ALBUMS AND SONGS
Click on an album title to read the lyrics.
NB: No lyrics given for Kicking Against the Pricks since I focus on what Nick wrote. Lyrics for Live Seeds and The Best of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are not given either since all the songs but one can be found on other albums. Also, a song title followed by a "(*)" means that it was not written by Cave and therefore the lyrics are not given...
