[Verse 1: Nick Cave & PJ Harvey]
When you’re sad and when you’re lonely
And you haven’t got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you’ve held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
[Chorus]
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
[Verse 2: Shane MacGowan & Kylie Minogue]
When you’re standing on the crossroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all your dreams have vanished
And you don’t know what’s up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
[Chorus]
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
[Verse 3: Thomas Wydler & Blixa Bargeld]
When storm clouds gather ’round
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end
And there’s no one there to comfort you
With a helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
[Chorus]
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
[Bridge]
For the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation shines
In dark and empty skies
[Verse 4: Blixa Bargeld & Nick Cave]
When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
When you search in vain to find
Some law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end
[Chorus]
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
When you’re sad and when you’re lonely
And you haven’t got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you’ve held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
[Chorus]
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
[Verse 2: Shane MacGowan & Kylie Minogue]
When you’re standing on the crossroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all your dreams have vanished
And you don’t know what’s up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
[Chorus]
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
[Verse 3: Thomas Wydler & Blixa Bargeld]
When storm clouds gather ’round
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end
And there’s no one there to comfort you
With a helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
[Chorus]
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
[Bridge]
For the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation shines
In dark and empty skies
[Verse 4: Blixa Bargeld & Nick Cave]
When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
When you search in vain to find
Some law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end
[Chorus]
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
