This song live renders this version from the film almost a cheap outtake. I've never seen anything like it. The crowd swarmed to the foot of the stage as Nick stood tall over them like an Old Testament God, promising to shoot them in the face to the thunder of drum and base. And still they came, transfixed in awe. It was simultaneously the closest thing to a religious experience and profound understanding of humanity I've ever come, and perhaps ever will. He is right when he says he needs to tour songs to fully understand them.
@@chris_camo sure was mate. I was just off to the side, less than 5m from the stage, so saw the whole procession in panorama. It was really something else.
@@benjaminl429I’ve watched it in Adelaide, no words can even express the vibe the honesty and the beauty with the harmonic fennec . True meaning of all became one . #nickcaveforever #one Thank you so much for sharing
Last night I dreamt I was seeing a band consisting of Warren Ellis and Iggy Pop. They were performing a cover of the Stones “Play With Fire”. It sounded amazing
White Elephant Lyrics [Verse 1] The white hunter sits on his porch With his elephant gun and his tears He'll shoot you for free if you come around here A protester kneels on the neck of a statue The statue says "I can't breathe" The protester says "Now you know how it feels" And he kicks it into the sea [Verse 2] I am a Botticelli Venus with a penis Riding an enormous scalloped fan I'm a sea foam woman rising from the spray And I'm coming to do you harm With a gun in my pants full of elephant tears And a seahorse on each arm With my elephant gun of tears I'll shoot you all for free If you evеr think about coming 'round here I'll shoot you in the fucking facе If you think of coming around here [Verse 3] I'm an ice sculpture melting in the sun I'm an ice sculpture with an elephant gun I'm an ice sculpture made of elephant-sized tears Raining gas and salt upon your heads The president has called in the Feds I've been planning this for years I'll shoot you in the fucking face If you think of coming around here I'll shoot you for just for fun I'm a statue lying on my side, in the sun With the memory of an elephant Evaporating before your eyes And becoming a great grey cloud of wrath Roaring my salt upon the earth I will shoot you all for free if you so much as look at me [Chorus] A time is coming A time is nigh For the kingdom In the sky Don't ask who Don't ask why There's a kingdom in the sky We're all coming home For a while A time is coming A time is nigh For the kingdom in the sky We're all coming home For a while A time is coming A time is nigh For the kingdom in the sky We're all coming home In a while
The George Floyd "I can't breathe" reference at the beginning is hilariously disconnected from reality.... he didn't bother to read about Floyd's many, many crimes.... including physical assault against people 1/3 his size... Guy needs introspection to match his talent.
None of that has anything to do with Floyd being murdered by white supremacist cops. And the jury of mixed people agree with me. I think you’d be better off listening to that patriot that shat in his pants at the draft board to get out of serving in Vietnam, first name Ted.
Seeing this live was one of the best experiences of my life.
Same here very transformative and left me speechless #lovenickcave

Dude, I couldn't have said it better myself. You're not referring to Brisbane are you? I was up the front!

Obviously something happened there......is it on film?

White Elephant Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The white hunter sits on his porch
With his elephant gun and his tears
He'll shoot you for free if you come around here
A protester kneels on the neck of a statue
The statue says "I can't breathe"
The protester says "Now you know how it feels"
And he kicks it into the sea
[Verse 2]
I am a Botticelli Venus with a penis
Riding an enormous scalloped fan
I'm a sea foam woman rising from the spray
And I'm coming to do you harm
With a gun in my pants full of elephant tears
And a seahorse on each arm
With my elephant gun of tears I'll shoot you all for free
If you evеr think about coming 'round here
I'll shoot you in the fucking facе
If you think of coming around here
[Verse 3]
I'm an ice sculpture melting in the sun
I'm an ice sculpture with an elephant gun
I'm an ice sculpture made of elephant-sized tears
Raining gas and salt upon your heads
The president has called in the Feds
I've been planning this for years
I'll shoot you in the fucking face
If you think of coming around here
I'll shoot you for just for fun
I'm a statue lying on my side, in the sun
With the memory of an elephant
Evaporating before your eyes
And becoming a great grey cloud of wrath
Roaring my salt upon the earth
I will shoot you all for free if you so much as look at me
[Chorus]
A time is coming
A time is nigh
For the kingdom
In the sky
Don't ask who
Don't ask why
There's a kingdom in the sky
We're all coming home
For a while
A time is coming
A time is nigh
For the kingdom in the sky
We're all coming home
For a while
A time is coming
A time is nigh
For the kingdom in the sky
We're all coming home
In a while
How he moves...
