Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat (Live From KCRW)

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

This is the best version of this song. It really gets you in the gut, and has more depth and impact than the original.

[@gramsmith4677]

The lyrics stand up on their own - brilliant.

[@Alexandra14238]

Nick performed this last Thursday night in Nashville, TN at his Q & A tour. I can't tell you how powerful it was. You would have had to have been there. Thank you, Nick.

[@LoweringMyProfile]

Those violins sound so beautiful! That song reaches me deep into my spirit. That’s one thing about Nick Cave as well Peaky Blinders they have some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard. God bless!

[@SB-hc1nt]

This is one of his most beautiful,gripping and chilling songs and live is best I've seen it a few times live it's entrancing. Warren Ellis is an amazing violinist. Nick Cave brought me here I've listen to him for a long time and this song in particular. I like him as far back as his work with Lydia Lunch and Rowland Howard.He's much like Leonard Cohen it's undeniable. I've heard a comparison to Tom Waits not in a million years, Cohen yes.

[@burpie3258]

He immediately reminded me of Cohen as well

[@CrookedWeather]

I love this track. Been a big fan of Nick for years but recently bought this live album which got me into this track. Find it more inviting than the original studio version and more raw and honest than Johnny Cash's take on it and lets not forget Warren on the violin!!!

[@johnarundell7951]

Nick & The Bad Seeds are currently performing this classic on their Australia/NZ tour .. I witnessed them blasting it out from 10m away the other night it was incredible :) Nick is in fine form really tearing it up with Warren and the rest of the guys who are touring America and probably Europe later in the year. They played 7 of the 8 songs from Skeleton Tree as well. So deep.

[@CrookedWeather]

I began to warm and chill To objects and their fields A ragged cup, a twisted mop The face of Jesus in my soup Those sinister dinner deals The meal trolley's wicked wheels A hooked bone rising from my food All things either good or ungood And 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 proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die Interpret signs and catalogue A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind They are the sick breath at my hind They are the sick breath at my hind They are the sick breath at my hind They are the sick breath gathering at my hind I hear stories from the chamber How Christ was born into a manger And like some ragged stranger Died upon the cross And might I say, it seems so fitting in its way He was a carpenter by trade Or at least that's what I'm told Like my good hand tattooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist In Heaven His throne is made of gold The ark of his Testament is stowed A throne from which I'm told All history does unfold Down here it's made of wood and wire And my body is on fire And God is never far away Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye So I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L. Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D. 'Tis a long-suffering shackle Collaring all that devil blood And the mercy seat is burning And I think my head is flowing And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all this weighing up of truth An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And I've got nothing left to lose And I'm not afraid to die And the mercy seat is glowing And I think my head is melting And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all this twisting of the truth An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway, I saw no proof And nor no motive why And the mercy seat is melting And I think my blood is boiling And in a way I'm spoiling All the fun by all this consequence and truth An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And I've got nothing left to lose And I'm not afraid to die And 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 proof A eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway there was no proof And nor a motive why And 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 proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die And 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 proof A life for a life And a truth for a truth And anyway there was no proof And I'm not afraid to die And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is smoking And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all these looks of disbelief An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die And 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 proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die And 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 proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die And 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 proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die And 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 proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die And 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 proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to lie And 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 proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to lie And 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 proof An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm afraid I told a lie

[@AlexandreLopesdoNascimentoFilh]

Comecei a me aquecer e me resfriar Em relação a objetos e suas áreas. Um copo em pedaços, um esfregão torcido O rosto de Jesus em minha sopa Esses sinistros jantares de negócios As rodas tenebrosas do carrinho de refeições Um osso em forma de gancho saindo da minha comida Todas as coisas boas ou ruins. E o trono da misericórdia está esperando E eu acho que minha cabeça está queimando De certa forma, estou ansiando Para acabar logo com todo esse pesar da verdade. Olho por olho E dente por dente De qualquer modo, eu disse a verdade E eu não tenho medo de morrer. Ouço histórias da câmara Cristo nasceu em uma manjedoura E, como um estranho esfarrapado Ele morreu na cruz Devo dizer, parece tão apropriado à sua maneira Ele era um carpinteiro de profissão Ou pelo menos é o que me disseram. Minha mão assassina Tatuou "E.V.I.L." no punho de sua irmã Esse quinteto sujo! Eles não fizeram nada para contestar ou resistir. No Céu, Seu trono é feito de ouro A arca de seu Testamento está guardada Um trono de onde me disseram Que toda a história se desdobra. É feito de madeira e arame E o meu corpo está em chamas E Deus nunca está longe. Ao trono da misericórdia eu subo Minha cabeça é raspada, minha cabeça está ligada E como uma mariposa que tenta Entrar no olho brilhante Eu vou embaralhando a vida Só para me esconder na morte por algum tempo E de qualquer maneira, eu nunca menti. E o trono da misericórdia está esperando E eu acho que minha cabeça está queimando E de certa forma, eu estou ansiando Para acabar logo como todo esse pesar da verdade. Olho por olho E dente por dente De qualquer modo, eu disse a verdade E eu não tenho medo de morrer. E o trono da misericórdia está queimando E eu acho que minha cabeça está brilhando E de alguma forma estou esperando Acabar logo com toda essa distorção da verdade. Olho por olho E dente por dente De qualquer modo, não houve provas E eu não tenho medo de morrer. E o trono da misericórdia está brilhando E acho que minha cabeça está se esfumaçando E de alguma forma estou esperando Acabar logo com todos esses olhares de descrença. Vida por vida, E verdade por verdade E eu não tenho nada a perder. E eu não tenho medo de morrer. E o trono da misericórdia está se esfumaçando E acho que minha cabeça está derretendo E de alguma forma, isso está ajudando A acabar logo com toda essa distorção da verdade Olho por olho E dente por dente De qualquer modo, eu disse a verdade Mas temo ter dito uma mentira.

[@arturogaytan-bazan8945]

he has a big catalog and it could be a bit daunting. If you're interesting in these piano ballads I would suggest checking out The Boatmans Call and No Longer Shall We Part. both of those albums are incredibly beautiful.
