Um... this song was released in 1981 in the UK before the PF ever toured America! Courtney love was a child in Portland and California. So, are you trying to say that somehow Richard Butler was hooking up with a minor 8,000 miles away? Maybe she later became a groupie but the song is not about her. |

Is anyone here a guitarist? When you hear the line "and all those batteries we stole from smoke-alarms" are you thinking what I am thinking? Whenever I need a 9 volt for an effects pedal where do I get it? ...A smoke alarm. I often wonder how many guitarist are at risk of burning up in a fire because their smoke alarms are always devoid of their 9 volt batteries for the sake of music. |

| This 'song' just proves that JSK is really a poet with a guitar. Much more interesting than a guitarist with some lyrics. | |

Oh how interesting. Thanks for the link to wiki. How barbaric of an experiment. Why do you think JKS is so obcessed with medicine? |

When I opened the album last fall and saw the title to this one and it took my breath away....then played that song first. Isn't it so amazing that JKS made so many people love a cat they never even met. Everyone feels like they lost their own cat. That is artistry. |

I am completely with Kviii here. I have noticed for years that there are so many references to illness, diagnosis, hospitals, nurses and losing someone. All the way from Fallow to the current album. "the doctors play your dosage like a card trick" "tell the nurse to turn the tv back on". There are so many. Yes, Sampson mentions the Hopper paintings at shows.. and who is to say but I do feel like the I feel like he is using the painting as a metaphor for someone who is no longer with him. Has anyone heard his wife's music Christine Fellows? She has many similar references to hospitals and such. Both of their 'poetry' is just amazingly sweet and so well written. That last line of NW is so moving. I guess that is why he sings it twice. |
