The extra verse to Nick Cave's "Stagger Lee" go as follows:
"In come the devil,
Said, "I've come to take you down,
Mr. Stagger Lee,"
Well those were the last words that the Devil said,
'Cause Stag put four holes in his motherfucking head!"
-----
Incidentally, after hearing this song (and looking for other
versions of 'Stagger Lee' by other artists, back story and all),
I've come to use the 'stagger' as a unit of measurement for
badassitude. Basically, one stagger equals the amount of
badassitude it would take to kill a man over a $5 hat (or, in Mr.
Cave's telling of the story, simply being in the wrong place at the
wrong time).
The Stagger Lee takes the usual metric prefixes: millistagger
(blue-haired old ladies and newborn ducklings), centistagger (people
who listen to easy jazz and drink decaf), decistagger (most
people), decastagger (Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, and so on.
