    O'Malley's Bar
    Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

    I am tall and I am thin
    Of an enviable hight
    And I've been known to be quite handsome
    In a certain angle and in certain light
    Well I entered into O'Malley's
    Said, "O'Malley I have a thirst"
    O'Malley merely smiled at me
    Said "You wouldn't be the first"
    I knocked on the bar and pointed
    To a bottle on the shelf
    And as O'Malley poured me out a drink
    I sniffed and crossed myself
    My hand decided that the time was nigh
    And for a moment it slipped from view
    And when it returned, it fairly burned
    With confidence anew
    Well the thunder from my steely fist
    Made all the glasses jangle
    When I shot him, I was so handsome
    It was the light, it was the angle
    Huh! Hmmmmmm

    "Neighbours!" I cried, "Friends!" I screamed
    I banged my fist upon the bar
    "I bear no grudge against you!"
    And my ************ felt long and hard
    "I am the man for which no God waits
    But for which the whole world yearns
    I'm marked by darkness and by blood
    And one thousand powder-burns"
    Well, you know those fish with the swollen lips
    That clean the ocean floor
    When I looked at poor O'Malley's wife
    That's exactly what I saw
    I jammed the barrel under her chin
    And her face looked raw and vicious
    Her head it landed in the sink
    With all the dirty dishes
    Her little daughter Siobhan
    Pulled beers from dusk till down
    And amongst the townfolk she was a bit of a joke
    But she pulled the best beer in town
    I swooped magnificent upon her
    As she sat ************vering in her grief
    Like the Madonna painted on the church-house wall
    In whale's blood and banana leaf
    Her throat it crumbled in my hands
    And I spun heroically around
    To see Caffrey rising from his seat
    I shot that mother ****** down
    Mmmmmmmmmm Yeah Yeah Yeah

    "I have no free will", I sang
    As I flew about the murder
    Mrs. Richard Holmes, she screamed
    You really should have heard her
    I sang and I laughed, I howled and I wept
    I panted like a pup
    I blew a hole in Mrs. Richard Holmes
    And her hu************and stupidly stood up
    As he screamed, "You are an evil man"
    And I paused a while to wonder
    "If I have no free will then how can I
    Be morally culpable, I wonder"
    I shot Richard Holmes in the stomach
    And gingerly he sat down
    And he whispered weirdly, "No offense"
    And then lay upon the ground
    "None taken", I replied to him
    To which he gave a little cough
    With blazing wings I neatly aimed
    And blew his head completely off
    I've lived in this town for thirty years
    And to no-one I am a stranger
    And I put new bullets in my gun
    Chamber upon chamber
    And I turned my gun on the bird-like Mr. Brookes
    I thought of Saint Francis and his sparrows
    And as I shot down the youthful Richardson
    It was St. Sebastian I thought of, and his arrows
    Hhhhhhhhhh Mmmmmmmmmmmm

    I said, "I want to introduce myself
    And I am glad that all you came"
    And I leapt upon the bar
    And shouted out my name
    Well Jerry Bellows, he hugged his stool
    Closed his eyes and shrugged and laughed
    And with an ashtray as big as a ******* really big brick
    I split his head in half
    His blood spilled across the bar
    Like a steaming scarlet brook
    And I knelt at it's edge on the counter
    Wiped the tears away and looked
    Well, the light in there was blinding
    Full of God and ghosts of truth
    I smiled at Henry Davenport
    Who made an attempt to move
    Well, from the position I was standing
    The strangest thing I ever saw
    The bullet entered through the top of his chest
    And blew his bowels out on the floor
    Well I floated down the counter
    Showing no remorse
    I shot a hole in Kathleen Carpenter
    Recently divorced
    But remorse i felt and remorse I had
    It clung to every thing
    From the raven's hair upon my head
    To the feathers on my wings
    Remorse sqeezed my hand in it's fradulent claw
    With it's golden hairless chest
    And I glided through the bodies
    And killed the fat man Vincent West
    Who sat quietly in his chair
    A man become a child
    And I raised the gun up to his head
    Executioner-style
    He made no attempt to resist
    So fat and dull and lazy
    "Did you know I lived in your street?" I said
    And he looked at me as though I were crazy
    "O", he said, "I had no idea"
    And he grew as quiet as a mouse
    And the roar of the pistol when it went off
    Near blew that hat right off the house
    Hmmmmmm Uh Uh

    Well, I caught my eye in the mirror
    And gave it a long and loving inspection
    "There stands some kind of man", I roared
    And there did, in the reflection
    My hair combed back like a raven's wing
    My muscles hard and tight
    And curling from the business end of my gun
    Was a query-mark of cordite
    Well I spun to the left, I spun to the right
    And I spun to the left again
    "Fear me! Fear me! Fear me!"
    But no one did cause they were dead
    Huh! Hmmmmmmmmm

    And then there were the police sirens wailing
    And a bull-horn squelched and blared
    "Drop your weapons and come out
    With your hands held in the air"
    Well, I checked the chamber of my gun
    Saw I had one final bullet left
    My hand, it looked almost human
    As I raised it to my head
    "Drop your weapon and come out!
    Keep your hands above your head!"
    I had one one long hard think about dying
    And did exactly what they said
    There must have been fifty cops out there
    In a circle around O'Malley's bar
    "Don't shoot", I cried, "I'm a man unarmed!"
    So they put me in their car
    And they sped me away from that terrible scene
    And I glanced out of the window
    Saw O'Malley's bar, saw the cops and the cars
    And I started counting on my fingers
    Aaaaaah
    One Aaaaaah
    Two Aaaaaah
    Three Aaaaaaah
    O'Malley's bar
    O'Malley's bar
    O'Malley's bar
    O'Malley's bar
    O'Malley's bar
    O'Malley's bar
