Wonderful Life - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Come in, babe

Across these purple fields

The sun has sunk behind you

Across these purple fields

That idiot-boy in the corner

Is speaking deviated truths

Come on, admit it, babe

It’s a wonderful life

If you can find it If you can find it If you can find it It’s a wonderful life that you bring

Ooh it’s a wonderful thing

Speak our secret into your hands

And hold it in between

Plunge your hands into the water

And drown it in the sea

There will be nothing between us, baby

But the air that we breathe

Don’t cry

It’s a wonderful, wonderful life

If you can find it If you can find it If you can find it It’s a wonderful life that you bring

It’s a wonderful, wonderful thing

We can build our dungeons in the air

And sit and cry the blues

We can stomp across this world

With nails hammered through our shoes

We can join that troubled chorus

Who criticise and accuse

It don’t matter much

We got nothing much to lose

But this wonderful life

If you can find it And when you find it And when you find it It’s a wonderful life that you bring

It’s a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful thing

Sometimes our secrets are all we’ve got

With our lives we must defend

Sometimes the air between us, babe

Is unbearably thin

Sometimes it’s wise to lay down your gloves

And just give in Come in, come in Come in, come in To this wonderful life

If you can find it And if you find it It’s a wonderful life that you bring

It’s a wonderful, wonderful thing

It’s a wonderful life

It’s a wonderful life
