Cover art for The Carnival Is Over lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Aw - a trip down memory lane! I loved this song when I was a kid, it was sung by The Seekers, Judith Durham, wonderful voice. I was a bit queasy when I saw Nick Cave had covered it, I thought he might spoil it for me. But he could have been born to sing it, his version is just as good as the original. Love it! Anybody who hasn't heard the older version, it's well worth a listen.
