Long Time Man (Nick Cave Version)

Yeah, they came to take me away



Said, "I'd be sittin' 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



Oh, it 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



Ooh, I get so cold on those nights down south



She was layin' in a pool right there on the kitchen floor



She looked up at me and began to smile



Her gaspin' words, "Baby, I love you"



Then she closed those baby blue eyes



Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad



Aah, it makes a long time man feel bad



Well I ain't had no love, since I don't know when



Oh It sure makes a long time man feel bad



It makes a long time man feel bad



Yeah, it makes a feel so bad



Sometimes I hear you call my name



In the dead of the night, yeah



Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad



Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad



Hmm yeah



Feel bad, bad



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



It sure makes a long time man feel bad



So bad



It sure makes a long time man feel bad



Yeah, so bad
