The Bad Seeds: Red Right Hand

Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Hey man, you know
You're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge
Past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
A red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms,
Tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
It took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole
Heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing that you can do
He's a god, he's a man
He's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
Through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
Is a red right hand



You don't have no money?
He'll get you some
You don't have no car?
He'll get you one
You don't have no self-respect
You feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy
'Cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
And the Bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
Red right hand






 
 
You'll see him in your nightmares
You'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
He ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head
On the TV screen
Hey buddy, I'm warning
You to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god
He's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
His red right hand





 
Red Right Hand: Mick Harvey / Nicholas Edward Cave / Thomas Wydler, 1994

What if the breath that kindled those grim fires,
Awaked, should blow them into sevenfold rage,
And plunge us in the flames; or from above
Should intermitted vengeance arm again
His red right hand to plague us?

 
John Milton (1608-1674): Paradise Lost (1666), II,170-174

Attendance. Kenya, 2017. The make of democracy. It's going to be a long day. Waiting. Kenyans look at a television screen in the streets of Dagoretti South waiting for the official announcement of the results in the presidential election. There is a sense of excitement here, a tense excitement for things to come. After a beautiful exercise of democracy on Election Day, with tension and confrontations immediately contained to few districts of Nairobi and of Kisumu on the shores of Lake Victoria, Kenyans now hold their breath. Proceedings are likely to go on till the evening. #photojournalism #documentary #africa #kenya #bw #reportage #afp: image via Marco Longari @mlongari, 11 August 2017


Attendance. Kenya, 2017. The make of democracy. It's going to be a long day. Official results will be finally announced later today, the Electoral Commission will deliver his conclusion to the Kenyan people. Opposition leaders, the President will make their announcements. Election Day has been a beautiful example of participation, active democracy. Citizens hold their breath, we all are. Tension is palpable but the incidents are contained to few areas. They could have spread like wildfire after the first day but they didn't. Mathare, where this picture was taken is one of those. #photojournalism #documentary #africa #kenya #bw #reportage #afp: image via Marco Longari @mlongari, 11 August 2017
