Timrhu...I had the same thought. Emotional, haunting and brilliant song. I add The Sears Tower, from the same record. Particularly when the last line is sung...
"In the tower above the earth
There is a view that reaches far
Where we see the universe
I see the fire, I see the end
Seven miles above the earth
There is Emmanuel of mothers
With his sword, with his robe
He comes dividing man from brothers
In the tower above the earth, we built it for Emmanuel
In the powers of the earth, we wait until it rails and rails
In the tower above the earth, we built it for Emmanuel
Oh, my mother, she betrayed us, but my father loved and bathed us
Still I go to the deepest grave
Where I go to sleep alone"
That Nick Cave record is brilliant too. I really like the second disc which has some of my all time fave Nick Cave songs....Easy Money, Carry Me, Spell and Oh Children. Gonna give that a listen tonight.
