Album Abattoir Blues, The Lyre of Orpheus. The Lyre of Orpheus Lyrics. Orpheus sat gloomy in his garden shed Wondering what to do With a lump of wood, a piece of wire And a little pot of glue O Mama O Mama. He sawed at the wood with half a heart And glued it top to bottom He strung a wire in between He was feeling something rotten O Mama O Mama. Orpheus looked at his instrument And he gave the wire a pluck He heard a sound so beautiful He gasped and said O my God O Mama O Mama. Orpheus picked up his lyre for the last time He was on a real low down bummer And stared deep into the abyss and said This one is for Mama O Mama O Mama O Mama O Mama O Mama O Mama O Mama O Mama O Mama O Mama O Mama O Mama.

Nick Cave's familiar face appeared on the front page of the Brighton Argus, wearing an expression of glowering discomfort. Perhaps he had been warned in advance of the accompanying headline: Rock King Cave Backs West Pier "Jungle" Bid. The 46-year-old singer was throwing his lanky frame behind a plan to grow "hardy plants" around the rusted steel structure: "It's a gamble, but an exciting one - something the community could watch evolve. Less than 18 months later, Cave has returned with a double album, recorded without long-term Bad Seeds guitarist Blixa Bargeld, and broadly split by mood - Abbatoir Blues is snarling and bilious, The Lyre of Orpheus gentler in tone. Bargeld's departure seems to have shaken Cave and his cohorts in the best way imaginable. The Bad Seeds sounded reined in on Nocturama, a waste of perhaps the most distinctive backing band in rock.

In the wake of longtime Bad Seeds member Blixa Bargeld's departure, Nick Cave issues this double album- its halves ostensibly split between quiet and more chaotic material- on which he further explores human nature's dichotomous penchants for piety and depravity. And it sure seems as though he slams the door on the notion of art saving the world on The Lyre of Orpheus's title track. In Cave's sardonic, tedious rewrite of the Greek myth, the music created by Orpheus' instrument spreads across the Earth like a murderous pestilence until God gets pissed and throws him down into hell where Eurydice threatens to shove the lyre up Orpheus' "orifice. Unfortunately, this song sounds no better than it looks on paper.

Poor Orpheus woke up with a start All amongst the rotting dead His lyre tucked safe under his arm His brains all down his head Oh mama, oh mama. Eurydice appeared brindled in blood She said to Orpheus "If you play that fucking thing down here I'll stick it up your orifice!" Oh mama, oh mama. This lyre lark is for the birds," said Orpheus "It's enough to send you bats Let's stay down here, Eurydice, dear We'll have a bunch of screaming brats" Oh mama, oh mama.
