I keep the poker face so well



I was 16 when I first heard this song. It reminds me of 2am, sharing a cigarette with a black haired blue eyed boy on his lounge room floor.

Actually, it wasn't the first time I had heard it. The very first time I heard it was I curled up in a beanbag flicking through the music collection of a friend. She had a Boys Next Door album. Back when music was still made on Vinyl and Nick Cave was quintessential Goth boy pretty.

But this 2am time, with the black haired blue eyed boy, it was the first time I had heard THIS cover of it. And since then, this is the only cover that will do.
