Long Time Man

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

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
