For years Tam and Hannah have been trying to make me understand the wonders of Nick Cave. But me, being so numbed by Zepplin I stuck on repeat in the car's CD player, was unable to hear them. Then, as fate would have it, I was driving out to meet my brother, and Nick Cave was in the CD player, so I took a listen. It would seem, once again, they were right, and It took a crow bar to wrench my tiny little brain out of its small hole of comfortable sameness.

    Well-meaning little therapists
    Goose-stepping twelve-stepping Tetotalitarianists
    The tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissed
    We got no time for that stuff here
    Zero crime and no fear
    We've bred all our kittens white
    So you can see them in the night
    And at night we're on our knees
    As quiet as a mouse
    Since the word got out
    From the North down to the South
    For no-one's left in doubt
    There's no fear about
    If we all hold hands and very quietly shout
    Hallelujah
    God is in the house
    God is in the house
    Oh I wish He would come out
    God is in the house
For years Tam and June 9, 2003
