A far cry from The Incredible String Band's _Blues for the Muse_
("They say it's all butterflies, / don't let your dreams get in your
eyes, / but Orpheus made the sun rise / 'cos he knew how to play...")
This however gets major bonus points for rhyming "Orpheus" with "orifice":

You really have to hear the music as well, although not everyone will
want to (a reviewer in the NME once compared Nick Cave's voice to the
taste of Brussels sprouts: some people like it, others would rather
swill sewage. But while it's certainly a rough and dirty sound he's
making these days, it's nowhere near as plain unbearable as the noise
he used to make with the Birthday Party).
