To watch the news on TV
I saw some ordinary slaughter
I saw some routine atrocity
My father said, don't look away
You got to be strong, you got to be bold, now
He said, that in the end it is beauty
That is going to save the world, now
And she moves among the sparrows
And she floats upon the breeze
She moves among the flowers
She moves something deep inside of me
I was walking around the flower show like a leper
Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria
When I saw you standing there, green eyes, black hair
Up against the pink and purple wisteria
You said, hey, nature boy, are you looking at me
With some unrighteous intention?
My knees went weak,
I couldn't speak, I was having thoughts
That were not in my best interests to mention
And she moves among the flowers
And she floats upon the smoke
She moves among the shadows
She moves me with just one little look
You took me back to your place
And dressed me up in a deep sea diver's suit
You played the patriot, you raised the flag
And I stood at full salute
Later on we smoked a pipe that struck me dumb
And made it impossible to speak
As you closed in, in slow motion,
Quoting Sappho, in the original Greek
She moves among the shadows
She floats upon the breeze
She moves among the candles
And we moved through the days
and through the years
Years passed by, we were walking by the sea
Half delirious
You smiled at me and said, Babe
I think this thing is getting kind of serious
You pointed at something and said
Have you ever seen such a beautiful thing?
It was then that I broke down
It was then that you lifted me up again
She moves among the sparrows
And she walks across the sea
She moves among the flowers
And she moves something deep inside of me
She moves among the sparrows
And she floats upon the breeze
She moves among the flowers
And she moves right up close to me
Man, I just bump the rating higher each time I hear this... Who knew Nick Cave could get me humming along and tapping my foot incessantly...
8->9 cause I assure turn it up. Such a great groove, it moves me.

Noyce track Bill
...Look, there's The Man in the Dusty Black Coat with the Red Right Hand!
-- Nick did the Peaky foakkin' BLOYNdahs OST, yeah!
YOU ROCK, NICK!
(And I love Nick's Bowie-/Edgar Winter-like "Freak Storm" character in the exquisitely trippy film Johnny Suede, with Brad Pitt when he was only a kid -- and his hair was perfect! No; really! Check it out!
I'm finding that Nick Cave is one of those artists that I don't go out of my way to listen to (i.e. He is not on my desert island list) but I always turn RP up when his songs come on... anyone else have that musical quirk with bands or artists?
i think he's starting to get onto my deserted island mix now. just love it.
No ego whatsoever.
Love Nick Cave & I think he's acknowledged the influence of this Cockney Rebel tune.
I like this track. But i do find myself going 'Come up & see me...' half way through.
Not a problem. Just saying.

Great!
If you can find it on youtube, there is a song by nick called into my arms, very powerful song
Man, I just bump the rating higher each time I hear this... Who knew Nick Cave could get me humming along and tapping my foot incessantly...
Unfortunately, I can't keep bumping it anymore; we've hit the ceiling!

No kidding. I just finally gave up and gave it a 10. I give up Nick; you're just amazing.
Alright, alright, this really is Nick Cave.
OK. Me too!
Yep! Me also!
Diphtheria?
Wisteria? Listeria?
"Hmmm... what rhymes with hysteria?"
Diphtheria?
Mundane song

![daisy](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/daisy.gif)
I'll+1 to 9 too, LLRP!!
OK. Me too!
Me too!
See him live and see a godlike songster.
OK. Me too!
That would be one helluva concert. This song demands participation.
ἔμμεν᾽ ὤνηρ, ὄττις ἐνάντιός τοι
ἰσδάνει καὶ πλάσιον ἆδυ φωνεί-
σας ὐπακούει
καὶ γελαίσας ἰμέροεν, τό μ᾽ ἦ μὰν
καρδίαν ἐν στήθεσιν ἐπτόαισεν·
ὠς γὰρ ἔς σ᾽ ἴδω βρόχε᾽, ὤς με φώναι-
σ᾽ οὐδ᾽ ἒν ἔτ᾽ εἴκει,
ἀλλ᾽ ἄκαν μὲν γλῶσσα †ἔαγε†, λέπτον
δ᾽ αὔτικα χρῶι πῦρ ὐπαδεδρόμηκεν,
ὀππάτεσσι δ᾽ οὐδ᾽ ἒν ὄρημμ᾽, ἐπιρρόμ-
βεισι δ᾽ ἄκουαι,
†έκαδε μ᾽ ἴδρως ψῦχρος κακχέεται†, τρόμος δὲ
παῖσαν ἄγρει, χλωροτέρα δὲ ποίας
ἔμμι, τεθνάκην δ᾽ ὀλίγω ᾽πιδεύης
φαίνομ᾽ ἔμ᾽ αὔται·
ἀλλὰ πὰν τόλματον ἐπεὶ †καὶ πένητα†
Easy Peasy!. . . to quote, a Souf' London vernacular
and apparently - here is the translation
"That man seems to me to be equal to the gods
who is sitting opposite you
and hears you nearby
speaking sweetly
and laughing delightfully, which indeed
makes my heart flutter in my breast;
for when I look at you even for a short time,
it is no longer possible for me to speak
but it is as if my tongue is broken
and immediately a subtle fire has run over my skin,
I cannot see anything with my eyes,
and my ears are buzzing
a cold sweat comes over me, trembling
seizes me all over, I am paler
than grass, and I seem nearly
to have died.
but everything must be dared/endured, since (?even a poor man) ..."
and put me in that diving suit.
Ok. I'm listening now.

I am Dr. Strangelove and I approve of this song.
Just stay seated and keep that arm down!! ;-)
I really like this too....other than the trouble this album gave me when ripping (my own CD) - first w/ the '/' then w/ the LONG track names....UGGG....at least the track is excellent to listen to, and it garners an 8.4 rating from me....almost ready to bump to 9....almost....
Long Live RP!!

I agree, and this track is the highlight for me.

Not a Cockney Rebel - Nick Cave is an Australian Artist.

Indeed. The title of this is poignant in light of the recent tragic death of Nick Cave's young song. So sad.

hard to find. worth looking for.

I just did the same thing: 8 to 9. I wish I'd discovered NC earlier.
