Ah - yet another classic about killing women. Cave is excelling himself here - it opens with the immortal line 'there is woman-pie in here.' This one breaks from the standard Birthday Party template - first drums, then bass, then nick, then guitars - by doing all the above, but with the mental leap of playing it at a quarter of the normal speed. The highlight is the inevitable moment when Nick says 'And all the girls across the world.....

are........
hit. '
MAGNIFICENT. Why didn't the sugarhill gang sing it that way?

As far as I know, this the only song bassist Tracy Pew is credited with writing. His part is pretty obvious. It's the bass line.
