| Hermans Hermits – No Milk Today Lyrics | 16 years ago |

This is how I read the song : The narrator is a milkman, who used to deliver milk at the girl's house. They used to have a love affair, and drink milk together. Yet, one day, he finds the girl has left the house (either because she moved out or because she died --> possible interpretation due to the word "shrine" ???), so he is no longer drinking milk with her as he delivers the milk and the bottles are left unopened. |

In Nick Cave's song, it reaches a mystical dimension, whereas Morissette's song is more on the personal level, to me... |
