One of my favorite parts of the song is the complete simplicity of it. Someone's playing a bass organ, and someone is playing an accordion. Those clicks you hear in the song are the accordion buttons, meaning they are probably doing this song completely live, completely unprepared except for a basic tune and some of the most true, straight from the heart poetry Cave has ever written. One of his best, and one of the few love songs I can think of in this era that have any meaning behind them at all.
