Nick Cave is just a badass

[vangelsimonovski]

And the dwarves were given the task of digging the ditch

And laying the nag's carcass in the ground

And boss Bellini, waving his smoking pistol around

saying "The nag is dead meat"

"We caint afford to carry dead weight"

The whole company standing about

Not making a sound

And turning to dwarves perched on the enclosure gate

The boss says "Bury this lump of crow bait"

[vitamaki]

the best song ever.

[pdedini]

Excellent !!!!!!!!!!

This is the song that got me to listen to the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Always grateful to hear it again. Greatest six minute metaphor to ever to touch paper.

[TheStyleCrusader]

@gothdeer What is your interpretation of the metaphor?

[gothdeer]

@TheStyleCrusader I think it's summed up in: "The three dwarves peering from their wagon's hind Moses says to Noah "We shoulda dugga deepa one" Their grizzled faces like dying moons Still dirty from the digging done ... And they were silent for a spell, wishin they had done a better job of burying Sorrow ... Until nothing was left, nothing left at all Except the body of sorrow That rose in time" I like to think its about trying hide what hurts- but on top of that it is a whimsical ballad.

[Djarra]

Blixa on top form as the boss.

[Appers]

This is probably my favourite version of The Carny, there's just so much deranged passion running through it!

[Unplugged70]

Sublime. Thanks for posting this!

[jsanterm]

God is in the house!

[FeuerundWasser]

I'm speechless.
