LOVE...But to dare to interpret Pete's meaning of this song is insane. Not in a thousand yrs...

basically the idea is that he changes the story of the song to talk about what happens when there's a fallout and one of the only unaffected place is this bit of north country where this girl he knows lives. So he's hoping she's still there and he can just spend the rest of the end of the world with her.

Good cover but what's up with the goofy 'fall-out sprayed' lyric right at the end?

75% of this is ripped off from Bob Dylan's 'Girl of the North Country' - a far superior song in fact,

This is one great record. And Brzziaahhhh and Butler (rhthym section, Big Country) are so incredibly fantsastic. AND it holds up, if not gets even better.

In 1978 (February) I purchased Queen's "News of the World" and was stunned by the song 'All Dead'. I never recaptured that sense of dread until I first heard this tune. And those last few lines socked me in the gut. Artistry.
