Finishing Jubilee Street
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2013
I just finished writing Jubilee Street
I lay down on my bed and fell into a deep sleep
And when I awoke I believed
I had taken a bride called Mary Stanford
And I flew into a frenzy searching high and low
Because in my dream the girl was very young
I said hey little girl, where do you hide?
You draw lightning from the sky
All of this in her dark hair
All of this in her dark hair oh Lord
See that girl comin’ on down
See that girl comin’ on down
Last night your shadow scampered up the wall it fly
and leaped like a black spider between your legs
And cried
My children! My children!
They are lost to us
All of this in her dark hair
All of this in her dark hair oh Lord
See that girl comin’ on down
See that girl comin’ on down
