Перевод песни
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Mermaids

She was a catch,

We were a match

I was the match that would fire up her snatch

There was a catch

I was no match

I was fired from her crutch

Now I sit around and watch

The mermaids sun themselves out on the rocks

They are beyond our touch

I watch and watch

Wave at me

They wave at me

They wave and slip back into the sea

All the ones who come

All the ones who go

Down to the water

All the ones who come

All the ones who go down to the sea

I believe in God

I believe in mermaids too

I believe in 72 virgins on a chain (why not, why not)

I believe in the rapture

For I've seen your face

On the floor of the ocean

At the bottom of the ray

I do drive a relentless course

I do husband alertness course

I do mermaid alertness course

Watch them out on the rocks

Wave at me, wave at me

They wave and slip back into the sea

All the ones who come

All the ones who go

Down to the water

All the ones who come

And all the ones who go down to the sea

For all the ones who come

And all the ones who go

Down to the water

All the ones who come

And all the ones who go

Down to the sea
