Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds 
I have been listening to this tune for about a month and it occurred to me that it would have made a perfect song of the week choice around Easter--lol. You can't enjoy a living poet like Nick Cave without giving some real attention to his lyrics. So here they are. Dig it.
I'm not sure why Nick's new look has him looking like a '70s drug dealer, but check out the video anyway.
