Alright. Polling continues, but in case you have
not read my bulletin, I have raised the question of who is the better lyricist,
Nick Cave or Lou Reed?? I’m settling an argument I have with Laurence regarding
this, and expecting to prove with this poll that I am, in fact, correct.
I was going to give an update on the numbers, but
I’m trying to be fair and I don’t want your judgement to be skewed by figures.

Sometimes I feel so
happy,
Sometimes
I feel so sad.
Sometimes
I feel so happy,
But
mostly you just make me mad.
Baby,
you just make me mad.
Linger
on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger
on, your pale blue eyes.
Thought
of you as my mountain top,
Thought
of you as my peak.
Thought
of you as everything,
I’ve
had but couldn’t keep.
I’ve
had but couldn’t keep.
Linger
on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger
on, your pale blue eyes.
If I could make the world as pure and
strange as what I see,
I’d
put you in the mirror,
I
put in front of me.
I
put in front of me.
Linger
on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger
on, your pale blue eyes.
Skip
a life completely.
Stuff
it in a cup.
She
said, Money is like us in time,
It
lies, but can’t stand up.
Down
for you is up.”
Linger
on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger
on, your pale blue eyes.
It
was good what we did yesterday.
And
I’d do it once again.
The
fact that you are married,
Only
proves, you’re my best friend.
But
it’s truly, truly a sin.
Linger
on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger
on, your pale blue eyes… language=javascript>..sociallinks();–>..>
Into My Arms
Lyrics
by Nick Cave
I don’t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I don’t believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that’s true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
