Lyrics:
There's a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer)
Bucking and braying and paywing the floor
Well, he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
There's a devil waiting outside your door
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
He's shouting your name and asking for more
There's a devil waiting outside your door
Lover man! Since the world began
Forever, Amen Till the end of time
Take off that dress I'm coming down
I'm your loverman
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
L is for LOVE baby
O is for ONLY you that I do
V is for loving VIRTUALLY everything you are
E is for loving almost EVERYTHING that you do
R is for RAPE me
M is for MURDER me
A is for ANSWERING all of my pryers
N is for KNOWING your loverman's going to be the answer to all of yours
I'll be your Loverman! Till the bitter end
While empires burn down
Forever and ever and ever and ever Amen
I'm your Loverman
So help me, baby So help me
Cause I am what I am what I am
I'm your Loverman!
There's a devil crawling along your floor
With a trembling heart,
he's coming through your door
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
There'a a devil crawling along your floor
And he's old and he's stupid and he's hungry and he's sore
And he's blind and he's lame and he's dirty and he's poor
There's a devil crawling along your floor
Loverman! Here I stand Forever, Amen
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
Forgive me, baby My hands are tied
And I got no choice No, I got no choice at all
I'll say it again
L is for LOVE, baby
O is for O yes I do
V is for VIRTUE, so I ain't gonna hurt you
E is for EVEN if you want me to
R is for RENDER unto me, baby
M is for that which is MINE
A is for ANY old how, darling
N is for ANY old time
I'll be your Loverman! I got a masterplan
To take off your dress And be your man
Seize the throne Seize the mantle
Seize the crown Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
I'm your Loverman!
There's a devil lying by your side
You might think he's asleep
but take a look at his eyes
He wants you, darling, to be his bride
There's a devil lying by your side

This is.... I can't even explain... this world would be incomplete without Nick Cave.
Without Nick Cave and David Bowie....
I hear you, sis...
@@theloner6063... and you too
Something about Nick Cave is just so visceral and raw and passionate.
I AGREE
Also I think he comes off as completely authentic, his tendencies to be over the top and theatrical feel natural.
It’s the heroin addiction
@@aylaayers1375 and Metallica wasn’t on heroine?
Cause it comes from the soul. Metallica was jus covering. Theirs didn’t come from artistic endeavor
the way the vocals whisper in your ear “how much longer?” has me in a trance. its so hypnotiIn
Blixa...
Blixas voice does that
This is one of the finest, most emotionally unsettling songs ever recorded.
this song was a tribute to my ex boyfriend & c.r.e.e.p by the fall.
@@leslieschmidt4744 It's the kind of thing you want to play for young men and women as a warning.
@@mikebott6940 i thought the guy i liked (who wanted to be peter steele and nick cave but also feigned hard to do them and then denied that too lmao) was a godsend but nuuup nup nup *lana from archer voice*
got me into some even darker music though, the demonseed lmao. i saw the fall mentioned here and that is just badass. loadstones is a groove. i was into the martin gore cover of loverman which brought me here eventually though. this ends so fucking chaotically
@@corvideity the Fall aren't so dark to me. Sardonic, sometimes impenetrable yes.
Abigor, Diamanda Galas, Leonard Cohen: those are dark
Masterpiece. An entire romantic murder mystery thriller encapsulated in 5 minutes of music!
What’s funny is this version is shorter the song is about 6 minutes and 30 seconds I think
Nick Cave is what you call an artist.
Damn, how I love Nick Cave. An inspired poet and epic singer.
Amen
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds brought me here
lol yep
Same. Metallicas cover doesnt compare to this 😅
O nice, who is Nick Cave?
One of the best performers of our time.
Can never get over the raw emotionality in this song and video. Keep coming back to it after so many years, and the entire album as well. Masterpiece.
Madness and obsession in song form. Nothing I've heard like it. That frantic nature and the intensity of each chorus repetition. It's profound: All the worst of humanity....hate, obsession...and the best including beauty...stems from love. Love can be beautiful as it can be deadly.
There's a loverman in every intense person. Only question is how that is channeled. Some become billionaires or saints. Others become crooks and murderers...but the very essence of both is created by the same toxic love affair.
The hypnotism footage is real. They were actually put under and made to do weird shit. Brilliant idea for a video.
What makes you possibly think that?
