1. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Tupelo

http://www.nickcaveandthebadseeds.com/reissues/the-firstborn-is-dead

Looka yonder! Looka yonder!
Looka yonder! A big black cloud come!
A big black cloud come!
O comes to Tupelo. Comes to Tupelo

Yonder on the horizon
Yonder on the horizon
Stopped at the mighty river
Stopped at the mighty river and
Sucked the damn thing dry
Tupelo-o-o, O Tupelo
In a valley hides a town called Tupelo

Distant thunder rumble. Distant thunder rumble
Rumble hungry like the Beast
The Beast it cometh, cometh down
The Beast it cometh, cometh down
Wo wo wo-o-o
Tupelo bound. Tupelo-o-o. Yeah Tupelo
The Beast it cometh, Tupelo bound
……

The Firstborn Is Dead is the second studio album released by the post-punk band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It was first released in 1985. On this record, singer Nick Cave continued his fascination with the American South, with its references to Elvis Presley and bluesmen like Blind Lemon Jefferson. The photography is by Jutta Heinglein.
The album’s name is a reference to Jesse Garon Presley, the stillborn identical twin of Elvis Presley.
„Tupelo“ is loosely based on the John Lee Hooker song of the same title, which is about a flood in Tupelo, Mississippi (Hooker’s song appears on Original Seeds). Tupelo is the birthplace of Elvis Presley. Cave’s song incorporates imagery of the birth of Elvis and the apocalypse at the second coming of Christ. However, the „Looky, Looky Yonder“ motif that features in the song is derived from a song of the same name recorded by Lead Belly, usually found as part of a medley which Cave himself covered under the title „Black Betty“ on his third album, Kicking Against the Pricks.

THE MODERN WORLD – Paul Weller
This is a modern world, this is the modern world.
What kind of a fool do you think I am?
You think I know nothing of the modern world.
All my life has been the same
I’ve learned to live by hate and pain
It’s my inspiration drive –
I’ve learned more than you’ll ever know
Even at school I feld quite sure
That one day I would be on top
And I’d look down upon the map
The teachers who said I’d be nothing –
This is the modern world, that I’ve learnt about
This is the modern world, we don’t need no one
To tell us what’s right or wrong –
Say what you like, ‚cause I don’t care
I know where I am and going too
It’s somewhere I won’t preview
Don’t have to explain myself to you
I don’t give two fucks about your review!
