This was the only video I could find of this particular version of the song. The intro is about one minute long before the song starts, but it is one of my favorites from Nick Cave. All his songs are really brilliant, though.
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
Nice song. That guys got a pretty deep voice. The video was just a bit odd, but that's what they are supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteI love Nick Cave! He's huge in England.
ReplyDeleteRon - best to close your eyes and just take in the music.
ReplyDeleteBB - he should be huge everywhere. I have loads of Nick Cave cds.
I don't think I ever heard of him (I know, I'm like, living under a rock). I liked the video and am inspired to google more songs.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of him, much to my shame I'm sure. Now that there's an iPod in my life, there's no reason to NOT get to know more about him, is there?
ReplyDeletek - his music is sometimes sad, but in an uplifting way. I just love his voice.
ReplyDeleteTiff - no reason at all. Check out "Black Betty", "Red Right Hand", "Straight to You" - and well, almost anything by him is amazing.
You listen to the coolest music!
ReplyDeleteRebecca - I swear this one piece - his voice and the song in general - gives me goosebumps everytime.
