O'Malley's Bar Pt. 1 - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Ahhh oh, my God

Oh, my God

They shot him in the motherfucking head

I am tall and I am thin

Of an enviable height

And I’ve been known to be quite handsome

From a certain angle and a certain light

Well I entered into O’Malley’s

Said, «O'Malley, I have a thirst»

O’Malley, he looked right through me

Said, «Some other fellow first»

I knocked on the bar and pointed

To a bottle on the shelf

Well, O’Malley walked past and scratched his ass

And I twitched and crossed myself

My hand decided that it had enough

And for a moment it slipped from view

When it returned, my hand had learned

A brand new trick or two

Well the thunder from my big black gun

Made all the glasses jangle

When I shot him, I was so handsome

It was the light, man, it was the angle

«Neighbours!»

I cried, «Friends!»

I screamed

I banged my fist upon the bar

I just shot old O’Malley

And my dick felt long and hard

I am the man who waits for no-one

My aim is straight and true

And I’m marked by darkness and by blood

So don’t nobody move!

Well, you know those fish with the swollen lips

That clean the ocean floor

When I looked at poor O’Malley’s wife

That’s exactly what I saw

I jammed the barrel under her chin

And her eyes bulged just like those nasty little fish

Her head, it landed in the sink

With all the dirty dishes

And her dirty little daughter Siobhan

Who we all had a little fun with

It seemed a bit unfair that she had to be there

So I thought I’d get her over and done with

I lept upon her, punching

She stared on in disbelief

Looking like the Madonna on the church-house wall

Painted in whale’s blood and banana leaf

Left hook, right hook, left hook, right

She spun round and round

I brought a mighty punch up from the floor

And I lifted her off the ground

Her head caved in like a melon

And my fists were gloved in gore

And I shot Counselor Caffrey in the back of the head

As he made a run for the door

Oh, my God

Oh, my God

He just shot him in the motherfucking head
