The Musical Interlude...

Still on great lyrics, and 2 for you tonight from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds... I know, I'm spoiling you...

First up, Nick at his snarling best - "Red Right Hand"... featuring one of my favourite lyrics..

"You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan, designed and directed by his red right hand"...


And I know, I know I've featured this song before, but:

a) It's beautiful
b) I've never featured it as part of the Great Lyrics series
c) It's
my blog, I make the rules, so nyah, boo, sucks to you if you don't like it!

It is, of course, "(Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?"...

Full Lyrics Here: allthelyrics.com: (Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?

My favourite bit:

"O we will know, won't we? The stars will explode in the sky
O but they don't, do they? Stars have their moment and then they die"


Genius... Poetic, and beautiful...
