Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Babe, I'm On Fire Lyrics

Ewerybody says this is masterpiece.nick is sick

The most appropriate yet inappropriate Australian song right now

What music should be! Makes you think and feel uncomfortable in equal measure. Im on fire! From London Scottish Chemical brother.

Well I thought O'Malley's bar is very long Nick's song

OOOH YEAH!🤘👍

Offensive and morally dubious? Does that even make a dent these days? Everything is...

Why fuckin not ?? I did..

..sup€r traxXoN€ aaanD Live long & Prosper

“The Christian apologist says”
*shows an image of Nick*

genius work of art

Still cool in 2019 and still short

Где-то минуте на десятой можно прятать трупы и это будет надежнее третьей страницы гугла!

I love you to | a mate!

I can't be stopped

15 craziest minutes on fire

What a pleasure !!!

What if they did the whole thing and then they were told that they weren't recording.

I think he's on fire.

Esto es una muestra de que se puede seguir creyendo en la musica

2:53 is that willem defoe??

That moment when Nick Cave dressed up as his wive is a more elegant looking woman than you'll ever be :D

Ahuitelno!🙌

RIP CONWAY SAVAGE :((

This was the opening dance on my wedding! Haven't seen my relatives ever since.

Thank you - that comment has me laughing out loud.

:D :D :D

Greatest, scary choice for such an event!

Brilliant.

О , от души подурачились!!! 👍👍👍

О, да, детка!

I think Nick was making some quite mediocre music on this album. I mean, No More... has always been one of my favourite Cave albums, and Abattoir/Lyre was groundbreaking, versatile and excellent, but I don't get this album he released between those 2. The songs are not only mediocre but seem a nod on the head to Cave's trendy 21st century contemporaries, and this song for one is just too repetitive. He seems to have lost his trademark styles, qualities + general personality here. Anyone agree ?

I'll be honest, this only works as a music video.
Actually seeing all these things keeps it from being too repetitive

there is a live version? still haven't found what I'm looking for..

You need humor to like Nick Cave.I have a lot of fun.xox.

λογικο να εισαι on fire με τοση μπογια στο μαλλι ρε ψηλέα...

babe I'm on F ire toooooo  ))

Very funny and an absurd track unexpected humour from nick cave

Nocturama might be Nick cave's weakest album, but this song is just badass.

if i make something lke this,mentioned anyone and anything what and who pissed me off,that song would be even longer than this one masterpiece

an eccentric 15 minute jam session

Im suprised that Flea is not in this video

What do think he's really trying to say with this piece?

I guess maybe that he's a bit warm?

Someone needs to remind him to 'stop, drop and roll'.... Maybe thats a weird Aussie thing(?)

i think the point of the song is that everybody's on fire except for him and/or the girl he's in love with.
i think it's quite a sad and beautiful song

WEITER IM ON FIRE 1JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

An ugly song ,a very ugly video 😬

The comments below sayin', what the fuck she says, babe I'm on fire.

Zoloft please...

What's up with Nick's wife and furniture? I noticed in other song (My Sorrowful Wife) she's shifting furniture around.

lol who just shifts furniture around for a hobby?

explosion of epicness

butthole

Love you Nick!

and the two dogs are looking much better than the men Ive been fucking and I;m on fire cause I love you

What a fucking horrible monotonous monster of a song.

on repeat...

Still red hot after all these years... go on Australia, make him Prime Minister. ;)

hate this song, so repetetive

and this is why everybody talkin smack about Nocturama needs to STFU

I belive that Nick Cave is on fire, but I can't be sure.

Why did Nick dressed as a woman remember me of Hugo Weaving?

This is fantastic.

I'm in the basement , gettin a taste for it right now , song to ive by

Could be the most important song in decades.

fyoz furay who wants another can says it

i can live all my live in this tune.

it's the best absurdity, what I ever see and listen...

i think they had a lot of fun making this.

This is the best fucking music video ever.

that was the wierdest music video ive ever seen, and i loved it

fuck yeah to get ya anger out ! ... im on fireeeeee !!! ... *cleans cupboards * .....

I just hope that people sit through the whole video, it's insane what happens there. Nick Cave is insane. I love it

Knoc knoc - Tiene 15 minutos para hablar de Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

AND THAT GUY IN YOUTUBE COMMENT SECTION SAYS ! HA HAH AHA HAHAHHJASDJFASDJOFASDF

captivating

Loveley!

this is a very funny vid

Blixa says it

This should be played at all weddings, though the dance moves may be difficult to replicate

My new anthem, babe I'm on fire!!!!

"my wife with her furnitures" - I can't believe ! Nick dressed up like his own wife (a model, Susie Bick) and parodized her. :D ( 6:08 )

Another of Nick's songs called The Sorrowful Wife has a line about his wife "shifting the furniture around"
Obviously a pet peeve of Nick's :)

he mentions that in the new film saying that "she can change the status of a room while he's sleeping in it". Cute.

i love the Bassguitar sound in this :) actually i love the complete song. all sides of it. it is long enough to notice difrent things in one listening.

on guitar mr.Jack White????

@Тимофей Лещенко Nope, it's Blixa Bargeld.
