... without mentioning the B&S connection. An excerpt from the liner notes
of the incredibly marvellous _Ostrich Churchyard_ album by Orange Juice is
called upon ...

"In a nutshell ... included here for the very first time is this version of
the ballad presented to Nico with a view to a collaboration. Unfortunately
this was not to be. She would later tell the New Musical Express: 'Some
Orange Juice isn't bad but I don't like the people at all.'"

Thus far, I've only heard about one band covering "(To put it in a)
Nutshell" with a female vocalist and thereby pursueing the original purpose ...

And also on the unjust fella
But more upon the just because 
The unjust steals the just's umbrella
