Jordens Sorgsnaste Sång

Mitt musikliv är ett Caveorama just nu, där jag lyssnar på all Nick Cave jag kommer över.

En hobby jag har, är att när jag lyssnar på låtar så ändrar jag texten lite, så den handlar om andra saker, eller samma sak fast på ett annat sätt.

Och på så vis har jag upptäckt världens ledsnaste sång. Om man tar Nobodys Baby Now och tänker sig att den faktiskt handlar om hans dotter som dog när hon var bebis, trots att en läkare försökte rädda livet på henne. Då blir det outhärdligt ledsamt.

Man måste bara ändra litegrann för att det ska fungera. Kolla själv.

I've searched the holy books
I tried to unravel the mystery of Jesus Christ, the saviour
I've read the poets and the analysts
Searched through the books on human behaviour
I travelled this world around
For an answer that refused to be found
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now

I loved her then and I guess I love her still
Hers is the face I see when a certain mood moves in
She lives in my blood and skin
Her wild feral stare, her dark hair
Her winter lips as cold as stone
Yeah, I was her dad
But there are some things life won't allow
I held her hand but I don't hold it now
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now

This is her dress that I loved best
With the blue quilted violets across the breast
And these are my many hopes
Torn to pieces by plastic-wrapped hands
by a kind-hearted man
And though I've tried to lay her ghost down
She's moving through me, even now
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now
She's nobody's baby now
Nobody's baby now
She's nobody's baby now
