"I'M HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE"

It's 12.30 in the am, I've just walked in the door and I'm fully amped, I have to write this now to capture how I feel and I'm sure even that wont really be enough!

What has me this way, Nick Cave, that's what. Regular viewers to YeLPar would be aware that I had a ticket to his gig tonight, and man o man was it awesome!!

Nick burst on the stage with song after song that rocked the house, well rocked it for some. It seems that those in the seated area didn't really know how to rock, I looked over my shoulder a few times and they were all just sitting there like stunned mullets. Now I realise that Nick isn't easy to dance to at times, but sheesh peeps, at least nod your head!!

For 2 Hours Nick crooned his ballads, introduced us to the fruit of his muse and generally blew us away. Big ups to a girl called Kirsten or Kristen, who decided that she would join Nick on stage to do some interpretive dance moves to the song Orpheus :o)

Nick closed the show with Stagger Lee

It was back in '32 when times were hard It was back in '32 when times were hardHe had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards Stagger Lee

He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hat Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that Stagger Lee

His woman threw him out in the ice and snow And told him, "Never ever come back no more" Stagger Lee

So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood Stagger Lee

He said "Mr Motherfucker, you know who I am "The barkeeper said, "No, and I don't give a good goddamn" To Stagger Lee

He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to see I'm that bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee" Mr. Stagger Lee

Barkeep said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way And I kick motherfucking asses like you every day" Mr Stagger Lee

Well those were the last words that the barkeep said 'Cause Stag put four holes in his motherfucking head

Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown Was known to make more money than any bitch in town

She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt With Stagger Lee

She saw the barkeep, said, "O God, he can't be dead! "Stag said, "Well, just count the holes in the motherfucker's head"

She said, "You ain't look like you scored in quite a time. Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime" Mr. Stagger Lee

"But there's something I have to say before you begin You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in, Mr. Stagger Lee"

"I'll stay here till Billy comes in, till time comes to pass And furthermore I'll fuck Billy in his motherfucking ass" Said Stagger Lee

"I'm a bad motherfucker, don't you know And I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one fat boy's asshole" Said Stagger Lee

Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says, "You must be That bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"Stagger Lee

"Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees And suck my dick, because If you don't you're gonna be dead" Said Stagger Lee

Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head And Stag filled him full of lead Oh yeah.

I hummed that lil baby all the way home! Sigh, it'll probably be 2 years before he's back - can't wait!!
