- NICK CAVE - Hiding All Away Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- You went looking for nur, dear,
- Down by the sea
- You found some Iittle silver fish
- But you didn't find me
- I was hiding, dear, hiding all way
- I was hiding, dear, hiding all way
- You went to the museum
- You climbed a spiral stair
- You searched for me all among
- The knowledgeable air
- I was hidden, babe, hiding all away
- I was hidden, dear, hiding all away
- You entered the cathedral
- When you heard the solemn knell
- I was not sitting with the gargoyles
- I was not swinging from the hell
- I was hiding, dear, I was hiding all away
- I was hiding, dear, I was hiding all away
- You asked an electrician
- If he'd seen me round his place
- He touched you with his fingers
- Sent sparks zapping out your face
- I was hidden, dear, hiding all away
- I was not there, dear, hiding all away
- You went and asked your doctor
- To get some advice
- He shot you full of Pethidine
- And then he billed you twice
- But I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
- But I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
- You approached a high court judge
- You thought he'd be on the level
- He wrapped a rag around your face
- And beat you with his gavel
- I was hiding, habe, hiding all away
- I was hidden, dem, hiding all away
- You asked at the local constabulary
- They said, he's up to his same old tricks
- They leered at you with their baby blues
- And rubbed jelly on their sticks
- I had to get out of there, babe, hiding all away
- I had to get out of there, dear, hiding all away
- You searched through all my poets
- From Sappho through to Auden
- I saw the book fall from your hands
- As you slowly died of boredom
- I had been there, dear,
- but I was not there anymore
- I had been there, now I'm hiding all way
- You walked into the ball of fame
- And approached my imitators
- Some were stuffing their faces with caviar
- Some were eating cold potatoes
- I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
- I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
- You asked a famous cook if he'd seen me
- He opened his oven wide
- He basted you with butter, babe
- And made you crawl inside
- I was not in there, dear, hiding all away
- I was not in there, dear, hiding all away
- You asked the butcher
- Who lifted up his cleaver
- Stuck his fist up your dress
- Said he must've been mad to leave you
- But I had to get away, dear, hiding all away
- I had to get away, dear, I was hidden all away
- Some of us we hide away
- Some of us we don't
- Some will live to love another day
- And some of us won't
- But we all know there is a law
- And that law, it is love
- And we all know there's a war coming
- Coming from above
- There is a war coming
- There is a war coming