@@BlackWolf-kr7wo maybe someone told them that or they read it somewhere
I think Nick Cave himself talked about it when he was a guest programmer on Rage (a music TV show in Australia) and he introduced this video.
This is how this song was meant to be...you can't beat Nick's raw emotion.
I spent 20yrs as a heroin addict and this song perfectly describes that connection....it was like being in an abusive relationship that I couldn't escape from (&at times didn't want to). No other song has encapsulated this feeling so well!
I think a whol bunch of people can find conection with this song,regardles of drug that one use.Someones heroin is alcohol or some other shit.
It's lovely and rare to see this kind of reply on here. Thanks for posting it. I'm also an addict and all his songs take on much more meaning when you've been to the other side.
It’s absolutely lovely that you can admit that because I know how hard that can be to come to with your term with after the fact. I bet your glad its over, bc I know I would be
Drugs are akin to Pandora's box. Once opened there is never going back. You can sober up, but you can't un-see what you have seen. Hopefully, you are sober and living well.
Not even Hurt by Trent Reznor?
One my favorite male singers period. To me no remake can match his original. Seeing this live was unreal.
this song is a glorious raw nerve
Blixa is so tall and beautiful ...I love his whisper 'how much longer
Perfect couple IMO 🥰🥰🥰
Isn't it a voice of Mick Harvey? 👌
Nick Cave is a thing just like Acropolis: cool, classic and eternal the same time.
They say of the Parthenon, where the Acropolis is…
Listening to this song while being fucking trashed, and with no sleep within the last 3 days, loosing my mind to this and it is great
perfect
I am listening to this song for the first time completely sober and I find it gets me just fired up with energy and well…….desire!
Did u make it out
Nick, so outside the box. He and the Bad Seeds always make me feel so much better about my self and this freaking world around me.
Cheers Nick for whipping that shirt off..love ya!!!
Not enough likes!
This is such an awesome badass song
Nick's voice is power
Nothing like him nobody else.
to be loved and adored by an untamed beast everynow and then, total madness, raw passion, yes.
The whole band is actually hypnotised in this clip - at one point the hypnotist tells them that they are all rock stars and this is where Nick rips his shirt off! Oh my god.
Thank you, Peaky Blinders, for introducing me to this song.
XD
@@MrRhurbarb ok swagger lee. That's a compliment. Love Nick & the Seeds.
Metallica did it better
Joseph Palma
Metallica did a great remake for sure. But the part that was used in peaky blinders alone wasn’t gonna be better with James. Nick’s voice fit the era. I found it amazingly exploited.
@@MrRhurbarb Peaky Blinders brought me here
Damn, Nick is so fucking hot in this video!
I'm really surprised that DANZIG never did a cover of this.It seems that it would've been a natural fit.
Oh yass! I'd love that to bits
YESSSSSS!
Brilliant idea....lets make that happen
This seems right up his alley; he has the perfect voice for this!
Yet another Perfect moment in Rock & Roll History.
One of my fav Cave songs (too many!!) Love this guy, love his energy, love his music and his voice. This song always lifts me up.
I’ve heard it said once before and I feel the need to reiterate.
“Metal wishes it could be this wicked”
Metal's not about being wicked maybe your kind of metal is. It's about having attitude
What kind of rock is this?
@@ikpemiagweda5272 Gothic Rock
Wicked? No. Not sure much music can capture raw emotion like this other than Velvet Underground or Johnny Cash.
Metal can stir a lot of emotions. IMO this is as metal as Meshuggah.
This song is fucking awesome.
Love, Love, Love "Loverman". Close to being my fave Bad Seeds tune.
The more of him I hear him, the more he amaze me.
_How much longer?_
This is pretty damn sweet.
This song is eternal.
This music video compliments the song so well sends a chill down my spine.
I've been a fan for over twenty years now! Each year or so I appreciate that's mans outstanding musical, film and poetical talents even more !
I like the Metallica cover too, but Nick Cave has managed to convince me that he's my loverman and that I should take off my dress.....
Angela🍷
What do you mean you should???
he has me convinced as well. He is a people person.
Wet comment
Try listening to Martin Gore's version! ❤
This song is so underrated.
Nick Cave himself is so damn underrated. He's like Marylin Manson's dad from a musical point of vue.
