Long Time Fan - Lyrics by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds


Lyrics

Oh, plane, take me away.
Said, i'll be sittin' here for the rest of my life
And i am really scared-- nick's not coming tonight.


And brother, i can't even think of a reason why...


Oh it makes a long time fan feel bad
Yeah, it makes a long time fan feel bad


Well, i ain't had no nick since i don't know when
It sure makes a long time fan feel bad


It was back in jacksonville
Cold windy night
My friends and i-- we began to like
That black-haired guy
And we grabbed our tickets...
Ooooh. i get so cold on those nights we were waiting to buy tickets....
And we would listen to him right there on the kitchen floor
We'd look at one another and begin to smile
His gaspin' words...
"from her.. to eternity"
And we'd imagine those baby blue eyes


Oh, makes along time fan feel bad
Uuuh, yeah it makes a long time fan feel bad
I ain't had no nick since i don't know when..
It sure makes along time fan feel bad
Yeah, makes a long time fan feel bad


Yeaaaah, yeah makes a fan feel so bad
Sometimes i hear your religious voice in the dead of the night


Makes a long time fan feel bad
Yeaaah, makes a long time fan feel bad
Mmmmmmmm, yeah. feeeel bad, bad


I ain't had that crowd around me
I ain't had that nick, that nick around me


It sure makes a long time fan feel bad, so bad
It sure makes a long time fan feel bad
Makes a long time fan feel bad, so bad....
