Nick Cave At Home
An original piece by HEB
© 2006
Act 1
Scene 1
The scene: A comfortable middle class abode in Hove. Nick has just come home from a hard day at the office
Nick: (Humming) I’m gonna kill that woman
Susie: What was that Nicky dear
Nick: (grumbling) Nuffin
Susie: You know what I’ve told you about bringing work home with you!
Nick: Yeah… Sorry Suz babe
Everything is collapsing, dear; All moral sense has gone
It's just history repeating itself - and babe, you turn me on
Susie: Oh gawd, not this again! Why don’t you go and sing to Arthur and Earl?
Nick: Yeah. OK Pity my poor muse.
My muse is not a horse and I am in no horse race and if indeed she was, still I would not harness to this tumbrel - this bloody cart of severed heads and glittering prizes. My muse may spook! May bolt! May abandon me completely!
Susie: (warningly) NICK!!!
Nick: (sings resignedly) Digging and mixing, having so much fun; working together, they get the job done
Can we dig it? Yes! Can we build it? Yes! Can we fix it? Yes!
Bob the Builder! Bob the Builder! All together now!
Bob the Builder - Can we fix it?
Is that Adalita in the picture.......hmmmm.....thought not!
Anyone wanna try for Scene 2?
Apparently Nick really does get up and go to the office every morning, work, then come home.
..and his office is amother flat down the road
Yes, he's struggled against conformity for his entire career, fighting for his right...
...to work nine-to-five, just like any other white-collar drudge.
soemone asked me once if i was adalita. on the triple-r rooftop. isn't that hilarious?
Have you seen the Toyota ad he sold Red right hand to?
Bizarre, for an artist of his calibre.
the girl looks a bit like renee zellweger, with dark hair.
nah, don't y'all know who the chick is even?
it's his wife. she's a total fox.
Whatever you do, don't say she looks at all like a certain West Country Girl...
suzi bick.

The White Room was such a fab music TV show - shame there was only one season
that was beautiful HEB
specially the voiceover at the end. what does he say exactly?
They did a blinding version of Stagger Lee on the same show
Mark Radcliffe says: "He snogged Kylie - now he's all over PJ Harvey. What a ??[card?]?? Nick Cave and the stonking Bad Seeds..."
yep, that's what i thought too. hilarious
There was a Nick Cave gig on TVS last night. I'd seen it B4 years back. From around 1990 i think.
Jarvis and Nick chat in Dublin
Jarvis: I don't live in England any more but I came back the other day and was watching telly and that Johnny Cash song came on [Hurt]. But it was advertising Nike trainers, and that struck me as being a particularly inappropriate use of music.
Nick Cave: I personally find that offensive. Iggy Pop's Lust For Life was used for a car ad. I used to drive around in my car when I was 19 screaming that song, and it had an anti-establishment purpose. For it now to be appropriated by the advertising industry ... I think that's fucked. I don't know what situation the people who have written the music are in, if they need the money or ... I'm not trying to take the moral high ground but I wouldn't allow my music to be used in that way.
Jarvis: Do you get offers?
Nick Cave: Often. There's a song called Red Right Hand, and a sanitary napkin company back in New Zealand wanted to use it, which was tempting ... but that was the closest I've ever come. You do get an enormous amount of money waved in front of you, more money than you make anywhere else in the industry, and all you have to do is say yes ...
I want this!

Singer Nick Cave has been offered driver training as an alternative to prosecution after crashing into a seafront speed camera in Brighton The 53-year-old Australian musician was behind the wheel of a Jaguar saloon when it struck the camera in Queensway on 7 December last year. The singer and his twin 10-year-old sons, who were also in the car, walked away unharmed from the crash. Cave, who lives in the area, was not arrested.

Modi said about 3 years ago:
If Cave had half a dick, he would have turned it down
But he's a washed up hack, now anyway.
He's the Lou Reed of Australian music.
