Lay Me Low Lyrics - Let Love In - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

They're gonna lay me low (Lay me low) 

They're gonna sink me in the snow 

They're gonna throw back their heads and crow 

When I go 

They're gonna jump and shout (Lay me low) 

They're gonna wave their arms about 

All the stories will come out 

When I go 

All the stars will glow bright (Lay me low) 

And my friends will give up the fight 

They'll see my work in a different light 

When I go 

They'll try telephoning my mother (Lay me low) 

But they'll end up getting my brother 

Who'll spill the story on some long-gone lover 

That I hardly know

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Hats off to the man 

On top of the world 

Come crawl up here, baby 

And I'll show you how it works 

If you wanna be my friend 

And you wanna repent 

And you want it all to end 

And you wanna know when 

Well do it now don't care how 

Take your final bow 

Make a stand Take my hand 

And blow it all to hell 

They gonna inform the police chief (Lay me low) 

Who'll breathe a sigh of relief 

He'll say I was a malanderer, a badlander, and a thief 

When I go 

They will interview my teachers (Lay me low) 

Who'll say I was one of God's sorrier creatures 

They'll print informative six-page features 

When I go 

They'll bang a big old gong (Lay me low) 

The motorcade will be ten miles long 

The world will join together for a farewell song 

When they put me down below 

They'll sound a fluegelhorn (Lay me low) 

And the sea will rage, and the sky will storm 

All man and beast will mourn 

When I go 

Hats off to the man 

On top of the world 

Come crawl up here, baby 

And we can watch this damn thing turn 

If you wanna be my friend 

And you wanna repent 

And you want it all to end 

And you wanna know when 

Well do it now Do it now 

Take a long last bow 

Take my hand Make a stand 

And blow it all to hell 

Lay me low... 

When I go...
