sat and listened while texting someone and couldn't figure out who this was. Was pleased to see that it was Nick Cave doing something unusual. Quite extraordinary
Haven't played this CD for years. Trying to remember if this is the opening number.
This would be much better as an instrumental.
piano part is hypnotic.
The lyrics contain an odd mixture of "indifferent universe" and religious belief.
They could kill at the old venue "The Bitter End."

Это просто ОХРЕНИТЕЛЬНО. Впервые его слышал

I think 3 years passed since it was last played.
I love Nick Cave. One of it's kind in his time for sure.

I must get more Nick Cave into my collection. Why have I not heard much from him before?
The guitar riff at the start reminds me of "Like the Way I Do" by Melissa Etheridge. You have to listen real closely because it's very soft in the mix.

Best song from a disappointing record
... or maybe it's more like Dana Harvey when he does the "she's choppin broc-o-leee" bit

Will it never end...?

I really don't care how he's feeling. It's making me feel ill.

What the...
There's something about this song that makes me think of Bill Murray in Saturday Night Live when he does the parody of the lounge singer. I keep thinking I'm going to hear some hilarious lyrics.. but, alas, I'm left cold with a kit-ten sitting in my lap.

great writing. (thanks for the link to the lyrics whoever you were)
horrid singing.
he needs to stick to writing and find a vocalist.
and, oh yeah, I lOVE ANIMALS, but the lines involving the kitten
seem awkward.
i think its the way he sings 'kitt- tin'
you try and try to like it,....
Thank God you followed it with Coldplay

Agreed, I didn't know this was NC, this kind of sucks.
Ick. Double ick.
I really like NC & the BSeeds, but I really can't listen to this one.

Yikes!

Nick Cave may be an acquired taste, but his lyrics are often nothing short of sublime.
Thanks for the link. I liked that a lot.
This one's not doing it for me...
Again on my lunch break today, I stopped by Borders and listenend to Abbotoir/Lyre for about the 12th time now, with the original intention of buying it, because I really, really like 'Flower Boy' and a few other I've heard.
But then I hear this sort of song as well, and end up putting the CD back on the shelf, saving my $20 bucks and walking out empty handed.
what's wrong with the lyrics? Honestly I don't get it, someone explain?

Ouch, painfully bad lyrics!
Bad poetry set to music is still bad poetry.
Mr. Halloween himself!!
Check out the new double album - perhaps his masterpiece?
