can t remember anything at all
As the simulated rainy season begins, i m driving my car down to geneva, i see robert johnson
Robert johnson and the devil man, and a bellhop hops and bops
the roses all in bloom
With a mummified cat and a cone-like hat, hear a man preaching in a language that s completely new
He got the real killer groove, flame trees on fire, i see robert johnson
Have you ever heard about the higgs boson blues, lookin for a tune
look here comes the missionary
I take a room with a view, flame trees line the streets Nick, i see robert johnson
i m driving my car down to geneva
mama ate the pygmy
can t remember anything at all
look here comes the missionary
can you feel my heartbeat
sitting and singin the higgs boson blues
i came upon a crossroad
That the caliphate forced on the jews, while the cleaning ladies sob into their mops
and cries with the dolphins
flame trees line the streets
That the caliphate forced on the jews, hannah montana does the african savannah
Hear a man preaching in a language that s completely new, who cares what the future brings
gonna teach it to you
The night was hot and black, he s saving them savages
All the clocks have stopped in memphis now, in my favorite yellow patent leather shoes
Girls walk past, i m driving my car down to geneva
Just watched the movie Cross Roads. (Karate Kid sweeps Steve Vai's leg) Now this is a nice desert.
Miley Virus is outside but quarantine has it's little bonuses.
I'm reminded on my birthday, that 30 years ago I watched a young punk fronting a band called Birthday Party at La Dolce Vita, Lausanne, Switzerland. Nick Cave is like port, just gets better.
I think the songs refers to looking for life's meaning in the contemporary world. The star system and mainstream culture, symbolized by Miley Cyrus-Hannah Montana, seem devoid of meaning. Their concern about nature or the developing countries looks pretentious or fake. Moreover, religion seems also expired. Hence, the missionary suffers from "smallpox and flu" and the preacher cannot bring a new awareness to the ones listening to him. In this context, Rober Johnson's legendary pact with the Devil looks promising - maybe the Devil can give us answers just like he made Robert Johnson such a terrific bluesman according to the legend. However, what permeates the whole song is the Higgs Boson. Maybe plain science and analyzing can give the answers. Nevetheless, this approach can make one lose his/her humanity or his/her soul, since the road of Geneva is ablaze. Moreover, it's on the very road to Geneva where the speaker finds Robert Johnson and the Devil. So is this sticking with science a new pact with the Devil? Can it ever solve life's deepest concerns? One should always keep in mind Nick Cave's quite religious background.
