Ah tell ya 'bout a girl You know, she in apt. That's the one up top a mine I to cry, I to cry Oh, I hear her walkin' Walkin' cross the floor-boards All this night And I hear her too Hot-tears come splashin' on down Leaking the cracks Down upon my face I 'em in my mouth Walk and cry, walk and cry From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity I read her on her sheets Scrutinizing little of dirt Tore out a page and it my shirt Fled the window And it down the vine Outta her nightmare And back into mine Mine! From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity Cry! She's them bloo-stockens, I bet And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling Listen I know it must absurd But I can hear the most sound I ever heard Walk and cry, and cry From her to eternity From her to eternity Oh tell me why?

Why the still shakes? Why the turn to snakes? This to her is a wound And it's naggin' at me like a shrew But I know, that to her Is, therefore, not to her O o o then ya know That lil girl just have to go Go! From her to eternity.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds was originally formed in late 1983 by two former members of the Australian band The Birthday Party: Nick Cave (vocals, songwriter, keyboards, harmonica) and Mick Harvey (drums, guitar, bass, keyboards, occasional songwriter). The name of the new project indicated the shift in Cave’s role from lead singer, as in The Birthday Party, to band leader, and coincided with his shift in songwriting style from expressionism to detailed lyrical narrative. Cave and Harvey were joined by a semi-fluid group of bandmates, initially including Einstrzende Neubauten member Blixa Bargeld (guitar), Hugo Race (guitar), and former Magazine member Barry Adamson (guitar, bass, piano). After some studio work, the band’s premiere public performance was held on New Year’s Eve, 1983, in Melbourne, under the name “Nick Cave – Man Or Myth?”, followed by a tour. The band then briefly called themselves “Nick Cave and the Cavemen” before adopting the “Bad Seeds” moniker, in reference to the final Birthday Party release, The Bad Seed E.P. The group soon recorded their debut album, From Her to Eternity, released in 1984, which was quickly followed by Race’s departure.

Cave separated from long-time girlfriend and credited Bad Seed lyricist Anita Lane in the mid-1980s and began a relationship with Elisabeth Recker. While in Berlin, he released four albums with the Bad Seeds: The Firstborn Is Dead; Kicking Against the Pricks; Your Funeral, My Trial; and Tender Prey. Kicking Against the Pricks was the first album to feature the drumming of Swiss Thomas Wydler, which was shortly followed by Adamson’s departure and the arrival of American guitarist Kid Congo Powers, along with short-tenured keyboardist Roland Wolf. In 1987, the Bad Seeds made an appearance in the Wim Wenders film Wings of Desire. 1990s In 1990, the band collectively eliminated hard drugs from its diet, relocated to Brazil, and released The Good Son, Powers’ final collaboration with the band. Their next record, 1992’s Henry’s Dream, was the first to feature current members Martyn Casey and Conway Savage. Following it came 1994’s Let Love In.
