Jubilee Street Songtext

von Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Jubilee Street" von Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds erzählt die Geschichte eines Mädchens namens Bee, das auf Jubilee Street ...

On Jubilee street there was a girl named Bee
She had a history, but she had no past
When they shut her down
The Russians moved in
And I am to scared
And I am to scared to even walk on past

She used to say
All those good people down on Jubilee Street
They ought to practice what they preach
Here they are to practice just what they preach
Those good people on Jubilee Street

And here I come up the hill
I'm pushing my own wheel of love
I got love in my tummy and a tiny little pain
And a ten ton catastrophe on a 60 pound chain
And I'm pushing my wheel of love on Jubilee Streets
I look at them now

The problem was
She had a little black book
And my name was written on every page
Well a girl's gotta make ends meet
Even down Jubilee Street

I was out of place and time,
And over the hill,
And out of my mind
On Jubilee Street
I ought to ṗractice what I preach
These days I go downtown in my tie and tails
I got a foetus on the leash

I am alone now,
I am beyond recriminations
Curtains are shut,
The furniture is gone
I'm transforming
I'm vibrating,
I'm glowing
I'm flying,
Look at me now
I'm flying,
Look at me now
