Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - There She Goes, My Beautiful World Lyrics






The wintergreen, the juniper
The cornflower and the chicory
All the words you said to me
Still vibrating in the air
The elm, the ash and the linden tree
The dark and deep, enchanted sea
The trembling moon and the stars unfurled
There she goes, my beautiful world

There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes again

John Willmot penned his poetry
riddled with the pox
Nabakov wrote on index cards,
at a lectem, in his socks
St. John of the Cross did his best stuff
imprisoned in a box
And JohnnyThunders was half alive
when he wrote Chinese Rocks

Well, me, I'm lying here, with nothing in my ears
Me, I'm lying here, with nothing in my ears
Me, I'm lying here, for what seems years
I'm just lying on my bed with nothing in my head

Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me

There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes again

Karl Marx squeezed his carbuncles
while writing Das Kapital
And Gaugin, he buggered off, man,
and went all tropical
While Philip Larkin stuck it out
in a library in Hull
And Dylan Thomas died drunk in
St. Vincent's hospital

I will kneel at your feet
I will lie at your door
I will rock you to sleep
I will roll on the floor
And I'll ask for nothing
Nothing in this life
I'll ask for nothing
Give me ever-lasting life

I just want to move the world
I just want to move the world
I just want to move the world
I just want to move

There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes again

So if you got a trumpet, get on your feet,
brother, and blow it
If you've got a field, that don't yield,
well get up and hoe it
I look at you and you look at me and
deep in our hearts know it
That you weren't much of a muse,
but then I weren't much of a poet

I will be your slave
I will peel you grapes
Up on your pedestal
With your ivory and apes
With your book of ideas
With your alchemy
O Come on
Send that stuff on down to me

Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send it all around the world
Cause here she comes, my beautiful girl

There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes again

    1848, 24 o' february. Socialism and utopy.

  6. H.... G....

    Awesome.

  7. d.... 8....

    Earthquake in London brought me here

  8. A.... ....

    Great song😎

  9. T.... ....

    I need a new laptop. This ones shit!!!

  10. J.... T....

    I really like this album.

  11. P.... L....

    Hey! It's the greatest song ever written by our greatest songwriter. That's what brought me here. Anybody who has ever attempted to create anything should have to scream this at the top of their motherfucking lungs at least once before they die/quit/what-have-you.

  12. S.... P....

    31 de idioti.

  13. J.... H....

    Their best tune in my opinion, wouldn't sound out of place on the Grinderman albums either

  14. J.... N....

    I'm from KEXP

  15. B.... R....

    I am going to see Nick Cave tomorrow night at the O2 in London, UK. I pray he plays this song - my all-time favourite Nick Cave song...and that's going some.

  16. a.... m....

    earthquakes in london brought me here

  17. l.... ....

    only nick cave can write a great song about writers block!:)

    l.... ....

    England by The National is also a great song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9H-g6hC5Yc

    l.... ....

    lordangrusblitz There's another one though, Bon Jovi's My Guitar Lies Bleeding in my Arms... 😜

    l.... ....

    Kind of obvious, but Dancing in the Dark is another great writer's block song

    l.... ....

    👏👏👏👏👏

  18. c.... j....

    Phillip Larkin studied in a library in Hull ...... great song Nick Cave rocks

  19. S.... P....

    This song is a masterpiece!!!!!

  20. C.... R....

    powerful and amazing

  21. D.... P....

    doesn'y get much better

  22. L.... O....

    Did you get the fare home off him?

  23. B.... L....

    Now then. Some critics here. Why? Obviously they have not a clue. Cave often makes it look too easy. He is gifted. Then, people tend to raise their expectations. Seems unfair. Or, expect too much. This is as refined as it can possibly get from Cave. There are few songwriters that could even hope to match this. Much of his work. I mean. After all these years. Who comes close?

    B.... L....

    Brad Ley from m the birthday party to its latest lineup. I'll be fortunate enough to see them in Berkeley this June

    B.... L....

    Frank Black of course

  24. M.... C....

    Stevey Garland brought me here

  33. E.... A....

    He is so Gifted and Charismatic Artist... He is My Personal Strength.

