I that song! I find its lyrics so funny. Especially in the way that Nick Cave and Blixa Bargeld are singing them. This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
and...
Father why are all the children weeping?
They are merely crying son.
Oh, are they merely crying father?
Yes, true weeping is yet to come
