Nick Cave & The Badseeds - Deep in the Woods
**********************************************


The woods eats the woman and dumps her honey-body in the mud
Her dress floats down the well and it assumes the shape of the body of a little girl


Yeah I recognize that girl
She stumbled in some time last loneliness
But I could not stand to touch her now
My one and onlyness.


Deep in the woods
Deep in the woods
Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging.


Worms make their cruel design
Saying D-I-E into her skin
Saying DEAD into belly and DEATH into shoulder
Well last night she kissed me but than DEATH was upon her.


Deep in the woods
Deep in the woods
Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging.


Now the killed waits for the killer
And the trees all nod their heads, they are agreed
This knife feels like a knife feels like a knife that feels like it's feed.
Yeah I recognize that girl
I took her from rags right through to stitches (pray for me now)
Oh baby, tonight we sleep in separate ditches.


Deep in the woods
Deep in the woods
Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging.


Love is for fools and all fools are lovers
It's raining on my house and none of the others
Love is for fools and God knows I'm still one
The sidewalks are filled with love's lonely children
The sidewalk regrets that we had to kill them.


I worked my ass off today. Much heavy (really heavy, as in large bundles of thick rebar) lifting. Much throwing around of heavy things (like sheets of plywood and chunks of rebar). Much productivity. Much thinking "Damn I'm getting strong!" Last night I overheard one of the boys tell a neighbor kid "Well, my mommy is way cooler than Wonder Woman!" Really, whose opinion counts more than my kids'??

SHUDDER!

I really can't stand Nick Cave's music and morbid lyrics.

Eep!

I *love* Nick Cave. I really love Into My Arms and his duet with P.J. Harvey.

The only song by Nick Cave that I've heard is "into my arms" and I love that one so much that I want to hear his other stuff, too. He has a beautiful voice, and I don't usually say that about male singers.

You should get his 'Best of' album; it has some really good selections. (Where the Wild Roses Grow is another good song...!)
