Easy Money

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1. It's difficult. It's very tough.
   I said to the man who'd been sleeping rough
   A-
   To sit within a fragrant breeze
   C
   All among the nodding trees
   D                          E
   That hang heavy with the stuff
   
2. He threw his arms around my neck
   He brushed the tear from my cheek
   And held my soft white hand
   He was an understanding man
   He did not even barely hardly speak

R: Easy money
   C
   Rain it down on the wife and the kids
   D
   Rain it down on the house where we live
   E
   Rain until you got nothing left to give
   C                      D           E
   And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

3. All the things for which my heart yearns
   Gives joy in diminishing returns
   He kissed me on the mouth
   His hands they headed south
   And my cheek it burned
   
4. Money, man, it is a bitch
   The poor, they spoil it for the rich
   With my face pressed in the clover
   I wondered when this would be over
   And at home we are all so guilty-sad

R: Easy money
   Pour it down the open drain
   Pour it all through my veins
   Pour it down, yeah, let it rain
   And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me

5. Now, I'm sitting pretty down on the bank
   Life shuffles past at a low interest rate
   In the money-coloured meadows
   And all the interesting shadows
   They leap up, then dissipate
