Karaoké O Children Nick Cave

Pass me that lovely little gun

My dear, my darling one

The cleaners are coming one by one

You don't even want to let them start

They're knocking now upon your door

They measure the room

They know the score

They're mopping up the butcher's floor of your broken little hearts

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Children

Forgive us now for what we've done

It started out as a bit of fun

Here take these before we run away

The keys to the gulag

O children

Children

Mmh

Mmh

Lift up your voice

Lift up your voice

Lift up your voice

Children

Children

Rejoice

Rejoice

Come on

Rejoice

Come on

Come on

Come on

Here comes Frank and poor old Jim

They're gathering 'round with all my friends

We're older now

The light is dim

And you are only just beginning

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Children

We have the answer to all your fears

It's short, it's simple

It's crystal clear

It's round about and it's somewhere here

Lost amongst our winnings

O children

O children

Oh oh

Lift up your voice

Lift up your voice

Lift up your voice

Children

Children

Rejoice

Oh rejoice

The cleaners have done

Rejoice their job on you

They're hip to it man

They're in the groove

They've hosed you down

You're good as new

And they're lining up to inspect you

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Children

Poor old Jim's white as a ghost

He's found the answer that we lost

We're all weeping now

Weeping because there ain't nothing we can do to protect you

O children

O children

Lift up your voice

Lift up your voice

Lift up your voice

Lift up your voice

Children

Children

Rejoice

Hey little train

Rejoice

Rejoice

Hey little train

We're all jumping on we're jumping on

The train that goes

The train that goes to the Kingdom to the Kingdom

Hoo

We're happy Ma

We're having fun

And the train ain't even left the station

Ooh

Hey little train wait for me

I once was blind but now I see

I once was blind but now I see

Have you left a seat for me

Hoo

Is that such a stretch

Ooh of the imagination

Hey little train wait for me

Was held in chains

Was held in chains but now I'm free but now I'm free

Hoo

I'm hanging in there don't you see in this process of elimination

Ooh

Hey little train we're jumping on

The train that goes to the Kingdom, we're

The train that goes to the Kingdom

Ooh children

We're happy Ma

We're having fun

It's beyond my wildest

Ooh children expectation

Hey little train we're jumping on

The train that goes to the Kingdom

The train that goes to the Kingdom

Ooh children

We're happy Ma

We're having fun

And the train ain't even left

Ooh children the station
