We saw Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds last night at the Roseland Ballroom. Fantastic! We decided that Nick Cave is an amalgamation of Ichabod Crane, the Grinch, and a dash of Dean Martin for good measure.

More lyrics simply 'cause they're great:

Hallelujah

Now, you might think it wise to risk it all
Throw caution to the reckless wind
But with her hot cocoa and her medication
My nurse had been my one salvation
So I turned back home
I turned back home I turned back home
Singing my song

...

Darker With The Day

And in my best shoes I started falling forward down the street
I stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd
And love followed just behind me, panting at my feet
As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud
