Hard On For Love Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

It is for she that the cherry bleeds 

And that the moon is steeped in milk and blood 

That I steal like a robber 

From her altar of love 

O money lender! O clover 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 

Well, I swear I seen that girl before 

She looks like she walked straight out of a Book of Leviticus 

But they can stone me with stones I don't care 

Just as long as I get to kiss those gypsy lips, 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 

The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want 

The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want 

But 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 

I'm gonna give them gates a shove 

Hard on for love, hard on for love 

Hard on for love, hard on for love 

And her breasts rise and fall 

Her breast rise and fall 

Her breast rise and fall 

Her breast rise and fall 

Her breast rise and fall 

Her breast rise and fall 

Her breast rise and fall 

Her breast 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! O 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 

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 breasts rise and fall 

Her breasts rise and fall 

Hard on for love, hard on for love 

Hard on for love, hard on for love 

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
