I listened to Nick Cave's The Boatman's Call album and that song Bring It On after seeing that one ask about it and WOW the accuracy is astounding, especially Far From Me.

Oh yeah!! That song and Lime Tree Arbor are kind of perfect.

The whole album was pretty much Nick Cave’s eulogy for his brief relationship with PJ Harvey, and you can see it in West Country Girl.

The final lyrics are “west country girl with a big fat cat/ looks into her eyes of green/ and meows he loves you and meows again”, which doesn’t make sense with the lyrics, but if you use the original lyrics: “west country girl with a big fat cat/ looks into her eyes of green/ and meows he loves you Polly Jean” it makes a whole lot more sense.

He did the original lyrics live a couple of times, right before he finally stopped the downward slide into an inevitable overdose and went to rehab.

Not that I am a huge obsessey Nick Cave fan or anything.
