where the wild roses grow

• nick cave'in kylie minogue'la duet yaptigi en oscar kliplerden birine sahip sarki. (bkz: gulu seven dikenine katlanir)
• they call me the wild rose
  but my name was elisa day
  why they call me it i do not know
  for my name was elisa day
  
  from the first day i saw i knew she was the one
  as she stared in my eyes and smiled
  for her lips were the colour of the roses
  that grew down the river, all bloody and wild
  
  when he knocked on my door and entered the room
  my trembling subsided in his sure embrace
  he would be my first man, and with a careful hand
  he wiped at the tears that ran down my face
  
  on the second day i brought her a flower
  she was more beautiful than any woman i'd seen
  i said, "do you know where the wild roses grow
  so sweet and scarlet and free?"
  
  on the second day he came with a single red rose
  said, "will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"
  i nodded my head, as i lay on the bed
  he said, "if i show you the roses will you follow?"
  
  on the third day he took me to the river
  he showed me the roses and we kissed
  and the last thing i heard was a muttered word
  as he stood smiling above me with
• a$mı$ $arki..deh$et taparim..
  insanin icini urpetiyo...
• sonu şöyledir:
  
  as he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist...
  
  on the last day i took her where the wild roses grow
  and she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
  and i kissed her goodbye, said, "all beauty must die"
  and lent down and planted a rose between her teeth..

• (bkz: all beauty must die felsefesi)
• ismi where the red fern growsu hatırlatan şarkı
• klibinde kylie ve nick börtü böcek, ıssız bir göl ve çiçekler arasındadır. kylie tüm güzelliğiyle bir gölün içerisinde, beyaz elbisesiyle ölü halde yatar. nick cave onun güzelliğinden öyle etkilenmiştir ki bozulmasın ister, all beauty must die demiştir. lolita'daki humbert humbert gibi bir nevi kelebeği saklamak güzelliği ölümsüzleştirmek ister. zaman onun düşmanıdır. sonra nick cave in ellerindeki kanı gölde temizlediğini görürüz ve şarkı başlar. şarkı söylenir en sonunda nick cansız kylieye bir gül bırakır.
