Below you'll find most of the lyrics that Nick Cave has ever written or recorded. There are even some translations of those lyrics, some guitar chords for the songs, and links to other lyric and chord web pages.

Each album's lyrics are listed in the order of either the original LP release track listing, or in the order of the tracks on the current CD pressing of the album. The available B-sides from the singles are listed at the end of the album's lyrics.

Other lyrics requested: I think I have collected all of the lyrics for songs that Nick has recorded since the demise of the Birthday Party. Now I'm looking for songs from before FHTE, including The Birthday Party and The Boys Next Door. If you have any that are not here, tell me!

Other chords requested: Nearly the entire Your Funeral... My Trial album and many B-sides. Also I'm only missing Far From Me and Green Eyes from The Boatman's Call. If you'd like to write chords so that they are easy to put up, check out this tutorial (mirror). There seem to be a lot of good guitar resources available at www.harmony-central.com/.
