Heathen Child

[! JDM The Professional !]

Hey little momo
Light as a rainbow,
Heavy as an asteroid
Crashed in the bathtub

Yeah, sitting in the bathtub
Hair full of her fingers
Hair full of her fingers

Yeah, sitting in the bathtub
Says, “I’m scared and lonely”
Sweet little momo says,
“I’m scared and lonely”

Here come the wolfman
Hey little momo
Saying, “hey little momo”
Saying, “hey little momo”
Sitting in the bathtub

My heathen child
She’s a heathen child
Yeah, she’s a heathen child
Yeah, she’s a real wild child

She got a little powder
She got a little gun
She got a little poison
Got a little gun
Sitting in the bathtub
Sucking her thumb

Says, “I don't care about Buddha
[Don’t] care about Krishna
Don't care about Allah
Don't care about anything”
Just sitting in the bathtub,
Sucking her thumb…

Cuz, she’s a heathen child
Yeah, she’s a heathen child
Now, she’s a heathen child
Yeah, she’s a real wild child

[yeah… yeah, come on baby]

Oh, poor little momo
Yeah, paddled and rowed (?)
She’s got a little powder
Got a little gun
Sitting in the bathtub
Having some fun

She was raised by beasts
and grabbed by vultures
Oh, here come the wolfman
The abominable snowman
Got a little poison
Got a little gun
Sitting in her bathtub
Waiting for the wolfman to come


You think your great big husband will protect you, you are wrong
You think your little wife will protect you, you are wrong
You think your children will protect you, you are wrong
You think your government will protect you, you are wrong

She don't care about Allah
She is the Allah
Don’t care about Buddha
She is the Buddha

Coz, she's a heathen child
Yeah, she's a heathen child
She’s a heathen child
She’s a heathen child

[Yeah, someone left the bathtub running

I for one, love it. Would like to hear other opinions on it, and possibly how you analyzed the lyrical content and such.

Nick Cave is the shit. I loved "Dig, Lazarus, Dig!" and I just downloaded Grinderman 2 last night. Gonna listen to it today.

I plan to buy Grinderman 2 when it hits stores in Aus. There are only few artists I'd actually spend money to buy their albums. He is one of them! "Dig Lazarus Dig" was nothing short of a masterpiece. He's Australias Bob Dylan!

What a great album!! I am a big Nick Cave fan, but was slightly disappointed by Grinderman1. I had high expectations for it, and I felt it didn't deliver. Grinderman 2, on the other hand, took the same expectations I had, and blew it away! Such an excellent work of art! Heathen Child, the albums single, is so fucking addictive, I've had to listen to it over and over and over again.

Overall rating: A

Definitely worth checking this one out guys. Very good album.
