Long Time Man (nick Cave Version) Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

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
