Another Nick Cave Song


First you start with a melancholy
dirge in a minor key
tortured and turgid, dark and disturbin'
dirge in a minor key

Next you throw in some sex
with a religious subtext
crown of thorns, crucifix, Judas, apocylypse,
Jesus with brimstone breath
...and you've got

Another Nick Cave song, another nick cave song,
of hell and damnation and self-flagellation

Next you stick in a murder,
split somone's head like a girder,
strangle them, mangle them, bash them and drown them
sex, love, death, religion and murder
... and you got

Another Nick Cave song of hell and damnation
a weepin' and a wailin', a gnashin' and a flailin'

I'd really love to sing about flowers
sunshine and picnics and Springtime showers
but my record company would never agree
and my public would probably crucify me
... and so I'll sing

Another Nick Cave song, of hell and damnation
please pardon my hardon, it's another Nick Cave song
