Nick Cave & The Bad Seed - Hard On For Love Lyrics

It is for she that the cherry bleeds

That the moon is steeped in mild nad blood

That I steal like a robber

From her altar of love

O money lender! O clover gender!

I am the fiend hid in her skirts

And it's as hot as hell in here

Coming at her as I am from above

Hard on for love hard on for love

Hard on for love hard on for love



Well, I swear I seen that girl before

Like she walked straight outa the book of Leveticus

But they can stone me with stones I don't care



Just as long as I can get to kiss

Those gypsy lips! Gypsy lips!

My aim is to hit this Miss

And I'm moving in (I'm moving in)

Coming at her like Lazarus from above

Hard on for love hard on for love

Hard on for love hard on for love



The Lord is my shepard I shall not want

The Lord is my shepard I shall not want

But he ledeth me like a lamb to the lips

Of the mouth of the valley of the whadow of death

I am his rod and his staff

I am his sceptre and shaft

And she is heaven and hell

At whose gates I ain't been delivered

I'm gunna give the gates a shove

Hard on for love hard on for love

Hard on for love hard on for love



And her breasts rise and fall

Breast rise and fall

Breast rise and fall

Breast rise and fall

And just when I'm about to get my hands on her

Just when I'm about to get my hands on her

Just when I'm about to get my hands on her

Just when I'm about to get my hands on her

You are beautiful! O dove!

Hard on for love hard on for love

Hard on for love hard on for love



Just when I'm about to get my hands on her

Just when I'm about to get my hands on her



Her breasts rise and fall

Her breasts rise and fall



Just when I'm about to get my hands on her

Just when I'm about to get my hands on her



Hard on for love hard on for love

Hard on for love hard on for love
