NEWALBUM Nick Cave & Warren Ellis "carnage" - CRAZY-HORSE - 02-03-2021 Deezer listen: 25th studio set for Cave and add to that a couple of dozen soundtracks/scores and you have a pretty prolific artist... for those who dont know, Warren is a member of Cave's Bad Seeds... piano and strings accompany Cave's dour vocals over eight tracks... has a "ghosteen" feel to it... love is vocal quality and his lyrics are incredible as usual but something bugs me about the album and i cant work out what it is? favorite after one listen: The white hunter sits on his porch With his elephant gun and his tears He'll shoot you for free if you come around here A protester kneels on the neck of a statue The statue says "I can't breathe" The protester says "Now you know how it feels" And he kicks it into the sea I am a Botticelli Venus with a penis Riding an enormous scalloped fan I'm a sea foam woman rising from the spray And I'm coming to do you harm With a gun in my pants full of elephant tears And a seahorse on each arm With my elephant gun of tears I'll shoot you all for free If you even think about coming round here I'll shoot you in the fucking face If you think of coming around here I'm an ice sculpture melting in the sun I'm an ice sculpture with an elephant gun I'm an ice sculpture made of elephant-sized tears Raining gas and salt upon your heads The president has called in the Feds I've been planning this for years I'll shoot you in the fucking face If you think of coming around here I'll shoot you for just for fun I'm a statue lying on my side, in the sun With the memory of an elephant Evaporating before your eyes And becoming a great grey cloud of wrath Roaring my salt upon the earth I will shoot you all for free if you so much as look at me A time is coming A time is nigh For the kingdom In the sky Don't ask who Don't ask why There's a kingdom in the sky We're all coming home For a while A time is coming A time is nigh For the kingdom in the sky We're all coming home For a while A time is coming A time is nigh For the kingdom in the sky We're all coming home In a while RE: NEWALBUM Nick Cave & Warren Ellis "carnage" - Music Head - 09-01-2022 another from the A.O.T.Y. list never a bad album from Nick title track love the backing vocals reminds me of Cohen
