Another great song missed by me. Enjoy. From the album "Henry's Dream" - 1992.
Lived a long time ago She was stricken with a seizure At the age of twenty-two They took her body in a coffin To a tiny church in Liege Where she sprang up from the coffin Just after the Agnus Dei She soared up to the rafters Perched on a beam up there Cried "The stink of human sin Is more that I can bear" Christina the Astonishing Was the most astonishing of all She prayed balanced on a hurdle Or curled up into a ball She fled to remote places Climbed towers and trees and walls To escape the stench of human corruption Into an oven she did crawl O Christina the Astonishing Behaved in a terrifying way She would run wildly through the streets Jump in the Meusse and swim away O Christina the Astonishing Behaved in terrifying manner Died at the age of seventy-four In the convent of St Anna

Thank you for posting this VERY unusual treatment of the story of one of Christendom's all-time strrrangest saints. Megakudos to Mr Cave for tackling it, too. Otherworldly story ~ (•8-D
Nick is amazing.... growing to love his stuff more and more! thanks to special someone for opening my world to Nick and the Bad Seeds a few years ago.... :) ... thanks for the video, liekkichan!!
the song is based on the story of a penitent nun from the 12th century who died, went to the other side and came back with stories of the torments of hell...she would mortify herself in horrible ways, and would show no scars...she was said to be able to levitate to get away from the smell of the sinful...and would hide in odd places to avoid them.
