The Sick Bag Song is written in the same trajectory as Nick Cave's 22-city tour of North America. It features a compilation of 22 reproductions of sick bags graffitied in fragmentary scribbles regarding his interactions. Each destination, from Nashville to Montreal, is introduced by an image of each city’s unique sick bag, followed by observations and sketches by Cave, who handwrote the book directly onto them.
The book was designed by Pentagram who present the navy blue design as being "inspired by the visual language of airlines and blue chip corporate America."
