Fire Down Below - Nick Cave lyrics

She was the parson's daughter with her red and rosy cheek
(Way-hey-heave-hi-ho!)
She went to church on Sunday and she sang the anthem sweet
(But there's fire down below!)

The parson was a misery, so cigaretty and so thin
(Way-hey-heave-hi-ho!)
"Look here you motherf**kers if you lead a life of sin!"
(Then there's fire down below!)

He took his text from Malachi and pulled a weary face
(Way-hey-heave-hi-ho!)
Well I f**ked off for Africa and there I fell from grace
( 'Cause there's fire down below!)

The parson's little daughter was as sweet as sugar candy
(Way-hey-heave-hi-ho!)
I said to her us sailors would make lovers neat and handy
( 'Cause there's fire down below!)

She says to me "you sailors are a bunch of f**king liars
(Way-hey-heave-hi-ho!)
And all of you are bound to Hell to feed the f**king fires!"
( 'Cause there's fire down below!)

Well there's fire down below, me lads, so we must do what we oughta
(Way-hey-heave-hi-ho!)
Because the fire is not half as hot as the parson's little daughter
( 'Cause there's fire down below!)
Yes there's fire (fire), down (down) below 4x
