    "Oh fuck it, I'm a monster, I admit it!"
    Best moment ever.

    Hated live versions at first, now in love. This pretty much sums up my entire relationship with Nick Cave.

      He is a live perfomer... Takes a while to repect him for some. He is a slow burner, a consistent and a great writer

    Nick always makes slip-ups live, he's just not great at remembering lines. I went to one of his gigs once where he tried to do God Is In The House, forgot the words one verse in and just filled in the gaps with "the kittens the kittens the... kittens, the kittens..." I was a one of a kind performance!

      Appers when I saw cue card guy I was disappointed but then realized this song is a damned novel.

      ​@@jkempf71the cue card guy is an inside joke tbh. Nick hardly ever uses him

    • @yesokthen

      Every time I've seen him in the past 8 yeats.​@@tuszkki9357

    It is a long song and my daily commute was between 10 and 15 minutes. So I'd listen to that mixed playlist of Cave/Cash in my car and it happened quite often just as I got in my driveway it was during this song. I usually stayed in the car and sang along until it ended.

  • @TheyCallMeSlimDavy
    @TheyCallMeSlimDavy 14 лет назад +13

    The song was 15 to 20 years old at this point, and not played live that often. It also has quite a lot of words. Doesn't seem to be using the prompts much anyway far as I could see.
    This is one of the Bad Seeds best songs, and a stand-out track on Murder Ballads, which is crammed full of some great songs. This version is an absolute belter!

      7 years too late, but this concert was filmed in 2001 and this song came out in 1996

    7:02 may stand as the only moment Nick Cave has ever been out-badassed.
    Hats off to Warren Ellis.
    I wish Blixa would've stayed for longer.
    As far as I'm concerned this is the definitive lineup of the Bad Seeds.

  • @EuchridEucrow1
    @EuchridEucrow1 14 лет назад +10

    I've always loved the way this song starts (in the live and the album version).
    Just a complete explosion of dissonance and feedback, you think this is going to be the heaviest thing ever...and then this quaint little shuffle comes in. LMAO!
    Of course, before it's over, with the energy and Cave's lyrics, the shuffle becomes a frenetic rush. Great stuff...

    Listening to this reminds me of my Sophomore and junior years of high school. I’m tearing up because they were some of the best years of my life, though at the time I was not convinced as such...
    I listened to this version of the song every morning on the bus. It was like a ritual...

    Thank you for posting this! I love the Warren Ellis intro and Blixa of course. The time's I've seen Nick Cave he's never done this or The Carny two my favorites . I can't find any live for Song Of Joy and that's a fantastic song.

    I live in a town called Millhaven
    And it's small and it's mean and it's cold
    But if you come around just as the sun goes down
    You can watch the whole town turn to gold
    It's around about then that I used to go a-roaming
    Singing La la la la La la la lie
    All God's children they all gotta die
    My name is Loretta but I prefer Lottie
    I'm closing in on my fifteenth year
    And if you think you have seen a pair of eyes more green
    Then you sure didn't see them around here
    My hair is yellow and I'm always a-combing
    La la la la La la la lie
    Mama often told me we all got to die
    You must have heard about The Curse Of Millhaven
    How last Christmas Bill Blake's little boy didn't come home
    They found him next week in One Mile Creek
    His head bashed in and his pockets full of stones
    Well, just imagine all the wailing and moaning
    La la la la La la la lie
    Even little Billy Blake's boy, he had to die
    Then Professor O'Rye from Millhaven High
    Found nailed to his door his prize-winning terrier
    Then next day the old fool brought little Biko to school
    And we all had to watch as he buried her
    His eulogy to Biko had all the tears a-flowing
    La la la la La la la lie
    Even God's little creatures, they have to die
    Our little town fell into a state of shock
    A lot of people were saying things that made little sense
    Then the next thing you know the head of Handyman Joe
    Was found in the fountain of the Mayor's residence
    Foul play can really get a small town going
    La la la la La la la lie
    Even God's children all have to die
    Then, in a cruel twist of fate, old Mrs Colgate
    Was stabbed but the job was not complete
    The last thing she said before the cops pronounced her dead
    Was, "My killer is Loretta and she lives across the street!"
    Twenty cops burst through my door without even phoning
    La la la la La la la lie
    The young ones, the old ones, they all gotta die
    Yes, it is I, Lottie. The Curse Of Millhaven
    I've struck horror in the heart of this town
    Like my eyes ain't green and my hair ain't yellow
    It's more like the other way around
    I gotta pretty little mouth underneath all the foaming
    La la la la La la la lie
    Sooner or later we all gotta die
    Since I was no bigger than a weavil they've been saying I was evil
    That if "bad" was a boot that I'd fit it
    That I'm a wicked young lady, but I've been trying hard lately
    O fuck it! I'm a monster! I admit it!
    It makes me so mad my blood really starts a-going
    La la la la La la la lie
    Mama always told me that we all gotta die
    Yeah, I drowned the Blakey kid, stabbed Mrs. Colgate, I admit
    Did the handyman with his circular saw in his garden shed
    But I never crucified little Biko, that was two junior high school psychos
    Stinky Bohoon and his friend with the pumpkin-sized head
    I'll sing to the lot, now you got me going
    La la la la La la la lie
    All God's children have all gotta die
    There were all the others, all our sisters and brothers
    You assumed were accidents, best forgotten
    Recall the children who broke through the ice on Lake Tahoo?
    Everyone assumed the "Warning" signs had followed them to the bottom
    Well, they're underneath the house where I do quite a bit of stowing
    La la la la La la la lie
    Even twenty little children, they had to die
    And the fire of '91 that razed the Bella Vista slum
    There was the biggest shit-fight this country's ever seen
    Insurance companies ruined, land lords getting sued
    All cause of wee girl with a can of gasoline
    Those flames really roared when the wind started blowing
    La la la la La la la lie
    Rich man, poor man, all got to die
    Well I confessed to all these crimes and they put me on trial
    I was laughing when they took me away
    Off to the asylum in an old black Mariah
    It ain't home, but you know, it's fucking better than jail
    It ain't such bad old place to have a home in
    La la la la La la la lie
    All God's children they all gotta die
    Now I got shrinks that will not rest with their endless Rorschach tests
    I keep telling them they're out to get me
    They ask me if I feel remorse and I answer, "Why of course!
    There is so much more I could have done if they'd let me!"
    So it's Rorschach and Prozac and everything is groovy
    Singing La la la la La la la lie
    All God's children they all have to die
    La la la la La la la lie
    I'm happy as a lark and everything is fine
    Singing La la la la La la la lie
    Yeah, everything is groovy and everything is fine
    Singing La la la la La la la lie
    All God's children they gotta die

    Was stabbed but the job was not complete..
    The last thing she said, before the cops pronounced her dead,
    was: 'My killer is Loretta and she lives across the Street!'
