Min otyglade innerliga kärlek

Världen är full av enastående under. Varelser för vackra och begåvade för att vi vanliga dödliga någonsin ska kunna förstå deras storhet.
Nick Cave är en av dem. Ta emot min eviga kärlek och beundran.

Er som står oförstående med en osmickrande rynka mellan ögonbrynen råder jag att leta reda på låten Straight to you. Mannen kan skriva kärlekssånger.

All the towers of ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
This is the time of our great undoing
This is the time that I'll come running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

The light in our window is fading
The candle gutters on the ledge
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing
And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
Once again

Gone are the days of rainbows
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks
Straight at you
But I'll come a-running
Straight to you
But I'll come a-running
One more time

Heaven has denied us its kingdom
The saints are drunk howling at the moon
The chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

Andra vidunderligt vackra sånger är: Papa Won't Leave You Henry, Deanna, Are You the One I've Been Waiting For?, Do You Love Me?, Henry Lee och inte minst The Ship Song. Det är bara att lyssna och njuta.
