Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Rock Of Gibraltar Lyrics

There are many: but one of my favorite Nick Cave songs..

[Verse 1]
Let me say this to you
I'll be steadfast and true
And my love will never falter
The sea would crash about us
The waves would lash about us
I'll be your Rock of Gibraltar

[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's hard
And we're both caught off guard
But there's nothing I would ever alter
The wind could howl round our ears
For the next thousand years
I'd still be your Rock of Gibraltar

[Verse 3]
The best thing I done
Was to make you the one
Who I'd walk with down to the altar
You'd stand by me
And together we'd be
That great, steady Rock of Gibraltar

[Verse 4]
Under the big yellow moon
On our honeymoon
I took you on a trip to Malta
And all through the night
You held me so tight
Your great, steady Rock of Gibraltar

[Verse 5]
Could the powers that be
Ever foresee
That things could so utterly alter?
All the plans that we laid
Could soon be betrayed
Betrayed like the Rock of Gibraltar

Where the rock is today, how do you get waves crashing around it?

Where does it say in the lyrics waves crash around it?

"Fuck off, Gibraltar!"

fuck you rule britania

thanks for this! brillant lyrics???
