Had a northern lad
Not exactly had
He moved like the sunset god who painted that
First he loved my accent
How his knees could bent
I thought we'd be okay
Me and my molasses
But I feel something is wrong
But I feel this cake just isn't done
And don't say that you don't
You don't show much these days
It get's so fuckin cold
I loved his secret places
But I can't go anymore
"You change like sugar cane", sayes my northern lad
Well I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars
I feel the west in you
But I, I feel it falling apart too
And don't say that you don't
And if you could see me now
Said if you could see me now
Girls you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When your only wet, because of the rain
Because of the rain (x2)
Because of the rain
Not exactly had
He moved like the sunset god who painted that
First he loved my accent
How his knees could bent
I thought we'd be okay
Me and my molasses
But I feel something is wrong
But I feel this cake just isn't done
And don't say that you don't
You don't show much these days
It get's so fuckin cold
I loved his secret places
But I can't go anymore
"You change like sugar cane", sayes my northern lad
Well I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars
I feel the west in you
But I, I feel it falling apart too
And don't say that you don't
And if you could see me now
Said if you could see me now
Girls you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When your only wet, because of the rain
Because of the rain (x2)
Because of the rain

The song is not about any of them. It's about a man she met at a lounge she performed at in LA " I can feel the West in you". The story goes that he came often to visit her and on one occasion worked with her on a lyric to another song with the word " west" in it. Thus the capital W. Their friendsship began to blossom into something more apparently.She also wrote China about him and Eric. They had a falling out because she couldn't choose between them.And then he dissappeared. " He moved like the sunset". So she had a northern lad but not exactly had. He was from Ohio or Illinois and I think also Mexico. Then years later I was told by a friend close to the source that he did a fictional article for a fetish magazine that included several drawings about fetish hookers. One of them was a caricature of Tori as a leather Rock Star . The song Hey Jupiter may also be about the discovery of this article. I am told that his star sign was Jupiter. He pictured her playing a guitar. Thus the lyric " you go too far when pianos try to be guitars". and " I loved his secret places". How very strange and intriguing. Apparently she was quite taken by this man.
