West Country Girl Lyrics by Nick Cave
Album : The Boatman's Call
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
With a crooked smile and a heart-shaped face
Comes from the west country where the birds sing bass
She's got a house-big heart where we all live
And plead and council and forgive
Her widow's peak, her lips I've kissed
Her glove of bones at her wrist
That I have held in my hand
Her spanish fly and her monkey gland
Her godly body and it's fourteen stations
That I have embraced, her palpitations
Her unborn baby crying, 'mummy'
Amongst the rubble of her body
Her lovely lidded eyes I've sipped
Her fingernails, all pink and chipped
Her accent which I'm told is 'broad'
That I have heard and has been poured
Into my human heart and filled me
And rebuilt me back anew
With something to look forward to
Well, who could ask much more than that?
A west country girl with a big fat cat
That looks into her eyes of green
And meows, 'he loves you', then meows again
With a crooked smile and a heart-shaped face   Comes from the west country where the birds sing bass   She's got a house-big heart where we all live   And plead and council and forgive   Her widow's peak, her lips I've kissed   Her glove of bones at her wrist   That I have held in my hand   Her spanish fly and her monkey gland   Her godly body and it's fourteen stations   That I have embraced, her palpitations   Her unborn baby crying, 'mummy'   Amongst the rubble of her body   Her lovely lidded eyes I've sipped   Her fingernails, all pink and chipped   Her accent which I'm told is 'broad'   That I have heard and has been poured   Into my human heart and filled me   And rebuilt me back anew   With something to look forward to   Well, who could ask much more than that?    A west country girl with a big fat cat   That looks into her eyes of green   And meows, 'he loves you', then meows again
