nick cave and the bad seeds - people ain’t no good lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
people just ain’t no good
i think that’s well understood
you can see it everywhere you look
people just ain’t no good

[verse 2]
we were married under cherry trees
under blossom we made our vows
all the blossoms come sailing down
through the streets and through the playgrounds

[verse 3]
the sun would stream on the sheets
awoken by the morning bird
we’d buy the sunday newspapers
never read a single word

[chorus]
people, they ain’t no good
people, they ain’t no good
people, they ain’t no good at all

[verse 4]
seasons came, seasons went
the winter stripped the blossoms bare
a different tree now lines the streets
shaking its fists in the air

[verse 5]
the winter slammed us like a fist
the windows rattling in the gales
to which she drew the curtains
made out of her wedding veils

[chorus]
people, they ain’t no good
people, they ain’t no good
people, they ain’t no good at all

[verse 6]
to our love, send a dozen white lilies
to our love, send a coffin of wood
to our love, let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo
that people, they just ain’t no good

[verse 7]
to our love, send back all the letters
to our love, a valentine of blood
to our love, let all the jilted lovers cry
that people, they just ain’t no good

[verse 8]
it ain’t that in their hearts they’re bad
they can comfort you, some even try
they nurse you when you’re ill of health
they bury you when you go and die

[verse 9]
it ain’t that in their hearts they’re bad
they’d stick by you if they could
but that’s just bullsh-t baby
people just ain’t no good

[chorus]
people, they ain’t no good
people, they ain’t no good
people, they ain’t no good at all
