Written by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis.
Larry "Ratso" Sloman, after an impressive over forty year career as a writer, released his debut album Stubborn Heart in 2019, which featured a collaboration with his close friend Nick Cave, whose song with his band The Bad Seeds, "Skeleton Tree", Ratso was compelled to cover. Ratso says that "'Skeleton Tree' is a brilliant first attempt at coming to terms with the death of a son by his father, and I knew I had to incorporate the song into my set as some small gesture of love. We subsequently worked it up in the studio and I hope that my version does justice to Arthur Cave’s indomitable spirit."

Lyrics:
Sunday morning, skeleton tree
Oh, nothing is for free
In the window, a candle
Well, maybe you can see
Fallen leaves thrown across the sky
A jittery TV
Glowing white like fire
Nothing is for free
I called out, I called out
Right across the sea
But the echo comes back empty
And nothing is for free
Sunday morning, skeleton tree
Pressed against the sky
The jittery TV
Glowing white like fire
And I called out, I called out
Right across the sea
I called out, I called out
That nothing is for free
And it's alright now
And it's alright now
And it's alright now...
