"Nick Cave has been accused of plagiarising a track by a little-known Scottish band. Frankie Duffy, a 29-year-old musician from Dundee, claims that Cave&amp;#039;s band Grinderman lifted significant parts of their track &amp;#039;Palaces Of Montezuma&amp;#039; from a song by Duffy&amp;#039;s defunct group called &amp;#039;Grey Man&amp;#039;. Duffy told Fife&amp;#039;s Courier newspaper: &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t help thinking that Nick Cave was sitting in his house one night and decided to surf some unsigned bands and saw our site, saw we were split up and thought, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ll have that track, nobody will ever know&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;I couldn&amp;#039;t believe it when I heard that track. It stood out a mile - it&amp;#039;s exactly the same chords and the same hook as the intro to &amp;#039;Grey Man&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;On the Grinderman album you can hear the band talking and you can hear the words &amp;#039;grey man&amp;#039; being said, so maybe it&amp;#039;s not as much of a coincidence after all.&amp;quot; Cave has denied the allegations, telling the crowd at a concert last week: &amp;quot;You may have read that some 17-year-old kid in Dundee is trying to sue me and is claiming to have written this song. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s funny, because I wrote it for my wife.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
