i didn't think of it at all being about Richey when i first heard the song etc, and if they say so...they aren't the type of band that would 'milk' like that, no?!
but who knows...

no they'd be more subtle methinks. Calling it walk me to the bridge when it's possible/probable ? he threw himself off one would be a little crass

Now if it was "Drive Me To The Service Station By The Bridge And Leave My Car There" it might be about Richey!

I'm not sure I think it's consciously all about Richey, but I think he'd have to be pretty naive to not realise most people would think that, especially since it's not like he hasn't written a lot about richey regularly.

Not even the top 200? I thought it'd be charting the week 29th June-6th July anyway? (i.e. when it's actually released).

Oh, I thought it was available now, maybe it was just the video then. Surprised they've not even released a limited edition vinyl. Oh well.

We can't know if it is about Richey but Nicky surely knew that people would have linked the lyrics to him. That's quite obvious I think.
