I adore this song. i even wrote to saint etienne about how much i loved the song and bob from the group wrote back to me! This song should have done so much better...lack of promotion.
Can't believe this version leaves out the bit where Sarah mutters "I was the little girl who liked to snog your face" One of the best bits of the song!
This is my favourite song ever. I can't believe how much it got massacred for the single release. The best part of the song is missing-from "For your savage amusement you put a spell on me, well, it smells like lemon flavour" onwards...
It's notable that even the "singles" collection "Too Young To Die" included the full-length version of the song, not this single edit.
Which is a good thing, because this version is pretty hacked (even though the album wasn't doing quite what it said on the tin... well, not unless they released the full version as a 12" or something. Either way, guess they didn't like the edit either!)
p.s. the extended version is on their greatest hits which has some really nice strange haunting extra bits

The little girl in the video is Sarah. She is on the cover of So Tough too.
Loved St Etienne so much.

Massive Attack should've invited her along to feature on one of their tracks, now that would've been awesome!

In full and complete agreement, it is a travesty to shorten this song by a second. If pop songs go to heaven, they sound like this...

There IS a 12" single for Avenue, with the unedited version. I own a copy ;*)
