Brother, My Cup Is Empty (2010 Digital Remaster) - Nick Cave/The Bad Seeds
Brother my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
Brother my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
I am the captain of my pain
Tis the bit the bridle
The trashing cane
The stirru the harness
The whipping mane
The pickled eye
The shrinking brain
O brother buy me one more drink
I'll explain the nature of my pain
Yes let me tell you once again
I am the captain of my pain
O brother my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
I cannot blame it all on her
To blame her all would be a lie
For many a night I lay awake
And wished that I could watch her die
To see her accusing finger spurt
To see flies swarm her hateful eye
To watch her groaning in the dirt
To see her clicking tongue crack dry
O brother buy me one more drink
One more drink and then goodbye
And do not mock me when I say
Let's drink one more before I die
O brother my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
Well I've been sliding down on rainbows
Well I've been swinging from the stars
Now this wretch in beggars clothing
Bangs his cup across the bars
Look this cup of mine is empty
Seems I've misplaced my desires
Seems I'm sweeping up the ashes
Of all my former fires
So brother be a brother
And fill this tiny cup of mine
And please sir make it whiskey
For I have no head for wine
O brother my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
Buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
O brother my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
I counted up my blessings
And counted only one
One tiny little blessing
And now that blessings gone
So buy me one more drink my brother
Then I'm taking to the road
Yes I'm taking to the rain
I'm taking to the snow
O my friend my only brother
Do not let the party grieve
So throw a dollar onto the bar
Now kiss my a** and leave
O brother my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
O brother my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
