Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Sweetheart Come Lyrics






Come over here, babe
It ain't that bad
I don't claim to understand
The troubles that you've had
But the dogs you say they fed you to
Lay their muzzles in your lap
And the lions that they led you to
Lie down and take a nap
The ones you fear are wind and air
And I love you without measure
It seems we can be happy now
Be it better late than never

Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come to me

The burdens that you carry now
Are not of your creation
So let's not weep for their evil deeds
But for their lack of imagination
Today's the time for courage, babe
Tomorrow can be for forgiving
And if he touches you again with his stupid hands
His life won't be worth living

Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come
Sweetheart, come to me

Walk with me now under the stars
For it's a clear and easy pleasure
And be happy in my company
For I love you without measure
Walk with me now under the stars
It's a safe and easy pleasure
It seems we can be happy now
It's late but it ain't never
It's late but it ain't never
It's late but it ain't never

    I think this is a great example of how Nick can stand naked, shrouded in darkness almost trembling but still delivers hope.

  10. O.... B....

    There's someone I hold deep in my heart I hope one day I can sing this to. <3

  11. E.... H....

    Too pretty to be a joke or an irony, no matter what Nick and the boys may or may not have intended, and no matter how they sing the chorus.

  12. c.... ....

    Is this a reference to the lady who's husband left her at an asylum and she wrote him a letter that said "sweetheart come" until the whole page was scribbled out.

  13. D.... R....

    ♥♥♥

  35. W.... W....

    Well, hello sweetheart

  36. B.... M....

    What do you think I'm doing here? I clearly enjoy Nick Cave, misheard lyrics, came on youtube to see if any other people misheard the lyrics, and that was the end of it until you dragged me back here. Read Dante's comment below mine, clearly it wasn't a far-fetched thought of mine. You act fucking righteous, 'kid' 'son', with absolutely no information, but really you're no doubt a bitter old cunt.

  37. T.... ....

    In the making-of this record (a mini documentary), Nick actually tells the McGarrigle sisters to pronounce "sweet heart come" right and not "sweet hot cum" and -jokingly- avoid putting a "Parental Advisory" sticker on the record. So yeah, he's fully aware of it :)

    T.... ....

    dammit that has fucked up my day! all i can hear now!

  38. B.... M....

    I honestly thought this was just repeatedly saying 'Sweet Hot Cum' when it came on shuffle. Had to alt tab DoTA to make sure.

  39. B.... ....

    Haha, thats what i heared while listened to this song first time on the album, and googled "sweet dot com". thank you misheared lyrics <3, i got a lot porn advertisements.:D

  40. D.... M....

    That's how you tell you're on youtube :D

  41. M.... L....

    One of the best songs ever written - and sung by the writer, with Warren Ellis's violin - absolute perfection.

  42. I.... ....

    wow, i wish i could write like that

  43. M.... �....

    Sweetard come

  44. V.... ....

    Sweet outcome :D

  45. D.... �....

    I am living this song right now !!! But it's a pleasure

    D.... �....

    It's about a young girl being sexually abused in her own home. How is that a pleasure????

  46. �.... �....
