Lyric discussion by Ad_Nauseam 

Cover art for Jesus of the Moon lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

I think another parallel between this lyric and 'We Call Upon The Author To Explain' is the idea that change must come, in the circumstances he describes ('socio-economic divisions' etc)

I find it interesting that Nick repeats a lot of lyrics in songs....check out how many times, "oh my lord" is used on No More Shall We Part. He often uses the same imagery, which I assume is not laziness but just his themes. In reference to the rains are gonna come, there is It Ain't Gonna Rain Anymore.

I started with Moonland has my fav on the new CD but have switched to JOTM.
