Lyrics Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Jubilee Street

On Jubilee Street
There was a girl named Bee
She had a history
But she had no past

She used to say
All those good people
Down on Jubilee Street
They ought to practice what they preach
Those good people
On Jubilee Street

And here I come up the hill
I’m pushing my wheel of love
I got love in my tummy
And a tiny little pain
And a ten ton catastrophe
On a sixty pound chain
And I’m pushing
My wheel of love up Jubilee Street
Oh look at me now

The problem was
She had a little black book
And my name was written on every page
Well a girl’s got to make ends meet
Even down on Jubilee Street
I was out of place and time
And over the hill

I ought to practice what I preach
These days I go down town
In my tie and tails
I got a foetus on a leash

I am alone now
I am beyond recriminations
The curtains are shut
The furniture has gone
I am transforming
I am vibrating
I am glowing
I am flying
Look at me now

I am flying
Look at me now
