Grinderman - Evil Lyrics

I get it. The bird is the penis and the squid thing is the vajeen

everything you think you see in this video happens between your ears.

It sucks that these guys broke up.

Grinderman as a band isn't active, Nick cave went back to the bad seeds.

@gmadman7 yes i know, but they are all members of the bad seeds... or i'm wrong?

@rotov80 yeah I think so, but the bad seeds sound different right?

@gmadman7 yes, but i read somewhere thart nick cave says that it's a intermitent proyect. when they feel they can do another grinderman album they will do it, but maybe it won't happen again. 

Love how that bird is tranfixed the entire video...nice.

I'm more terrified of the bird....true evil

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

is it just me, or doe the lyrics seem like abit of a homage to captain beefheart?

This is one of the best videos ever. Full screen and volume, that canary is possessed!

2:23 nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom

what evolving evik-ving.
hoe needs...........
you are................
for how long is the room rented?????????????????strong footage,
really new STYLE OF TAKING MAKING videwos
evil-tastic.
i love it

Great video - that vampire squid is truly hideous.

Great song.... Shame about the video. Think it's time for them to move on from using John Hillcoat. Some of his work it's becoming very weak.

one of the few instances when a bright orange bird on a perch is 10 times more terrifying than a squid monster..thing.

i was in utrecht when grinderman2 had the gig in Utecht
20.10.201o the night my father was murderd..........................
i heard it 5 days later.
but dieser aufrtiit wird mir immer im gedaechnis bleiben.
R.I.P mein geliebter vater 20.10.2010

I did NOT like the way that bird looked at me.

LMFAO the little bird makes me LOL! It couldn't give a shit! HAHAHA
Is the other thing a squid?

QUE BUEN VIDEO Y QUE GRANDIOSA CANCIÓN!!!!!!!! es bueno deleitar los sentidos con esta gran banda....

Wow. Thanks for letting me know, that's a relief. Here I was - my entire life - worried that I was an intelligent, extremely thoughtful, deeply ponderous human being.

PS: Your grammar sucks worse than this video.

The most evil is over a minute long black/grey nothingness at the end of the video...

Hate this video?? I'm not sure I've ever seen a video match the song so perfectly!

I like Nick Cave. I like this album. I like this song. I like the bird and the space background. I HATE this video. Stupid.

Looks like Yogsoroth incarnate swimming outside the circles of time

Who needs a record player? You are my record player!

2:51 I think that's the "evil" they're talking about.

Nice bird.

Jesus,it's real !

vampire squid. search on wikipedia.

what is that thing? A space manatee?

I like the conceptual silence at the end

@asjabluedog

Went to Grinderman in holland last october, stunning show; have fun in Sydney....

@kknev a vampire squid (from hell) it is an astounding creature look it up and also check out the amazing light show it can put on to confuse enemies.

@cmcillekens thanks =) I just received my Bad Seeds/Grinderman email telling me these dates too! will have to get a Sydney ticket whilst they are still available. Last time I saw The Bad Seeds was great as they were supported by Grinderman! absolutely fantastic, all up about 3 hrs+ of music bliss.

jesus, what is this thing!?

interesting video. pointless song.

@ asjabluedog: 12 dates in Jan/Feb next year

the octopus thing during the verse is eerily suiting

@theoriginaljeffro seems to be going back to the days where the song sells the single (or cd) rather than the film clip, which really is the way it should be. Not saying I don't enjoy a good film clip, just saying that the song should be the more important thing.

Nick Cave is Australian and yet sadly this is always the last place the Bad Seeds or Grinderman ever play =(

This was surprisingly intense... there were parts where I wanted to look away.

@theoriginaljeffro 100% agreed!

Zzzzzz... It looks like experimental footage Hillcoat shot at some point and then someone decided to put it to the song so the band wouldn't have to take part in the process of doing a video.

Nick Cave é o ALTERNATIVO.

The track is cool, we can all assume that. However, I couldn't grasp what the clip tries to evoke or depict. Even though I tried as I might, I couldn't understand what the creature gliding in the space tries to tell.

yes it's a Vampyroteuthis infernalis, as known as vampire squid

@TheSpaceboss i believe it's a vampire squid

Wow! That was fantastically hypnotic and intriguing.

COOOOOOL

great song. shite video

This song is just amazing performed live!

cool idea, but left me wanting something more.

That was boring as hell. I love Grinderman and John Hillcoat but this video does very little for me.

That was insanely cool.
