Children
Pass me that lovely little gun
My dear, my darting one
The cleaners are coming, one by one
You don't even want to let them start
They are knocking now upon your door
They measure the room, they know the score
They're mopping up the butcher's floor
Of your broken little hearts
O children
Forgive us now for what we've done
It started out as a bit of fun
Here, take these before we run away
The keys to the gulag
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
They're gathering round with all my friends
We're older now, the light is dim
And you are only just beginning
O children
We have the answer to all your fears
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal dear
It's round about, it's somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
The cleaners have done their job on you
They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove
They've hosed you down, you're good as new
They're lining up to inspect you
O children
Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
He's found the answer that was lost
We're all weeping now, weeping because
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station
Hey, little train! Wait for me!
I once was blind but nowI see
Have you left a seat for me?
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
Hey little train! Wait for me!
I was held in chains but now I'm free
I'm hanging in there, don't you see
In this process of elimination
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
It's beyond my wildest expectation
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station

Já cá faltava o amigo Nick
Always ... conheces esta música???
É maravilhosa ...
Top 3 Cave ( para hoje...)
1. Birthday Party - Release The Bats
2. Nick Cave - Your Funeral...My Trial...
3. Nick Cave - Stranger Than Kindness
God is in the house ...
E estraguei, acho eu, a cassete do NME que tinha Nick Cave & the Cavemen ( sic...) numa versão de I put a spell on you...há algum disco em que essa versão esteja ?
A edição de Maio de 84 ??? Realmente é já uma raridade.
Hum... é questão de procurar na net.
Ou perguntar a quem é fluente nesses assuntos musicais...
Não me lembro se é de 84...teria de ir ao sotão procurar o NME...
Acho que, um dia destes, vi um CD pirata que trazia isso.nunca mais vi tal disco...para confirmar. Na RUC bem tento passar material que tenho em cassetes do NME, em cassetes gravadas por mim, etc. para minidisk...mas as condições técnicas não ajudam...
Este album foi-me bastante util na tentativa de tirar o pescoço da linha do comboio!!!eh eh! Nick Cave de volta a ele próprio...
