Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus

This album is fantastic. I lent it to mum and mum hated it - what more do you need to know?

It's better than wanting a pizza and finding one in the freezer. It's better than asking for one kind of beer on someone else's round, their getting it wrong and bringing you a better one that you've never had before. It's better than comfy shoes.

It's better than that time that girl looked at you and thought about speaking to you before thinking better of it (so close). It's better than that day at school when no-one spat on you.

It's better than finding a quid.
