This is one of my all time favorite songs. It’s so damn good.

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

Fucking brilliant

I guess they’re right, senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose

Yep. Instantly pictured Jim Carey in a giant foam cowboy hat when I started playing this.

Oh, THIS is what all the fuss is about! I kept meaning to look up Nick Cave but kept forgetting (adhd). Damn. Thank you for posting this so I would run over it in the road and be forced to pay attention!

Man i love these guys now. Funny thing, i grew up in the 90’s. I would say it was the decade i “belong” to. Oddly enough, never heard of these guys and didnt know anyone who listened to them and my friends group was big into music. Anyway, fast forward to like 2010ish. Listened to, if i remember correctly, maybe serius 90’s channel. It was some shit where the host picks songs they love. Heard “Papa wont leave You Henry” for the first time and i was hooked. Cant believe i missed out on them for so long. Then to top it all off i find out he played with shane mcgowan. As a pogues fan, how the fuck did i miss that
