Cover art for Today's Lesson lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

I'm not sure it means anything! A lot of the songs on the Lazarus album make no logical sense at all, unless it's dream logic. The Sandman is mentioned in 'Tupelo' & Cave has a song called 'Little Janey's Gone' - I suppose that might be relevant. As for that jawbone, well, Samson killed a load of Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. But how it all fits together is anybodys guess. Great song, tho', sounds very late Velvet Underground.
