While watching trailers at the cinema last week this came on.

"An the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I’m yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth.
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
An anyway I told the truth
And I’m not afraid to die"
#TheMercySeat
- #NickCave and the Bad Seeds

I haven't heard it for many years but it seems strangely apposite for our end of days.

I loved #TheBirthdayParty, what a mad band. And I liked #NickCave's first few solo albums, but when this record came out and i heard #TheMercySeat, wow. I'm still amazed by this song. Released over 25 years ago, it's still a monument to #songwriting as #storytelling
What a killer song.
