Cover art for Bone China lyrics by Mother Love Bone

I also think "The girl from Shine" is a reference to the first album. Specifically, to Chloe from the song "Chloe Dancer".

I might be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that "the girl from Shine" is Chloe.

@taffydavenport Ah, yes, there you got it, I was into the same "answers".

@taffydavenport, I may actually be the person who wrote both the lyrics, "Chloe Dancer", and "Bone China". This was all the way back to a stay I had in Seattle in 1987, as well as in the music collective that Andrew (Andy) lived in. I was somewhat particularly interested in "Chloe", and may have probably referred to her in various contexts. As far as I remember, she also worked as a type of cafe waitress alongside her studies, sometimes also as a stripper. So it can also be fairly coherent with the texts.

@taffydavenport, Hey again, but the question is who is "Bone China"? Chloe is maybe reffered to in the text as "the girl from Shine", but who is "Bone China"? I try to remember that! Contemporary I have 2 possible candidates, it can be Xana, or another mysterious woman aquaintance from the "China quarters".
