<P> `` Joey '' is the ninth track from Concrete Blonde 's third and most successful album Bloodletting . The song was released in 1990 and was written and sung by Johnette Napolitano . One interpretation is that the song is about a photographer ( Joey Mas ) who is in love with alcohol . Napolitano mentioned in her book Rough Mix that the song was written about her relationship with Marc Moreland of the band Wall of Voodoo ( who would eventually die of kidney failure following a liver transplant ) . The song was written in a cab on the way to a photo studio in Philadelphia ; it was the last vocal recorded on the album due to Napolitano 's reluctance to record the lyrics , which were hard for her to deal with . </P>
