I Do Dear I Do - Nick Cave

A music video from "I Do, Dear, I Do" (an out-take from The Boatman's Call). LYRICS ------ I wish you happy Christmas, I do dear, I do I wish for you the stars, babe and I wish for you the moon You can sit and you can drink your champagne with your gibbering goon I hope he's being good to you I do ,dear, I do May no ill wind blow your way I wish that you will keep safe up there in your litter, babe with your ivory and apes Things down here are fragmented, frankly, they've exploded all over the room. I think everything's a little off-centre, babe, I do, dear, I do. You said that to love me you must set me free, ah, That may all be very well Still I miss you, baby more than words can really tell. Sometimes I cannot sleep the greatness of my hate for you Sometimes I cannot sleep for I miss you May your day be as bright as the eyes of the girl that I once knew. May your sun be happy yellow, and your sky be baby blue. I miss your manic scratches/scratchings(?) and your howling at the moon. Ten steps behind me, with your dust pan and your broom. I hope you wish for me all the things I wish for you - health, hope and happiness, the sun and the moon. Say hello to the one who really don't have a clue. I'll be calling you soon, I think I love you, I do, dear, I do. Note: The song cuts off at the end. If anybody has the rumoured 8 minute version, I'd love it. Footage used is mainly from Uli Schuppel's documentaries.
