Mr King refers to her old manager at a record company: "And then one day I woke up and I was in the real world, with a proper job (ok, not that proper, it was at a record company) working for Mr King. "
Mr Cave refers to: "The screenplay is by a certain Nick Cave, of whose work I have always been fond, and who also gets a name check in Mr King…"
To me, personally, this song is about growing up...the loss of innocence, the realization that the world is not always a happy place. ):
It's always struck a chord in me - I have a friend who was my "Mr King".
