Lirieke: Nick Cave & The Bad Seed. That's What Jazz Is To Me.

Jazz
[Incomprehensible]
Fire eating drag queens dressed as society whores
Crazy two timing bitches running round [Incomprehensible]
Ghetto blasting blasters, blasting magnificently

Blossoms falling from the cherry trees
That's what jazz is to me

High buildings with crippled backs
Circle around my dreams
I clutch at the greasy tails of my dreams

White blossom falling from the cherry trees
That's what jazz is to me

Ten bottles standing in a row military style
With hats pulled low over their brows
A thousand wasted hours
Skeletons entwined fucking and braying
[Incomprehensible]

Blossoms falling from the cherry tree
That's what jazz is to me

History repeating itself like a thing aloof
All the great cars of the world in one massive collision
All the doctors swallowed up by one incompetence
All the great theorists and teachers eaten alive
[Incomprehensible]


Religious ecstasy and a blossom falling from a cherry tree
That's what jazz is to me

Blind fish being used as musical scales
Sharks puffed for fish and whales
I long to be by the sea

Where a blossom falls from a cherry tree
That's what jazz is to me

Three forms, four forms, five forms, six forms
Seven forms, eight forms, nine forms, yeah
A blossom falling from the cherry tree
That's what jazz is to me

As Einstein said about his theory
I love it, I love it, I love jazz

It's in your heart
It's in your soul
It's in your mind

The color of death, sweet vanilla essence
Richard Harris and Donald Pleasance
And a cherry blossom falling from a cherry tree
That's what jazz is to me
