For me, Nick Cave never fails to impress, whether it is his piano led and lyrically strong material that he has perfected, the dark 'Birthday Party' stuff or the more guitar based project which is 'Grinderman'. Nick Cave has always had subject material and lyrics from the darker side and Grinderman just adds a bit more grunt to it all, however, it is still Nick Cave all the same. So the lyrics are still about God, Death, Love (usually the dark side of Love), Murder and more God and more Death or all of the above. It is often with his tongue in his cheek... but a great story is regularly told as well. Usually a story about God, Death or Murder. "Heathen Child" is no exception.