Metallica's cover made this song good
@@martyschriver Metallica's version is no match for the original in my opinion. Nick has that derranged image and feeling to his songs. James feels like a regular nice metalhead and that takes away from the creepiness of the song. Don't get me wrong I adore Metallica🤩✌
@@martyschriver it really did,its so much better
Peaky Blinders are the one that have me get to know all the amazing songs. Thank you. I'm from Malaysia and I'm sorry if my grammar was so bad 🌻
I love this video. I approve of the creepiness and the shirtlessness. Also: the suspenders. Nick Cave, why are you so attractive?
I have become infatuated with this man
well it's about freakin time...
Tiffany Griffith
I had the most spectacular sex dream with Nick Cave a few weeks ago, and I can't shake it. It's painful and so fucking hot.
Tiffany Griffith sorry Tiff but you won't be able to tame Nick cave.
Welcome to the club 😍😍
Martin Gore's cover of this on his "Counterfeit 2" album is really good.
That's why im here because of Martin's cover.
This song makes my blood pulse. But the crash of chorus scares my dog off the bed.
I just remind you something guys. When some band makes a cover of other band's song, it is not an attempt to make it better. First it's just kind of tribute. And second it's attempt to make the song shine with new colors. Metallica's version and this original perfomed even in different genres. So don't argue which version is better. They both are beautiful each in its own way.
i agree with what you're saying about covers but metallica's version lacks any of the nuance and subtlety that makes the song great in the first place.
Yeah. For the record. Nick's is better.
Nick's is better lol
Metallicas better
@@laurencesealey4123some people forget to add "In my opinion" because that's all it is, your opinion.
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(how much longer?)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
It is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
There's a devil waiting outside your door
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
He's shouting your name and he's asking for more
There's a devil waiting outside your door
Loverman! since the world began
Forever, amen till end of time take off that
Dress I'm coming down I'm your loverman
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
L is for love, baby
O is for only you that I do
V is for loving virtually all that you are
E is for loving almost everything that you do
Are is for rape me
M is for murder me
A is for answering all of my prayers
N is for knowing your loverman's going to
Be the answer to all of yours
Loverman! till the bitter end
While empires burn down forever and ever
And ever and ever amen I'm your loverman
So help me, baby so help me
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
I'll be your loverman!
There's a devil crawling along your floor
There's a devil crawling along your floor
With a trembling heart, he's coming through your door
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
There's a devil crawling along your floor
And he's old and he's stupid and
He's hungry and he's sore
And he's lame and he's blind
And he's dirty and he's poor
I've him more
There's a devil crawling along your floor
Loverman! here I stand forever, amen
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
Forgive me, baby my hands are tied
And I got no choice no, I got no choice at all
I'll say it again
L is for love, baby
O is for o yes I do
V is for virtue, so I ain't gonna hurt you
E is for even if you want me to
Are is for render unto me, baby
M is for that which is mine
A is for any old how, darling
N is for any old time
I'll be your loverman! I got a masterplan
To take off your dress and be your man
Seize the throne seize the mantle
Seize the crown cause I am what I am
What I am what I am I'm your loverman!
There's a devil lying by your side
You might think he's asleep
But look at his eyes
He wants you, baby, to be his bride
There's a devil lying by your side
Loverman! loverman!
Thank U so much!
Thanks
Last paragraph is added by James of Metallica, I think.❤
This is my favourite music video of all time.
The most tormented and haunting song on Let Love In.
For years, I only knew the Metallica version (one of my favorites from their Garage Inc. album) and loved it. Then I looked this up about six months ago, and it blew me away. Listened to it probably ten times in a row that night. I love Metallica and still like their cover, but this version is on a whole other level. Not only that, but it introduced me to the wonderful world of Nick Cave.
A guy called Nicholas E. Cave brought me here
*Edward
A guy called Martin Gore brought me here, and I must say with all respect for the original, I prefer way more the Martins version
@@vrusostalstreak6557 Original is best mainly in live concerts, but I think this is still better cover version than from Metallica
my favorite song of all time.
Não há melhor do que Nick cave e Blixa Bargelt os dois são excepcionais
I love this...so much
A is for any old how, darling
N is for any old time
I love how it transitions from Nick Cave's singing to his whisper voiceover at this point. It's really subtle and sensual.
I agree. Definitely one of the best performances of this song. It gives goosebumps galloping^~^
Ffs. Why I've never heard that song?? It's just an fucking ART!
