Grinderman - Palaces Of Montezuma (with lyrics)

Album Grinderman 2, 2010

Psychedelic invocations
Of Mata Hari at the station
I give to you
A Java princess of Hindu Birth
A woman of flesh a child of earth
I give to you
The hanging gardens of Babylon
Miles Davis the black unicorn
I give to you
The Palaces of Montezuma
And the Gardens of Akbar's tomb
I give to you
The spider Goddess and the Needle Boy
The slave-dwarves they employ
I give to you
A custard-coloured super-dream
Of Ali McGraw and Steve McQueen
I give to you

C'mon baby, let's get out of the cold
And give me, give me, give me your precious love for me to hold

The epic of Gilgamesh
A pretty little black A-line dress
I give to you
The spinal cord of JFK
Wrapped in Marilyn Monroe's negligee
I give to you
I want nothing in return
Just the softest little breathless word
I ask of you
A word contained in a grain of sand
That can barely walk can't even stand
I ask of you

Oh c'mon baby, let's get out of the cold
And gimme gimme gimme your precious love for me to hold
C'mon baby come out of the cold
And gimme gimme gimme your precious love for me to hold

Thumbs up if you here because of Luther!

Just heard this on Luther.

[Prystauk]

Another exceptional song from a true master of poetry and sound.

@thorunnivarsdottir No, I'm here because Nick Cave is a godfuckingdamned motherfucking genius that my friends finally found out about and posted this on their facebook wall after me harping on about Grinderman since their show in Melbourne last year. *sigh* Better late than never I suppose though eh?

*goes to put her vinyl copy on*

Luther has one of the best TV sound tracks ever :D

[marcusfra]

Thank you Luther! Found this by 10:02 last night! Brilliant.

[ballochdubh]

Just a brilliant track.I am certain without the Luther series i would not have heard it. A track that deserves much more play time.

Thanks for posting.
