Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Wild World (Live)

Live @ Hammersmith Apollo, London
Saturday 7th June, 2003

Hold me up baby for I may fall
Hold my dish-rag body tall
Our bodies melt together (we are one)
Post crucifixion baby, and all undone.


It's a wild world


Church bells ring out the toll of our night
Forward and forever backward
Forever backward forever forward alright
Strophe and antistrophe strophe and antistrophe
Antistophe antistrophe
(C'mon baby, hold me tight)
Up here in your arms tonight.


Don't push me
Don't push me


It's a wild world.

I never could imagine I would listen to a birthday party masterpiece RAPED like this by its own creator. shame on you mister cave! you may have forgotten your youth, but we never will!

[thesoulbreath]

@darkRoyalty Ok. I disagree, but at least give us some argument.

[coreygoodtimes]

Fucking phenomenal. the Bad Seeds should do Birthday Party songs more often.

[Hrimfauxie]

Is it not fantastic his choice of words even so early in his career.

[pietrobembo]

@darkRoyalty Yeah, but look how good his footwork has become since then!

It's amazing what a little maturity can do to a song. The Birthday Party version is excellent, but this is just transcendental.

[pietrobembo]

Is that James Johnston on keyboards?

[yanshane]

He originated this version when he toured with the Dirty Three. It's quite awesome.

[MachinaEYE]

no Rowland, no Party...

This is so incredibly good! I first saw this on a DVD and I keep coming back to it. I love that Nick and the Bad Seeds are doing Birthday Party Songs and the more the better. This type of genius is timeless and needs to be more available for us all to hear. I only wish I was there that night. What a cracking concert it would have been!!! I have seen Nick many times and dont believe he has sold out. He is a great musician.
