  • Blixa on top form as the boss.

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

  • Always thought this song was cool.

  • The one who first press DISLIKE will burn in hell! :)

  • you know circus folk, small hands,smell like cabbage.

  • you know circus folk, smell like cabbage.

  • @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.
  • @gothdeer What is your interpretation of the metaphor?

  • Nick Cave is just a badass

  • A movie could be built around this.

  • 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"

  • the best song ever.
