[00:04.86]O'Malley's Bar
[00:11.87]Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
[00:16.87]
[00:22.81]I am tall and I am thin
[00:26.34]Of an enviable hight
[00:30.16]And I've been known to be quite handsome
[00:33.43]In a certain angle and in certain light
[00:41.10]Well I entered into O'Malley's
[00:43.30]Said, "O'Malley I have a thirst"
[00:47.09]O'Malley merely smiled at me
[00:50.77]Said "You wouldn't be the first"
[00:57.98]I knocked on the bar and pointed
[00:59.97]To a bottle on the shelf
[01:03.72]And as O'Malley poured me out a drink
[01:07.61]I sniffed and crossed myself
[01:13.62]My hand decided that the time was nigh
[01:16.86]And for a moment it slipped from view
[01:20.80]And when it returned, it fairly burned
[01:24.68]With confidence anew
[01:29.95]Well the thunder from my steely fist
[01:34.05]Made all the glasses jangle
[01:37.65]When I shot him, I was so handsome
[01:41.15]It was the light, it was the angle
[01:45.93]Huh! Hmmmmmm
[02:01.23]
[02:06.54]"Neighbours!" I cried, "Friends!" I screamed
[02:09.60]I banged my fist upon the bar
[02:13.70]"I bear no grudge against you!"
[02:16.63]And my dick felt long and hard
[02:22.86]"I am the man for which no God waits
[02:26.23]But for which the whole world yearns
[02:30.07]I'm marked by darkness and by blood
[02:33.93]And one thousand powder-burns"
[02:40.19]Well, you know those fish with the swollen lips
[02:43.76]That clean the ocean floor
[02:46.80]When I looked at poor O'Malley's wife
[02:50.82]That's exactly what I saw
[02:56.54]I jammed the barrel under her chin
[03:00.03]And her face looked raw and vicious
[03:03.72]Her head it landed in the sink
[03:07.62]With all the dirty dishes
[03:13.25]Her little daughter Siobhan
[03:16.89]Pulled beers from dusk till down
[03:20.78]And amongst the townfolk she was a bit of a joke
[03:24.49]But she pulled the best beer in town
[03:30.96]I swooped magnificent upon her
[03:33.64]As she sat shivering in her grief
[03:37.40]Like the Madonna painted on the church-house wall
[03:41.32]In whale's blood and banana leaf
[03:47.83]Her throat it crumbled in my hands
[03:50.58]And I spun heroically around
[03:54.20]To see Caffrey rising from his seat
[03:57.87]I shot that mother ****er down
[04:03.02]Mmmmmmmmmm Yeah Yeah Yeah
[04:30.41]
[04:31.13]"I have no free will", I sang
[04:34.11]As I flew about the murder
[04:38.53]Mrs. Richard Holmes, she screamed
[04:41.47]You really should have heard her
[04:47.00]I sang and I laughed, I howled and I wept
[04:50.64]I panted like a pup
[04:54.25]I blew a hole in Mrs. Richard Holmes
[04:57.93]And her husband stupidly stood up
[05:04.19]As he screamed, "You are an evil man"
[05:06.80]And I paused a while to wonder
[05:10.94]"If I have no free will then how can I
[05:14.14]Be morally culpable, I wonder"
[05:21.28]I shot Richard Holmes in the stomach
[05:24.58]And gingerly he sat down
[05:28.15]And he whispered weirdly, "No offense"
[05:31.58]And then lay upon the ground
[05:37.84]"None taken", I replied to him
[05:40.81]To which he gave a little cough
[05:44.41]With blazing wings I neatly aimed
[05:48.24]And blew his head completely off
[05:54.74]I've lived in this town for thirty years
[05:58.87]And to no-one I am a stranger
[06:01.83]And I put new bullets in my gun
[06:05.57]Chamber upon chamber
[06:11.23]And I turned my gun on the bird-like Mr. Brookes
[06:15.01]I thought of Saint Francis and his sparrows
[06:18.59]And as I shot down the youthful Richardson
[06:22.19]It was St. Sebastian I thought of, and his arrows
[06:28.45]Hhhhhhhhhh Mmmmmmmmmmmm
[06:41.80]
[06:49.48]I said, "I want to introduce myself
