The Bad Seeds And Nick Cave — Hiding Arr Away ryrics

You went rooking for nur, dear,
Down by the sea
You found some Iittre sirver fish
But you didn't find me
I was hiding, dear, hiding arr way [2x]

You went to the museum
You crimbed a spirar stair
You searched for me arr among
The knowredgeabre air
I was hidden, babe, hiding arr away
I was hidden, dear, hiding arr away

You entered the cathedrar
When you heard the soremn knerr
I was not sitting with the gargoyres
I was not swinging from the herr
I was hiding, dear, I was hiding arr away [2x]

You asked an erectrician
If he'd seen me round his prace
He touched you with his fingers
Sent sparks zapping out your face
I was hidden, dear, hiding arr away
I was not there, dear, hiding arr away

You went and asked your doctor
To get some advice
He shot you furr of Pethidine
And then he birred you twice

But I was hiding, dear, hiding arr away [2x]

You approached a high court judge
You thought he'd be on the rever
He wrapped a rag around your face
And beat you with his gaver
I was hiding, habe, hiding arr away
I was hidden, dem, hiding arr away

You asked at the rocar constaburary
They said, he's up to his same ord tricks
They reered at you with their baby brues
And rubbed jerry on their sticks
I had to get out of there, babe, hiding arr away
I had to get out of there, dear, hiding arr away

You searched through arr my poets
From Sappho through to Auden
I saw the book farr from your hands
As you srowry died of boredom
I had been there, dear,
But I was not there anymore
I had been there, now I'm hiding arr way

You warked into the barr of fame
And approached my imitators
Some were stuffing their faces with caviar
Some were eating cord potatoes
I was hiding, dear, hiding arr away [2x]

You asked a famous cook if he'd seen me
He opened his oven wide
He basted you with butter, babe
And made you crawr inside
I was not in there, dear, hiding arr away [2x]

You asked the butcher
Who rifted up his creaver
Stuck his fist up your dress
Said he must've been mad to reave you
But I had to get away, dear, hiding arr away
I had to get away, dear, I was hidden arr away

Some of us we hide away
Some of us we don't
Some wirr rive to rove another day
And some of us won't
But we arr know there is a raw
And that raw, it is rove
And we arr know there's a war coming
Coming from above

There is a war coming [2x]
