On the second day he came with a single red rose He said, "Give me your loss and your sorrow?" I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed "If I show you the roses will you follow?" They call me The Wild Rose But my name was Elisa Day Why they call me that I do not know For my name was Elisa Day On the third day he took me to the river He showed me the roses and we kissed And the last thing I heard was a muttered word As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die." And I leant down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth They call me The Wild Rose But my name was Elisa Day Why they call me it I do not know For my name was Elisa Day My name was Elisa Day For my name was Elisa Day (C)1995 Mute Records, a BMG Company.  #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #WhereTheWildrosesGrow #KylieMinogue

My tiny mind found this hard to take in at the time. But hey, it’s a pretty good tune and it’s always good to broaden your perceptions.

    This entire album is fuckin excellent. Stagger Lee, Henry Lee (featuring PJ Harvey), and my personal favorite, The Curse of Millhaven. Oh, and O’Malley’s bar. The entire album is fuckin great. Intense, but amazing.

    I had no idea this collab existed. Thank you Aussies for educating the rest of us 🙏

    The commonly accepted narrative is that Nick Cave saved Kylie’s career by elevating her from a disposable pop star to indie credibility. Though it’s more likely to be the other way around: before Where The Wild Roses Grow, Cave was largely unknown outside the goth subculture, and getting a bit old there. Kylie exposed him to Middle Australia and arguably put him on a path to National Treasure status, beloved of middle-aged people who read serious newspapers, and few of whom would have ever listened to a Birthday Party record.

      I fucking love the birthday party.

      Thanks for this take, though. Minogue was never really on my radar, even after being featured on this excellent album. Interesting to hear, because I love Nick Cave. Although, admittedly, I haven’t really gotten into anything he’s put out since Abattoir Blues / Lyre of Orpheus. And even a few of the albums between from her to eternity (my favorite NC&TBS album, followed closely by The Firstborn is Dead) and Lyre are hit or miss for me. But the birthday party didn’t really miss. Although they took way fewer swings. And I like both grinderman albums. But the bad seeds stuff really ebbed and flowed in quality, especially later on.