Take me Nick 💙
everyone is like i discovered nick cave thanks to peaky blinders but i discovered peaky blinders thanks to nick cave
oh i love this man this song all of this
i feel so cool listening to this music, much love from pittsburgh
Up 22 towards 'toona and drive on to state college/bburg. loving nick across the state.
Люблю Кейва давно. Но, рада что многие узнали о нем из Острых Козырьков, хоть так просвещать народ о гениях.
Love him for a long time, but glad that most of people begin listening Cave after Peaky Blinders, so they found genius of masterpieces
I'm a huge Metallica fan, but I found the original just a couple weeks ago on my own. I've been on a Nick Cave kick the last 30 days. What the fuck is this masterpiece?
Love this song and video. A is for any old how, darling, n is to any old time Also I miss Blixa.
Such a great artist
Listening to this and reading HP Lovecraft's The Hound is great soundtrack.
Oh The Hound, lady. That's just perfection.
Yeah! So i'm not the only one.
Lets marry
You're either a psychopath or a sociopath??
Can I run some tests on your brain???
Fantastic stuff!
Song gives me a shockwave of goosebumps when it kicks in
Great tune... Nick's version is still my favorite! Nick's been doing this for a long time.
NICK CAVE!
what a song..
stunning words! brilliant!
Heard this on Peaky Blinders it's such a good show
Tommy Carrillo â
Grande Nick Cave :)
I remember hearing this as a teen, for whatever reason it scared the hell outta me. Still listening though!
Incredible song
Ayamwhatayamwhatayamayamayaaaaaaaaa
I have never seen Peaky Blinders have always listened to Nick Cave. Saw him llive about four years ago and it was phenomenal. He didn't perform Curse of Millhaven or Christina the Astonishing. However he did this one This song still sounds current so raw,atmospheric and plain sexy.I still love the video. Cave is a gifted story teller much like Leonard Cohen was. Blixa Bargeld and Mick Harvey are musical geniuses too. R is for render unto me baby M is for that which is mine I still love that part of the song.
Nick Cave and sexy Blixa Bargeld are what brought me here,
Nick Cave brought me here
Love this song, in the end every lover is adevil.
No matter who plays this it always sounds good, Nick clearly has this exuberance and raw feeling when listening to it it's mesmerising, the Metallica cover sounds so haunting in a way to me though that's why I do prefer it, cannot fault this song whatsoever.
Agreed. Metallica's guitar sounds and James' voice make it haunting.
i was never a metallica fan, except for "bread fan"
it's not about what version is better. It's about the music....
It's about open your mind, close your eyes and mouth and enjoy the music. Whatever version you are listening. Nick Cave + Metallica are goods. peace.
I have to see him before I die
True that:) I saw him finally 5 years ago. I need to again!
Well that was... disturbing :D Amazing song, but creepy af. And weirdly sexy. How does that combination even work?
good song :) I also enjoyed Martin gores cover
I'm tripping over everything
Oh.My.God. Just wow!
Amo las lyrics que hace mi Nick!
Had to finally check this out after hearing the Metallica cover so many times. I love both. This is sinister as fuck and gives me the creeps and I adore it.
Still the best
i love nick caves voice
Nick Cave was made specifically for crawling around topless.
I've only ever heard and loved the Metallica version until today - James Hetfield's voice is lush. I love Nick Cave's emotion when he sings and have just listened to his version. Much more emotional and visceral than Metallica. But still, in a fight between the voices of James and Nick ...... who would win? As a lifelong Metallica fan it would have to be ......... Nick!
One of the sexiest songs ever.
How come this has no comments?
Such a great song, one of my favorites from Nick Cave.
I do respect NC, not a fan but this is just Brilliant, pure genius
This is better than Metallica's. The atmosphere is just so foul and unsettling.
Metallica's wasn't bad it just kinda took what was so awesome about this song out.
Foda se?
I get what you're sayin, but I think the smooth melody of metallicas version of it *is* whats so unsettling about theirs. You feel comfortable in a dangerous song
You must have suffered too much to end up writing this master piece, such a troubled soul.
Desperation and relief.... so far and so near ....
All i hear after 0:53 is loveyayayayaeyeyayeayeye
That's why James Hetfield liked it so much
Iván Bonahora JAJAJAJA You are the fucking best
