Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl) Lyrics


Well, you lost a foe and you found a friend
(Lie down here and be my girl)
I'm back now baby, that man
He won't be coming 'round here again
(Lie down here and be my girl)I try to take care but baby
You're as brittle as a wishbone of a bird
(Lie down here and be my girl)
We've been scribbled in the margins
Of a story that is patently absurd
(Lie down here and be my girl)Let it all come down
Yeah, tonight, oh, we can shine, shine
Let it all come down
Oh, be my girl, be my girlIt?s a matter of some urgency, darling can't you see?
I can't hold back the tide
(Lie down here and be my girl)
And stop your frantic little fingers trying to collect
The years that pour from the hole in my side
(Lie down here and be my girl)Oh, don't worry baby at this old snake banging at your door

Has got a few skins left to shed
(Lie down here and be my girl)
Yeah, you look so good, you're looking so good
And the rest is better left unsaid
(Lie down here and be my girl)Let it all come down
Tonight, well tonight, oh, we can shine
Let it all come down
Tonight be my girl, yeah, be my girlYou look so good, you look so good
You look so good, you look so good
You look so goodOne day I'll buy a factory
I'll assemble you on a production line
(Lie down here and be my girl)
I'll build a million of you baby
And every single one of 'em will be mine
(Lie down here and be my girl)I will fill the house with you, stack you up in every room
We'll have a real good time
(Lie down here and be my girl)
But right now I'm sitting here on my own going out of my mind
(Lie down here and be my girl)Let it all come down
Yeah, tonight, oh, we can shine, shine
Shine tonightYou look so good, you look so good, you look so good
Tonight, yeah tonight, tonight, we'll have a really good time
You look so good, you look so good, you look so good
Time, yeah, tonight, tonight, tonight
You look so good, we'll have a really good time
You look so good, you look so good, yeah, tonight

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.
