Nick Cave - The Mercy Seat

I thought about this one the other day when I posted a track from Ultra Vivid Scene's debut album, since that also included a song called "The Mercy Seat". Different songs though, on the off chance that anyone was wondering.

Nick Cave's ode to the electric chair was always going to be creepy - let's face it, Nick Cave's songs are usually creepy no matter what they're about - but this acoustic version is almost unbearably so. Not one to listen to on a bad day, particularly if you've got sharp objects around.
