   My first deck was a Heat Zone by Nash about 8 or 9 years ago—now that was a crappy skateboard. ☯93MAY

   I had a Nash Nightmare.

   It was a crappy skateboard.

5. 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 Mamma O Mamma

   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 Mamma O Mamma

   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 Mamma O Mamma

   He rushed inside to tell his wife
   He went racing down the halls
   Eurydice was still asleep in bed
   Like a sack of cannonballs
   O Mamma O Mamma

   Look what I’ve made, cried Orpheus
   And he plucked a gentle note
   Eurydice’s eyes popped from their sockets
   And her tongue burst through her throat
   O Mamma O Mamma

   O God, what have I done, he said
   As her blood pooled in the sheets
   But in his heart he felt a bliss
   With which nothing could compete
   O Mamma O Mamma

   Orpheus went leaping through the fields
   Strumming as hard as he did please
   Birdies detonated in the sky
   Bunnies dashed their brains out on the trees
   O Mamma O Mamma

   Orpheus strummed till his fingers bled
   He hit a G minor 7
   He woke up God from a deep, deep sleep
   God was a major player in heaven
   O Mamma O Mamma

   God picked up a giant hammer
   And He threw it with an thunderous yell
   It smashed down hard on Orpheus’ head
   And knocked him down a well
   O Mamma O Mamma

   The well went down very deep
   Very deep went down the well
   The well went down so very deep
   Well, the well went down to hell
   O Mamma O Mamma

   Poor Orpheus woke up with a start
   All amongst the rotting dead
   His lyre tacked safe under his arm
   His brains all down his head
   O Mamma O Mamma

   Eurydice appeared brindled in blood
   And she said to Orpheus
   If you play that fucking thing down here
   I’ll stick it up your orifice!
   O Mamma O Mamma

   This lyre lark is for the birds, said Orpheus
   It’s enough to send you bats
   Let’s stay down here, Eurydice, dear
   And we’ll have a bunch of screaming brats
   O Mamma O Mamma

   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 Mamma

   O Mamma O Mamma
   O Mamma O Mamma

   — Nick Cave is amazing.
