This is a magnificent song. The fact that the narrator lived through the apocalypse and is still thankful for what he has is both tragic and beautiful.
Cave: Are you a boy? Fan: Yes Cave: Oh fuck I thought you were a girl the whole time, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I-I thought you were a very very attractive girl. (talking to stage crew) May I have a cigarette?
One of the best bands in the history of the world!
I believe this is the best song I've ever heard

I love the song's imagery. He's a stellar wordsmith.
And the spears of bright sun
All brave with it conquest
Did hover unearthly
In banners of fire
there'll be no road too narrow =)
