Wikipedia article__NOTOC__ "'Loverman'" is the second single from the album 'Let Love In' by Australian rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The song was also performed by American heavy metal band Metallica on their 1998 cover album 'Garage Inc.' and Depeche Mode's Martin Gore in his 2003 solo album 'Counterfeit'. DetailsCave said, ""Loverman" was a song we almost didn't do because it seemed like a very weak idea at the time of recording. It was supposed to be just a throwaway song about desire. I was squirming about how banal it was. I changed the whole atmosphere, so the guy who's the telling the story is weak and dysfunctional. I put in the bits where I spell out loverman. It was a great surprise to everyone."
