Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Brother My Cup Is Empty Lyrics
Brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
Tis the bit, the bridle,
The trashing cane
The stirrup, the harness
The whipping mane
The pickled eye
The shrinking brain
O brother, buy me one more drink
I'll explain the nature of my pain
Yes, let me tell you once again
I am the captain of my pain
O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
I cannot blame it all on her
To blame her all would be a lie
For many a night I lay awake
And wished that I could watch her die
To see her accusing finger spurt
To see flies swarm her hateful eye
To watch her groaning in the dirt
To see her clicking tongue crack dry
O brother, buy me one more drink
One more drink and then goodbye
And do not mock me when I say
Let's drink one more before I die
O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
Well I've been sliding down on rainbows
Well I've been swinging from the stars
Now this wretch in beggars clothing
Bangs his cup across the bars
Look, this cup of mine is empty!
Seems I've misplaced my desires
Seems I'm sweeping up the ashes
Of all my former fires
So brother, be a brother
And fill this tiny cup of mine
And please, sir, make it whiskey
For I have no head for wine
O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
I counted up my blessings
And counted only one
One tiny little blessing
And now that blessings gone
So buy me one more drink, my brother
Then I'm taking to the road
Yes, I'm taking to the rain
I'm taking to the snow
O my friend, my only brother
Do not let the party grieve
So throw a dollar onto the bar
Now kiss my ass and leave
O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

Brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
Oh brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
I am the captain of my pain
'Tis the bit, the bridle and the trashing cane
The stirrup, the harness and the whipping mane
The pickled eye and the shrinking brain
Brother, buy me one more drink
Explain the nature of my pain, yeah
Let me tell you once again
I am the captain of my pain
Brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
I cannot blame it all on her
To blame her all would be a lie
For many a night I lay awake
I wished that I could watch her die
To see her accusing finger spurt
To see flies swarm her hateful eye
To watch her groaning in the dirt
To see her clicking tongue crack dry
Brother, buy me one more drink
One more drink and then goodbye
And do not mock me when I say
Let's drink one more before I die
Brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny

Bangs his cup across the bars
Look, this cup of mine is empty
Seems I've misplaced my desires
Seems I'm sweeping up the ashes
Of all my former fires
So brother, be a brother
And fill this tiny cup of mine
But please, sir, make it whiskey
I have no head for wine
Oh brother, my cup is empty

Oh brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey

And I counted only one
One tiny little blessing
And now that blessing's gone
So buy me one more drink, my brother
Then I'm taking to the road
Yes, I'm taking to the rain
And I'm taking to the snow

For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
Yooo that's my jam!
Peaky FOOOOOOOKIN blinders
Brian Sorry mate but this songs now claimed by the FOOKIN PEAKY BLINDERS
@Zayrex E3 Nah, you snotty millennial asswipes will just move onto another boxset in a month's time, leaving the real fans to enjoy the music in its entirety.
@Brian absolutely understand you! You come trough the years with those music and know every song and every mood, because you discovered it. It has never been a part of pop culture and has undescribable magic for you. It is more than music, it is the soundtrack of your rebellious youth. And now, people discovering it only as a sound track of a trendy series. Such a skin-deep attitude. It's the part of millenial hipster-culture. Punk is dead.
@Brian so other people have to be there from the very beginning to enjoy the music of say the fratellis. Or so only you can enjoy their music so that the artist will have a very limited fan base and won't make that much money from making music?
It's such a fucking stupid attitude.
@Sasha K other people are allowed to use music in television and the viewers of said television are allowed to like that music and start listening to it. Stop being so gate keeping, edgy and pretentious.
ONLY YIU ON TE STRIT OFF YESTERDEI BABI IANE STAI HIR FOR EVER FOR MI
Painfully good.
"Good song"? Fucking GREAT song. thanks for posting.
sublime!!
"I counted all my blessings and I counted only one"
Matey my paws are empty, and I ain't got er brazelle nut.
Matey my paws are empty, and I ain't got no Brazil nuts.
boys next door
I wonder if i get free whiskey, if i sing this in a pub.
I have that pic of him tattooed on my arm! People always ask me who it is? I've heard everything from Elvis to Dracula! haha
Either you happen to show it to people who don't know him or it's a shit tattoo.
like iron maiden it's like wine perhaps, i would definitely like a night out in anonimity with the man
Let's drink one more before I die
"...and I haven't got a Penny"
Leonard Hofstadter's breakup song xD
where did the fun go ?
you one lucky bastard! what a introduction! and yes, so many years ago and this album is still fucking awesome
very sad to say we lost a good friend this week, he loved a bit of Nick Cave and the bad seeds. So I'm going though a load of old tracks. Sad, though. what a fucking waste, but what a soundtrack, too.
Ok is that sarcasm? It doesnt transcent to well over written text. You really think cos someones ill we have to like them? Did you know child molesters often have symptoms consistent with mental illness, so children dont go and run away follow filip tastics theory and hug a pedo ;).....yeah that logic is reasonable.
This guy could be one of the top 10 greatest song writters of all time...and with a band that can keep up to Caves talent! Hell he even made me like Kylie Minogue (well that 1 song...and perhaps drooling at her in the video).
i wish i knew when to go home when i'm havin whiskey...
@wesoscarheine Throw a dollar on the bar- now kiss my ass and leave...
I don' t understand why he denied this album, considering it like one of the baddest work....strange....anyway, it's STILL ROCKING ......
nick's a god!!!
"her clicking tongue crack dry!"
@ericdacat yes. The best one. I listened to it when I was 18 and still listen to it being 37..
caroline4323 and now ? :) tell me that you do so ...
sweeping up the ashes of all my former fires- awesome. he tells great stories, and sings with tons of feeling. favorite album
sooo awesome
magnificent! !!!
magnificent!
best nick cave album
Now kiss my ass n leave..
you're a better person just by listening to him.
one of the favourite songs by this great music artist.
Nick Cave is the man!!!
Just hearing this now for the first time!! Everytime I hear something by Nick Cave I'm reminded how amazing he is
I cannot do anything else than agree with everything said here.
Explain the nature of my pity, let me tell you once again, I am the captain of my pain.
amongsy many flasher ones this remains my fave Nick Cave song,
I am the captain of my pain <3
i'm the captain of my pain - genius
