Cover art for I Had a Dream, Joe lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Nick Cave is a juxtaposition in that i think Nick here is refering to Jesus..literally through out.....erh yeah obviously......"I had a dream....JOE???" then later 'God is in the house'??!! Perhaps describes inri....arms to the sky...foam...mouth.....? He also says he keeps getting alot of mail after nights of consideration, yet he feels as if jesus is a body on his back. The mail is the literature that piles up behind his door. He is saying he lost his faith. "All dressed up in your ridiculous seersucker suit" "With that strew of wreckage......Forever at the heel of your boot"............."A pimp (jesus) in seersucker suit sucked a toothpick, And pointed his finger at me" ...judged him? Yeah that's all i've got but f**k it no one else tried, however amusing.
