Hiding All Away
Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

You went looking for me, dear

Down by the sea

You found some Iittle silver fish

But you didn't find me

I was hidin', dear, hidin' all away

I was hidin', dear, I was hidin' all away

You went to the museum

And you climbed a spiral stair

You searched for me all among

With a knowledgeable air

I was hidden, babe, I was hidin' all away

I was hidden, dear, I was hidin' all away

You entered the cathedral

When you heard the solemn knell

I was not sitting with the gargoyles

I was not swingin' from the bell

I was hidin', dear, I was hidin' all away

I was hidin', dear, I was hidin' all away

Alright there

You asked an electrician

If he'd seen me 'round his place

He touched you with his fingers

Sent sparks zappin' out your face

I was hidden, dear, I was hidin' all away

I was not there, dear, I was hidin' all away

Well, you went and asked the doctor

To get some advice

Well, he shot you full of Pethidine

And then he went and billed you twice

But I was hidin', dear, hidin' all away

I was hidin', dear, hidin' all away

You approached a High Court judge

You thought he'd be on the level

Well, he wrapped a rag around your face

And he beat you with his gavel

I was hidin', baby, I was hidin' all away

I was even hidden, dear, I was hidin' all away

You looked at the local constabulary

They said, he's up to his same old tricks

They leered at you with their baby blues

And rubbed jelly on their sticks

I had to get out of there, babe, I was hidin' all away

You better get out of there, dear, I was hiding all away

Alright there, alright there

You searched through all my poets

From Sappho through to Auden

I saw the book fall from your hands

As you slowly died of boredom

I had been there, dear, and I was not there anymore

I had been there, dear, now I'm hiding all away

You walked into the Hall of Fame

And approached my imitators

Some were stuffin' their faces with caviar

Some were eatin' cold potatoes

Well I was hidin', dear, I was hiding all away

I was hidin', dear, I was hiding all away

Well, you asked a famous cook if he'd seen me

He opened his oven wide

Well, he basted you with butter, babe

And he made you crawl inside

But I was not in there, dear, I was hiding all away

I was not in there, dear, I was hiding all away

You asked the butcher

Who lifted up his cleaver

Stuck his fist up your dress

Said he must've been a maid to leave you

But I had to get away, dear, I was hiding all away

I had to get away, dear, I was hidden all away

Alright there

Some of us, we hide away

Some of us, we don't

Some will live to love another day

And some of us won't

But we all know there is a law

And that law, it is love

And we all know there is a war comin'

Comin' from above

There is a war comin'

There is a war comin'

There is a war comin'
