Madrugada - '' Black Mambo ''


When you're on your own
And you've got them twisting bones
And a red hot poker burning in your ear
You think you've had it
But you ain't nowhere near
You think you've had it
But you're nowhere near

Ah black mambo gonna knock you down to the ground
Black mambo little chicken better run


Don't let the children catch you
Don't let the children catch you

Gonna lock you down with liquor and love
Black mambo, little chicken better run, run, run
Don't let them catch you out here on the street
Cause you've got no soul
Black mambo, little chicken better run, run, run



I lock you down with liquor and love
I lock you down with liquor and love
Ah black mambo with a funeral horn
You better run, you better run, you better run
Black mambo coming for you

Ah black mambo comes knocking with a funeral horn
Black mambo little chicken better run, run, run

Madrugada - '' The Riverbed ''


Moon,
How it falls on the field down among us.
Rain,
falls on the king, and his men on the riverbed.
Now,
Now we meet after all these years.

Do you my king, do you remember me?

Yeah, I see your face before me now.

And I'm telling you tonight, that I know we belong,
Beyond this life.
The war has taken its turn, and it ain't ever turning back.

I grew to be a man
A man who grew to be a king.
Got a job at the mill,
And when the war came
I signed up for you.

Every day now,
I send a letter to the people back home.
Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived.
Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this war.
And I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong,
And we must die.
Well, now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed.

Drums roll,
And we must go.
We must go, the enemy is upon us.
Rise from your knee,
And now, pull to the bridge.

Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now.
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed.
For I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong,
And we must die.
It doesn't matter much now anyway,
Tonight we unite.

And when we're pushing through,
I turn around one last time,
And through the fire and the rain
I see the king's white flag.

The king lives on,

But everyone

Everybody dies.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - '' Stagger Lee ''


It was back in '32 when times were hard
He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards
Stagger Lee

He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hat
Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that
Stagger Lee

His woman threw him out in the ice and snow
And told him, "Never ever come back no more"
Stagger Lee

So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud
Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood
Stagger Lee

He said "Mr Motherfucker, you know who I am"
The barkeeper said, "No, and I don't give a good goddamn"
To Stagger Lee

He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to see
I'm that bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"
Mr. Stagger Lee

Barkeep said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way
And I kick motherfucking asses like you every day"
Mr Stagger Lee

Well those were the last words that the barkeep said
'Cause Stag put four holes in his motherfucking head

Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown
Was known to make more money than any bitch in town

She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt
Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt
With Stagger Lee

She saw the barkeep, said, "O God, he can't be dead!"
Stag said, "Well, just count the holes in the motherfucker's head"

She said, "You ain't look like you scored in quite a time.
Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime"
Mr. Stagger Lee

"But there's something I have to say before you begin
You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in,
Mr. Stagger Lee"

"I'll stay here till Billy comes in, till time comes to pass
And furthermore I'll fuck Billy in his motherfucking ass"
Said Stagger Lee

"I'm a bad motherfucker, don't you know
And I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one fat boy's asshole"
Said Stagger Lee

Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says, "You must be
That bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"
Stagger Lee

"Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees
And suck my dick, because If you don't you're gonna be dead"
Said Stagger Lee

Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head
And Stag filled him full of lead
Oh yeah.
