@lovebug112484 I think they changed them to make the song more serious, and less humorous. Just my guess though, since they've never actually said why.
@lovebug112484 because songs are organic, you start by fitting them into the melody, then your ego kicks in cos you know that some point in the future, people like us will ananlyse them. then you find the words you really wanted to say from the start.......and it comes full circle...and makes sense to the writer and the listener. even this version is all Steve's voice, emotion completes it................or some sort of bollox like that
I'd like to see the lyrics from this version. Mc

I recorded this concert off the radio when I was 13. Always loved this song and especially this version. Thanks for sharing it!!

It's one of my favorite songs, but I have to admit that I like the slower version a lot better...

Steven Page and the Ladies. Better than the sum of their parts. Miss them....

Gotta love the Gordon era early 90s BNL. This is right up there with their stuff from "On the Mountain".

This sounds like it was much more personal than the studio version. Fantastic though I have listened to this song for years and love it.

This is incredible! It's quirkier than the studio version, and crazily energetic! This is still with Andy, right?
