones, I don’t care

Just as long as I can get a kiss

From those gypsy lips!

Those gypsy lips!

My aim is to hit this Miss

And I’m moving in

I’m moving in

Coming at her like Lazarus from above

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want

And he leadeth me like a lamb to the lips

Of the mouth of the valley of the shadow of death

I am his rod and his staff

I am his sceptre and shaft

And she is heaven and hell

At whose gates I ain’t been delivered

Well I’m gonna give the gates a shove

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

And her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

And just when I’m about to get my hands on her

Just when I’m about to get my hands on her

Just when I’m about to get my hands on her

Just when I’m about to get my hands on her

Oh you are beautiful!

Oh dove!

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

Hard on for love (Hard on for love)

And just when I’m about to get my hands on her

Just when I’m about to get my hands on her

Just when I’m about to get my hands on her

Just when I’m about to get my hands on her

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall

Her…
