I LOVE the Murder Ballards. This song is great and, yes Stagger Lee would get quiet the response here LOL! {#Lol}
My hubby even gets afraid when I put this album on.  I can't imagine why...

Can you imagine the reponse if "Stagger Lee" or "O'Malley's Bar" got played on RP?

Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

I've heard other Nick Cave songs I like better; this one ain't doing much for me.
He did write a great novel called "And the Ass Saw the Angel". Check it out if you like your fiction dark & disturbing.

About 20 years ago, Henry Lee Summer had a hit on the radio. That got rather grating. I don't think I would have wished murder on him, though. Maybe his career is just dead.

Goddamn this is a great set! Except for the Barenaked Pansies. Nick Cave is the Master (now that Cash has left us).

This is great stuff. I love these murder ballads. Not exactly a toe-tapper though!
