also I think Franz Ferdinand did a better job with All My Friends and LCD Soundsystem’s best is Someone Great

Oh no, no no no; although it might take the shape of a courtship fantasy with a young thing in the audience, this song comes from married life, or monogamy of some sort; the opening statement is about resisting temptation while performing (I must above all things …) and then begins his fantasy of pursuing the young audience member; yet soon, in the song, the complaints are in the present tense – “She just never wants to.”

A single guy, even on bound by an infatuation, can move on to a willing partner/audience memeber with much less consequence (and, thus, blues). What’s so funny here, and what makes Cave able to pull this off, is that his last album was full of gorgeous love songs that you would think would make any woman, back home, get naked just by listening to them. And still, ’she just doesn’t want to’ sometimes. As is her historical prerogative.

Bluesmen were haunted by monogamy’s battle with infidelity. That’s where this comes from. Cave is a Lightnin’ Hopkins fanatic. Always was.

It seems like the constant need for brevity has a neutering effect
of its own here, and if you’re able to loosen the reins, up the word
count, and still keep the quality as evident as it is above, I’d
happily read longer posts.
