Jim Bob: "Oh yeah (looking at the lyric sheet), I remember writing this one. Yeh, I think it's one of those confused songs that starts out about one thing and then turns into something else and then something else." Interviewer: Sounds to me like you lost the plot halfway through. Jim Bob: "Yeah, it does sort of go off at tangents a bit. I mean, it's like, y'know, the first half really is just like a love song, it's someone basically asking someone to come home; you know, they're at home and the other person is off shagging around . . . And then in the middle for some reason it goes into this, er... " Interviewer: What do you mean "for some reason"? You wrote the blighter didn't You? Jimbob carries on, hesitant and oblivious, Jim Bob: "... this big piece, right, of me being . . . well it just goes a bit weird on me. I don't really understand it. There's sort of a great feeling of optimism and then the end of it is just an obituary of people who've died of AIDS." |

| Direct Jim Bob quote "The Only Living Boy was I believe about watching all your friends die from what Prince called ‘a big disease with a little name.’ The title is a play on words nicked from the Simon & Garfunkel song ‘The Only Living Boy In New York’." | |
