👍
Maybe not a household name, far more recognized in the UK than the U.S. One of the finest musicians and influential names of our contemporary music. He mostly played all instruments on all of WP's albums. He wasn't with us long enough.

First time I heard the song was watching the film Waking Ned Devine. It's a great movie. Worth watching!

I like this video, it has so many Lynchian elements in it.
RIP Karl.
Prior to creating (the incredibly under-rated) World Party, Karl performed with The Waterboys, if you recall "Fisherman's Blues". He also collaborated with everyone from David Bowie to Bob Geldof and Peter Gabriel
Meaning behind the Lyrics? Heh, you're on your own. Scroll to the comments at THIS LINK for ideas of what others think the lyrics mean.

I agree, now look at how weird it is that they leave the mention of sodom out of the lyrics [ True. The lyrics page negated that word for some reason. - DD ] written above. Line 5 after the verse that starts with avarice and greed. It really goes, "but I'm sure you'll fill your sodom like I knew you would."
There's also this interpretation of the lyrics at American Songwriter.
