Jubilee Street Lyrics - Nick Cave

On Jubilee Street there was a girl named Bee 

She had a history, but she had no past 

When they shut her down the Russians moved in 

I am too scared, I'm too scared to even walk on past 

She used to say: 

All those good people down on Jubilee Street 

They ought to practice what they preach 

Here they are to practice just what they preach 

Those good people on Jubilee Street 

And here I come up the hill 

I'm pushing my wheel of love 

I got love in my tummy and a tiny little pain 

And a ten ton catastrophe on a sixty pound chain 

And I'm pushing my wheel of love on Jubilee Street 

Ah look at me now 

The problem was she had a little black book 

And my name was written on every page 

Well a girl's gotta make ends meet 

Even down Jubilee Street 

I was out of place and time, and over the hill, and out of my mind 

On Jubilee Street 

I ought to practice what I preach 

These days I go downtown in my tie and tails 

I got a fetus on a leash 

I am alone now, I am beyond recriminations 

Curtains are shut, the furniture is gone 

I'm transforming, I'm vibrating, I'm glowing 

I'm flying, look at me now 

I'm flying, look at me now
