[ti:Mermaids]
[ar:Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds]
[00:01.77] She was a catch
[00:05.19] And we were a match
[00:08.49] I was the match
[00:09.85] That would fire up her snatch
[00:14.98] There was a catch
[00:18.24] I was no match
[00:21.02] I was fired from her crotch
[00:25.86] Now I sit around and watch
[00:29.80] The mermaids sun themselves out on the rocks
[00:35.51] They are beyond our touch
[00:39.18] I watch and watch
[00:43.57] Wave at me
[00:47.10] They wave at me
[00:50.63] They wave and slip
[00:54.48] Back into the sea
[01:04.96] All the ones who come
[01:08.30] All the ones who go
[01:11.84] Down to the water
[01:18.80] And all the ones who come
[01:22.12] And all the ones who go
[01:25.52] Down to the sea
[01:32.50] I believe in God
[01:36.00] I believe in mermaids too
[01:39.72] I believe in seventy-two virgins
[01:42.26] On a chain, why not, why not
[01:46.41] I believe in the rapture
[01:49.68] For I've seen your face
[01:53.00] On the floor of the ocean
[01:57.73] At the bottom of the rain
[02:07.06] I do driver alertness course
[02:10.29] I do husband alertness course
[02:13.77] I do mermaid alertness course
[02:17.54] Watch them out on the rocks
[02:21.87] Wave at me
[02:25.30] Wave at me
[02:28.79] They wave and slip
[02:32.46] Back into the sea
[02:42.87] All the ones who come
[02:46.31] All the ones who go
[02:49.78] Down to the water
[02:56.61] All the ones who come
[03:00.06] And all the ones who go
[03:03.62] Down to the sea
[03:10.26] For all the ones who come
[03:13.65] And all the ones who go
[03:17.15] Down to the water
[03:24.09] All the ones who come
[03:27.39] And all the ones who go
[03:30.85] Down to the sea
