My daddy was an astronaut
That's what I was often taught
My daddy went away too soon
Now he's living on the moon
Hang on to me people
We're going down
Down among the fishes in an absence of sound
It's the presence of distance and it's floating in time
It's lack and it's longing and it's not very kind
Send it scratching in this rented room
Scratching and atapping to the man in the moon
About all the things that I've been taught
My daddy was an astronaut
The lyrics MAN IN THE MOON of GRINDERMAN is also present in the album Grinderman (2007)
Grinderman è un gruppo musicale australiano formatosi nel 2006 da Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Mick Harvey e Martyn P. Casey, tutti membri di lunga data dei Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. Il progetto nasce come spin-off sperimentale, con l'obiettivo di esplorare sonorità più rock e primitive rispetto al sound prevalentemente dark folk dei Bad Seeds. Il loro album d'esordio omonimo, pubblicato nel 2007, riceve un'accoglienza critica entusiasta per la sua energia cruda e le performance intense. Grinderman si distingue per l'uso di strumenti vintage, riff bluesy e testi provocatori che spaziano tra temi come il sesso, la violenza e la decadenza. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Worm Tamer", "Heathen Child" e "The Devil's Baby". Nel 2010 pubblicano il secondo album, "Grinderman 2", che consolida il loro successo e li consacra come una delle band più innovative del panorama musicale contemporaneo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
