Nothing Nick Cave does is normal, so it should come as no surprise that his new song with the Bad Seeds, "Give Us a Kiss," is anything but a loving, simple exhortation to a lover.
Instead, this subdued, eerie tune is about a lost lover still haunting the singer's dreams. "Give us a kiss / One little sip, sip, sip / Before you slip, slip, slip away," Cave sings, sounding simultaneously tender and obsessive in a way only he can.