[06:54.12]And I am glad that all you came"
[06:57.61]And I leapt upon the bar
[07:01.31]And shouted out my name
[07:07.12]Well Jerry Bellows, he hugged his stool
[07:10.80]Closed his eyes and shrugged and laughed
[07:14.44]And with an ashtray as big as a ****ing really big brick
[07:19.20]I split his head in half
[07:24.87]His blood spilled across the bar
[07:27.71]Like a steaming scarlet brook
[07:31.30]And I knelt at it's edge on the counter
[07:35.20]Wiped the tears away and looked
[07:41.56]Well, the light in there was blinding
[07:44.56]Full of God and ghosts of truth
[07:48.52]I smiled at Henry Davenport
[07:51.89]Who made an attempt to move
[07:58.96]Well, from the position I was standing
[08:02.43]The strangest thing I ever saw
[08:06.09]The bullet entered through the top of his chest
[08:08.91]And blew his bowels out on the floor
[08:15.35]Well I floated down the counter
[08:18.73]Showing no remorse
[08:21.84]I shot a hole in Kathleen Carpenter
[08:26.36]Recently divorced
[08:32.12]But remorse i felt and remorse I had
[08:35.36]It clung to every thing
[08:38.84]From the raven's hair upon my head
[08:42.59]To the feathers on my wings
[08:51.19]Remorse sqeezed my hand in it's fradulent claw
[08:54.45]With it's golden hairless chest
[08:57.69]And I glided through the bodies
[09:01.15]And killed the fat man Vincent West
[09:05.40]Who sat quietly in his chair
[09:09.13]A man become a child
[09:12.42]And I raised the gun up to his head
[09:16.82]Executioner-style
[09:22.73]He made no attempt to resist
[09:26.17]So fat and dull and lazy
[09:29.39]"Did you know I lived in your street?" I said
[09:33.50]And he looked at me as though I were crazy
[09:39.18]"O", he said, "I had no idea"
[09:42.75]And he grew as quiet as a mouse
[09:46.55]And the roar of the pistol when it went off
[09:49.88]Near blew that hat right off the house
[09:54.68]Hmmmmmm Uh Uh
[10:25.06]
[10:26.68]Well, I caught my eye in the mirror
[10:30.49]And gave it a long and loving inspection
[10:34.05]"There stands some kind of man", I roared
[10:37.03]And there did, in the reflection
[10:43.25]My hair combed back like a raven's wing
[10:46.77]My muscles hard and tight
[10:50.81]And curling from the business end of my gun
[10:53.86]Was a query-mark of cordite
[10:59.26]Well I spun to the left, I spun to the right
[11:03.28]And I spun to the left again
[11:07.24]"Fear me! Fear me! Fear me!"
[11:12.19]But no one did cause they were dead
[11:16.90]Huh! Hmmmmmmmmm
[11:44.25]
[11:48.10]And then there were the police sirens wailing
[11:50.48]And a bull-horn squelched and blared
[11:54.91]"Drop your weapons and come out
[11:56.79]With your hands held in the air"
[12:04.29]Well, I checked the chamber of my gun
[12:07.59]Saw I had one final bullet left
[12:11.26]My hand, it looked almost human
[12:14.16]As I raised it to my head
[12:21.27]"Drop your weapon and come out!
[12:23.67]Keep your hands above your head!"
[12:27.48]I had one one long hard think about dying
[12:30.83]And did exactly what they said
[12:37.66]There must have been fifty cops out there
[12:40.70]In a circle around O'Malley's bar
[12:44.89]"Don't shoot", I cried, "I'm a man unarmed!"
[12:48.56]So they put me in their car
[12:54.87]And they sped me away from that terrible scene
[12:58.32]And I glanced out of the window
[13:01.10]Saw O'Malley's bar, saw the cops and the cars
[13:05.49]And I started counting on my fingers
[13:09.69]Aaaaaah
[13:20.19]One Aaaaaah
[13:23.01]Two Aaaaaah
[13:29.05]Three Aaaaaaah
[13:44.96]O'Malley's bar
[13:48.71]O'Malley's bar
[13:52.27]O'Malley's bar
[13:56.14]O'Malley's bar
[14:01.91]O'Malley's bar
[14:08.41]O'Malley's bar
[14:15.33]
