Grinderman - Kitchenette Lyrics






I keep hanging around your kitchenette
And I'm gonna get a pot to cook you in
I stick my fingers in your biscuit jar
And crush all your Gingerbread Men

'Cause I want you
Yeah I want you to be my friend
Yeah I want you
Yeah I wanna be your solitary man

Try not to wake the executioner
He's sleeping with a fireman's axe
He leaves his glass eye on the pillow babe
And his dentures floating there in a glass

He makes it hard to relax
He makes it hard to relax
When I want you
When I want you to be my friend

What's this husband of yours ever given to you
Oprah Winfrey on a plasma screen
And a brood of jug-eared buck-toothed imbeciles
The ugliest fucking kids I've ever seen

Oh baby I want you
Yeah I want you to be my girlfriend

Now will you send those kids to play down the street
And shouldn't you, shouldn't you put shoes on their feet?
It's getting hard to relax
It's getting hard to relax

I can see that you don't really dig him
And I can see that you want it to quite
But if you want to get your hand out of the cookie jar
You're gonna have to let go of the biscuit

  1. M.... R....

    Nick , you are best artist ever .. be happy .. Mateja

  2. G.... A....

    As said before, this is good shit, I am the master of understatement... Why doesn't nick get this band back together instead of 70 quid a ticket to see the bad seeds in an arena. Not an arena band...

  3. G.... F....

    Dope as f***! I love the Cave. 🔥

  4. R.... C....

    I love how much they enjoy playing together

  5. A.... M....

    I love this version!!!!!!!! is this on iTunes or somewhere to buy to listen in my car!

    L.... ....

    Just get youtube premium u can save and download any video and song

  11. d.... s....

    Is this a song about a woman cheating on her thug man or is it the story of a thug man cheating on his woman and finding it hard to relax?

    d.... s....

    Personally- think it is a man wanting to take an affair further....A women who is cheating on her thug husband...."I want you to be my girlfriend"....."I want to be your solitary man"..."what's that husband ever given to you?" I have listen to it so many times, and my mind sways with the interpretation but I alway lean to the desperate man not wanting an affair to end. It is a god dam awesome song! the whole thing musically, lyrically and the gob smack connection they all have as artists!!!! so really it is whatever you need or want it to be!

  12. C.... ....

    Mother of God.

  13. S.... ....

    What's the joke with the green shirts? "Hey boy's, let's all wear green. Don't tell Jim :) "

    M.... ....

    Kichenettes are typically green...
    Perhaps not in Jim's childhood house

  15. J.... T....

    Neil Young and Nick Cave are brothers.

  16. a.... ....

    Warren's playing is a collection of prostate massaging noise attacks, it's fucking wonderful. Also love the fact that at the beginning he plays one handed due to also playing the shakers

  17. D.... L....

  63. G.... A....

    Scary good

  64. B.... T....

    Fucking hillareous................only Nick Cave

  65. D.... S....

    Loving this extended version. I have to say I never liked Nick Cave, always thought he was a pretentious cock, but since getting into Grinderman I have to concede he's fucking awesome. The man even makes playing the tambourine look cool! He's gives hope to any aspiring musician, you can be a scrawny, weird looking fucker and still blow every other act off the stage, you just have to do your thing and do it with style.  

    D.... S....

    @Dirkardo StEvergreen That last word you typed is the essence here!

    D.... S....

    @Dirkardo StEvergreen i don't know if you've seen "20.000 days on earth"?
    in there he says he's always been a pretentious little prick... :-)
    (btw i love him and his music since i first heard "the mercy seat" back in 1988)

  66. f.... ....

    Anybody knows the model of headphones Cave has on?

    f.... ....

    +foljs In case anyone is still wondering, it's studio monitor headphones Beyerdynamic DT 100...

  67. a.... H....

    good old badass Cave and Ellis!

  68. I.... ....

    "tippy toe tippy toe"

    I.... ....

    my favorite part. his hand motions make it

    I.... ....

    Indigobunting23 😁🙆🏻😬

  69. J.... H....

    Christ Warrens guitar sounds like a chainsaw. I wanna make love to it. How do I get my guitar to sound like that!?!?!?!

    J.... H....

    @theHALLOWEDmetal
    Thanks buddy! Sound like you know your stuff I'll definantly look into it.

    Good thing Christmas is just around the corner! ;) 

    J.... H....

    @Jamie Holmes Indeed hahaha

    J.... H....

    Jamie Holmes experiment

    J.... H....

    Take everything you know about the instrument and forget it..then grow a beard and wear Prada.

    J.... H....

    Definitely a wah, and I think he has his amp cranked, and a fuzz with the tone knob up

  70. J.... W....

    Hey Warren, play something man!

    J.... W....

    can you not wait 3 minutes???

    J.... W....

    @Jeremy Mullins i think he was just quoting cave....

    J.... W....

    John Woods with Ellis, its more about the notes that he doesn't play. Lol.

  71. S.... o....

    That Bass...

  72. A.... C....

    Something tells me these guys did a LOT of acid before this session

    A.... C....

    I doubt it... What make you think that?

    A.... C....

    I don't think you know how acid works, man.

    A.... C....

    4 years and still getting dumb replys for dumb comments....have a nice day

  73. A.... C....

    This is so 1960's San Francisco psychedelic! Wow!

  74. D.... C....

    I want to be your solitary man

  75. d.... ....

    Cave obviously does not give a fuck. Hell yeah.

    d.... ....
