Higgs Boson Blues Lyrics


Can’t remember anything at all
Flamed trees lie in the streets
Can’t remember anything at all
But I’m driving my car down to Geneva
I’ve been sitting in my basement patio
Aye, it was hot
Up above, girls walk past, roses all in bloom
Have you ever heard about the Higgs Boson blues
I’m goin’ down to Geneva baby, gonna teach it to you
Who cares, who cares what the future brings?
Black road long and I drove and drove
Came upon a crossroad
The night was hot and black
I see Robert Johnson,
With a ten dollar guitar strapped to his back,
Lookin’ for a tune
Well here comes Lucifer,
With his cannon law,

And a hundred black babies runnin’ from his genocidal Joe
He got the real killer groove
Robert Johnson and the devil man
Don’t know who’s gonna rip off who
Driving my car, flame trees on fire
Sitting and singin’ the Higgs Boson blues,
I’m tired, I’m lookin’ for a spot to drop
All the clocks have stopped in Memphis now
And in the rain motel it’s hot, it’s hot,
That’s why they call it the Hot Spot
I take a room with a view
Hear a man preaching in a language that’s completely new, yeah
Making the hot cocks in the flop house bleed
While the cleaning ladies sob into their mops
And the bell ho-hops and bops
A shot rings out to a spiritual groove
Everybody bleeding, to the Higgs Boson blues
And if I die now
Bury me in my favorite yellow patent leather shoes
With a mummified cat, and a [c_____] hat
That the Caliphate forced on the Jews
Can you feel my heartbeat, can you feel my heartbeat
Hannah Montana, does the African savannah, as the simulated rainy season begins
She curses the cue with the Zulu
And moves onto Amazonia, cries with the dolphins
Mama ate the pygmy, the pygmy ate the monkey,
The monkey has a gift that keeps sending back to you
Look, here comes the missionary, with his smallpox and flu
He’s saving them savages, with his Higgs Boson blues
I’m driving my car down to Geneva
I’m driving my car down to Geneva
Aw, let the damn day break
Rainy days always make me sad
Miley Cyrus floats in a swimming pool in Taluka Lake
And you’re the best girl I ever had
Can’t remember anything at all

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Australia (1984 – present)
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds was originally formed in 1984 by two former members of the Australian band The Birthday Party: Nick Cave (vocals, songwriter, keyboards, harmonica) and multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey. They were joined by Einstürzende Neubauten member Blixa Bargeld (guitar), Hugo Race (guitar), and former Magazine member Barry Adamson (bass, piano). Cave’s former girlfriend Anita Lane was also a creative influence and occasional lyricist. This line-up recorded their debut album, From Her To Eternity, released in 1984. During their initial Australian tour, Birthday Party bass guitarist Tracy Pew also performed with the band.

The name of the new project indicated the shift in Cave’s role from band member, as in The Birthday Party, to band leader, and coincided with his shift in songwriting style from expressionism to detailed lyrical narrative. The group has been through many personnel changes, with Cave and Harvey remaining the constants.

Cave separated from Lane in the mid-1980s and began a relationship with Elisabeth Recker. While in Berlin, he released four albums with the Bad Seeds: The Firstborn Is Dead; Kicking Against the Pricks; Your Funeral… My Trial; and Tender Prey. Kicking Against the Pricks was the first album to feature the drumming of Swiss Thomas Wydler, who is the longest serving member in the band beside Cave and Mick Harvey.

In 1987, the Bad Seeds made an appearance in the Wim Wenders film, Wings of Desire. In 1990, the band collectively eliminated hard drugs from its diet, relocated to Brazil, and released The Good Son. Their next record, 1992’s Henry’s Dream, was the first to feature current members Martyn P. Casey and Conway Savage. Following it came 1994’s Let Love In.
