Greetings Hive Open Mic!!!
Well, it seems this will be my last Hive post for the year... and what a song to end 2021, the worst year in my 51 year old memory.
This is frankly the only song that came to mind for me when trying to think of the subject for this week, BTW a very hard one at least for myself.
This song is off the 1997 album from Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, "The Boatman's Call" and happens to be my favorite album from Nick. I hope you all enjoy!!!
Lyrics
People just ain't no good
I think that's well understood
You can see it everywhere you look
People just ain't no good
We were married under cherry trees
Under blossom we made our vows
All the blossoms come sailing down
Through the streets and through the playgrounds
The sun would stream on the sheets
Woken by the morning bird
We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
And never read a single word
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
Seasons came, seasons went
The winter stripped, the blossoms bare
A different tree now lines the streets
Shaking its fists in the air
The winter slammed us like a fist
The windows rattling in the gales
To which she drew the curtains
Made out of her wedding veils
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good at all
To our love send a dozen white lilies
To our love send a coffin of wood
To our love let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo
That people they just ain't no good
To our love send back all the letters
To our love a valentine of blood
To our love let all the jilted lovers cry
That people they just ain't no good
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They can comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health
They bury you when you go and die
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They'll stick by you if they could
Ah, but that's just bullshit, baby
People just ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good, at all
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good, at all
