From Melbourne:

The band performed two encores, including the title track of Lyre of Orpheus, which Cave only successfully started on his third attempt, the second try aborted after a stray "woo!" came from the audience as he recited the opening line - "Orpheus sat gloomy (WOO!) in his garden shed".

"Shut up," barked Cave with a grin. The offender obeyed.
