Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - O Wow O Wow (How Wonderful She Is) Lyrics

She rises in advance of her panties
I can confirm that god actually exists
She turns and smiles but never ever scantily
Oh, wow, oh, wow, how wonderful she is

Well, the horses, they have kicked down the stable
And the rabbits have put carrots in their ears
And her colored crayons dance upon the table
Oh, wow, oh, wow, how wonderful she feels

The country doctor whistles across the meadow
And the schoolboy, he hops up and says, gee whiz
The dogs, they are all barking at their shadows
Oh, wow, oh, wow, how wonderful she is
Oh, wow, oh, wow, well, nothing could compare

Her friends, now dead, their spectral chins all nod
And they braid a band of violets through her hair
Oh, wow, oh, wow, how wonderful she was
How wonderful she is

Do you remember we used to really, really have fun?
We'd be just by ourselves, mucking around
Really relaxed, not under pressure
I guess that's how we make up songs
I, I remember we were in bed and then we imagined somebody upstairs
I don't even know if we heard footsteps
Or imagined footsteps and then imagined the story

That was in that little place opposite Brixton Prison
I didn't even realize that everyone wasn't like that
We tried to write a contract of love
But we only got as far as doing the border
There was never any words in it
Which I thought said a lot more than anything else
