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

Hard On For Love

It is for she that the cherry bleeds
And the moon is steeped in milk and blood
That I steal like a robber
From her altar of love
Oh money lender!
Oh cloven 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)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Well, I swear I’ve seen that girl before
She looked like she walked straight outta the book of Leviticus
And they can stone me with stones, I don’t care
Just as long as I can get a kiss
From those gypsy lips!
Those 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)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
And he leadeth me like a lamb to the lips
Of the mouth of the valley of the shadow 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
Well I’m gonna give the gates a shove
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
And her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts 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
Oh you are beautiful!
Oh dove!
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
Hard on for love (Hard on for love)
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
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her…
