Riveting
Nick Cave, on a song from the album – masterpiece with which he and the Bad Seeds welcomed the millennium.

Where is Mona, she’s long gone?
Where is Mary, she’s taken her along?
But they haven’t put their mittens on
And there’s fifteen feet of pure white snow?
Where is Michael, where is Mark?
Where is Mathew, now it’s getting dark?
Oh, where is John, they are all out back?
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Would you please put down that telephone
We’re under fifteen feet of pure white snow
I waved to my neighbour, my neighbour waved to me
But my neighbour is my enemy
I kept waving my arms ’til I could not see
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is anybody out there please?
It’s too quiet in here and I’m beginning to freeze
I’ve got icicles hanging from my knees
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is there anybody here who feels this low?
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Doctor, doctor, I’m going mad
This is the worst day I’ve ever had
I can’t remember ever feeling this bad
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Where’s my nurse, I need some healing?
I’ve been paralysed by this lack of feeling
I can’t even find anything worth stealing
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is there anyone else here who doesn’t know?
We’re under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Save Yourself, save yourself
Help Yourself, save yourself
Save Yourself, save yourself
Help Yourself, help yourself
Save yourself, help yourself
Help yourself, yeah-yeah-yeah
