Probably Dylan fans would disagree, but this is an insanaly good cover of this beautiful song.

[@Trendkiller169]

Lay lady lay Lay across my big brass bed Lay lady lay Lay across my big brass bed Stay lady stay Stay while the night is still ahead Stay lady stay Heaven's fills our head Whatever colors that you have in your mind I show them on to you and you see them shine Stay lady stay Stay with your man a while Till the break of day Then you're gonna see him smile His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean And you're the best thing, he's ever seen Why wait any longer for the world to begin? You can have your cake and eat it too Why wait any longer for the one you love When he's standing over you? Lay lady lay Lay across my big brass bed Stay lady stay We're gonna build the whole night ahead I long to see you in the morning light I long to reach for you all night Lay lady lay

[@AlexanderDunetz]

"His clothes are dirty But , his hands are clean. And you're the best thing that he's ever seen." Bob Dylan LIE LADY LIE. (grammatically proper title of Dylan song from album Nashville Skyline ..... otherwise ..... The term "Lay" used in Dylan/Cash song is grammatically imcorrect because Inanimate objet (sacks of flour or dead bodies) are "lay" - - - - - - but - - - - - - Animate objet (ladies , gents , mad dogs , and Englishmen) are "lie" . And that is NO LIE , muthafuckee !!

[@dugp1862]

This is the tune that got me into them when I was in middle school. Song is amazing, so is this album.

[@christopherwalker6056]

Doug Prishpreed You have heard the original by Dylan right?

[@dugp1862]

Of course. Whenever I listen to a cover I always listen to the original as well. Ministry made this song their own in a way, doesn't really resemble much of the original. Except for the live cover they did with Ministry and friends featuring Eddie Vedder. Sounded almost spot on if it weren't for Eddies drunken garble back up vocals. It's on youtube, you might have seen it.

[@christopherwalker6056]

No I haven't . I'll have to check it out.

[@PlanarCollapse2]

I always say this about Ministry covers: they don't follow the letter, but they somehow manage to follow the spirit.

[@IggyMontpellierPro]

PlanarCollapse2 I think it's great when they follow the spirit and add their own dose of spirit to the track. When they did "Roadhouse Blues" I went fucking nuts. It was amazing.

[@darrenm.8049]

The sound of the bass drum (real clear on the final bars of the song) is something I've envied as a drummer the moment I heard it 💙💙💙

[@alasyon]

Amazing cover. The drum rhythms are fantastic, the bass line is so memorable, the guitars are amazing, and that vocal with the delay is just spot on. When I heard the Disturbed cover of Sound of Silence, all I could think was - Ministry did that concept so much better.

[@Desecrator6]

alasyon disturbed's horrendous cover sounded like a Christmas song...and that bad vocal timing rubbed me the wrong way...this is solid gold in comparison.

[@robertbretta2461]

This band is simply amazing,always has been, always will be. This is a masterpiece... The Ministry way..

I love Ministry, have since I was a pup before psalm 69 came out. I have a great appreciation from the many nights of American youth vs Americas best drugs #mescaline #LSD25 #crankmethlithREI and winning (almost) every time. I can hardly remember (of what I can) any of those fond moments ministry wasn't a part of in the background #Faith Colapsing while tripping balls. However when you guys say best Dylan cover ever,...EVER? You are dismissing Bob Marley, Jimmy Hendrix and Johnny Mother Fucking Cash. maybe that's giving them more credit than they deserve. IDK, but I know whats fucked. Of them ALL he says his favorite cover ever of one of his songs was by Garth Brooks. Aint that some shit.
