Revised and updated by the superstar musician, The Complete Lyrics spans Nick Cave's career from The Birthday Party days through to his most recent work.

Cave has been described by a number of prominent music ciritics as one of the best lyricists in rock history, and the lyrics included here are undeniably powerful. Themes of death, religion, love and violence feature heavily, as do references to scripture.

With a foreword by Scottish writer Andrew O'Hagan, this will be an essential purchase for every devoted Cave fan.
