[CRAZY-HORSE]

GRINDERMAN  "grinderman 2"  cd 2010

a revist
the second and final Grinderman side project album from Nick Cave
less of the grungy chaotic mess of the previous one and back to something that resembles Nick Cave 
its still a guitar driven album just more melodic than the first one
and the album contains quite possibly my favourite line of all time and who could get away with singing a love song to his wife and including this line:  
"the spinal chord of JFK wrapped in Marilyn Monroe's negligee i give to you" from my fav on here.
album ranks a decent 2.1-ish which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

fav:






Psychedelic invocations of Mata Hari at the station
I give to you
A Java princess of Hindu birth
A woman of flesh, a child of the Earth
I give to you.


Well, the hanging gardens of Babylon
Miles Davis, the black unicorn
I give to you
The Palaces of Montezuma and the Gardens of Akbar's tomb
I give to you.

The spider goddess and the needle boy
The slave-dwarves they employ
I give to you
A custard-coloured super dream of Ali McGraw and Steve McQueen
I give to you.

C'mon, baby, let's get out of the cold
And give me, give me, give me your precious love for me to hold.

The epic of Gilgamesh
A pretty little black A-line dress
I give to you
The spinal cord of JFK
Wrapped in Marilyn Monroe's negligee
I give to you

I want nothing in return
Just the softest little breathless word
I ask of you
A word contained in a grain of sand
That can barely walk, can't even stand
I ask for you
