Lyrics for 'When I First Came To Town' by 'Nick Cave'
When I First Came To Town
All The People Gathered Round
They Bought Me Drinks
Lord, How They Quickly Changed Their Tune

When I First Came To Town
People Took Me Round From End To End
Like Someone May Take Round A Friend
O How Quickly They Changed Their Tune

Suspicion And Dark Murmurs Surround Me
Everywhere I Go They Confound Me
As Though The Blood On My Hands
Is There For Every Citizen To See

O Sweet Jesus
There Is No Turning Back
There Is Always One More Town
A Little Further Down The Track

And From My Window, Across The Tracks
I Watch The Juicers Burn Their Fires
And In That Light
Their Faces Leer At Me
How I Wish They'd Just Let Me Be

When I First Came To Town
Their Favours Were For Free
Now Even The Doors Of The Whores Of This Town
Are Closed To Me

I Search The Mirror
And I Try To See
Why The People Of This Town
Have Washed Their Hands Of Me

O Sweet Jesus
There Is No Turning Back
There Is Always One More Town
A Little Further Down The Track

O Lord, Every God-damn Turn I Take
I Fear The Noose, I Fear The Stake
For There Is No Bone
They Did Not Break
In All The Towns I've Been Before

Well Those That Sin Against Me Are Snuffed Out
I Know From Every Day That I Live
God-damn The Day That I Was Born
The Night That Forced Me From The Womb
And God-damn This Town
For I Am Leaving Now
But One Day I Will Return
And The People Of This Town Will Surely See
Just How Quickly The Tables Turn

O Sweet Jesus
This Really Is The End
There Is Always One More Town
A Little Further Round The End