  34. G.... K....

    Great song, as for the Chinese Rocks reference, sometimes its about the poetry of the situation.The immediacy of a certain reference. It's legitimacy is irrelevant.

    G.... K....

    +George Keskeny Victorian homosexual

    G.... K....

    +mia lowenna .young
    I know you have my best interest at heart.

    G.... K....

    'And Johnny Thunders was half alive when he wrote Chinese Rocks' And lost of poestry, yeah¡

  35. C.... J....

    Andrew Marr brought me here.How have i missed this?

  36. L.... N....

    Andrew Marr brought me here.

    L.... N....

    +steve brindle you're welcome my child. now go forth and spread the socialist teachings of the son I had crucified for my own amusement

    L.... N....

    :) Will do boss

    L.... N....

    +1 and he has horrible ears.

    L.... N....

    Who the fuck is that cunt?

    L.... N....

    He is the man behind Marrs. Pump up the volume :)

  37. h.... ....

    This is so true. I sit down to work on my story and...nothing. My beautiful world is off partying with someone else, and I can't think of a single thing to write.

    h.... ....

    get yourself angry. say fuck frequently. see what wants to come out.

  38. e.... ....

    I just heard the news about his son. So very sad. I wanted to do something, so I bought this song on iTunes.

  39. A.... D....

    St Vincent brought me here.

    A.... D....

    Did she cover it?

    A.... D....

    She got inspired for her stage-name from the lyrics

    A.... D....

    A mene Bogdana ...!!!

    A.... D....

    Dylan Thomas brought me here ;)

  40. G.... W....

    Fun fact: Johnny Thunders didn't write 'Chinese Rocks', Richard Hell and DeeDee Ramone did.

    G.... W....

    exactly

  41. m.... r....

    St. Vincent brought me here. 

  42. M.... O....

    The last truly great Bad Seeds album...

    M.... O....

    oh come on

    M.... O....

    Agreed some great songs on DLD.

    M.... O....

    Skeleton Tree was a phenomenal album, absolutely bursts with emotion. May not be what everyone was used to. But it doesnt stop it from being amazing

    M.... O....

    PTSA and Skeleton Tree are their best albums imo, so I don't agree. But well we're all gonna have different opinions, and who knows you might actually feel the same if you listen to these albums multiple times ^^

    M.... O....

    Uh, no. There's a reason Skeleton Tree is one of the most acclaimed albums of the current decade. ETA: fair play, it didn't exist yet when you wrote your comment, but DLD and PtSA both did, and they're also exceptional. Cave's late career is at least as good as anybody's.

  43. M.... ....

    SAINT VINCENT

  44. R.... P....

    Say that stuff about me...

    R.... P....

    The lyric is 'send that stuff on down to me' not 'say that stuff about me.' He's talking about inspiration, as the tune is about overcoming writers' block.

  45. C.... A....

    this is perfect

    C.... A....

    adorei
    !!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

  46. b.... ....

    This song turns my breakups into rock'n'roll. Amazing!

  47. l.... ....

    This song is simply epic!

  48. s.... ....

    finally a "love song" i can relate to!!!

  49. E.... O....

    I'm on a mission when I hear this...

  50. T.... ....

    Due to the fact that i have just lost my girl
    This song is very painful.....

    T.... ....

    TheKijakoatl did you get another one?

  51. J.... ....

    hahaha yes of course! :)

  52. A.... S....

    ...on this song. (worth to mention knowing bieber still exists)

  53. J.... ....

    It should be illegal to press the dislike button

  54. F.... S....

    Perfect

  55. M.... B....

    Corns Suck...Love the music!

  56. M.... B....

    did Karl Marx have Carbuncles? LOL... hmm... Maybe Mr Cave has corns! Man they suck...

  57. D.... W....

    spot on

  58. J.... C....

    riddled with the pawwwwwwcks

    J.... C....

    Hahahahaha those low notes

  59. A.... F....

    "I look at you, look you at me, and deep down in our hearts, babe, we know it, that you weren't much of a muse, and I weren't much of a poet" --- perfect

    A.... F....

    One of the best lines

  60. L.... P....

  61. B.... ....

    this makes me happy <3

  62. l.... ....
