Cover art for Jennifer's Veil lyrics by Birthday Party, The

For what it's worth, I think Jennifer was having an affair with the officer, and he's dead now, killed in the fire. She grieves for her true love, but can't show it...her betrothed doesn't understand, and the narrator, Cave, is trying to keep it that way. And "your baby" is Jennifer.

Amazing song from an amazing EP.
