"Where The Wild Roses Grow"

Nothing new, but I love this song and story. The Merry Xmas murder song! Damn, How Good is this? Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave. "On the third day he took me to the river He showed me the roses and we kissed And the last thing I heard was a muttered word As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist" "On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die" And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
