Nick Laird Clowes should know about heroin addiction, having been addicted to it for years. As usual, Nick puts the Fall influence representing the end of Lucy's life, the bells fading, her story ending.
But I wonder if he wasn't really writing about himself. If so, it was a trick he learned from Nick Drake, a fellow songwriter (and HUGE influence) who often predicted his own lifeless future in his lyrics.
In future years, Nick would be wasted beyond recognition, hopelessly addicted to drugs, and wasting the fortunes he earned, losing his friends, his band, his future. Sad to say this album is where his story ended.. :(
