The Mercy Seat is a song on Tender Prey, here's a really cool video video of Cave singing it live, it's absolutely immense, wait until the end it's breathtaking.



But yeah, lyrically the whole album is very dark, case in point:

O My O My
What a wretched life
I was born on the day
That my poor mother died
I was cut from her belly
With a stanley knife
My daddy did a jig
With the drunk midwife

Hope I've sold it to you.
