Great cover of one of my favourite songs. You sang it with feeling, as it should be sang..."and a wound that will never heal"...I think everyone has one of those, if you haven't, you aint lived!! God bless
Thanx for the comment, but this is the Rod Stewart version which is definitely "I've got what I've paid for now". I've listened again to Tom's original and I can't find God in that one either!
@beatlesforever997 Ok I was wrong. I have a live recording where it really sounds like "God what I paid for now". The studio and other versions it is clear its "got what I paid for now".
also i would love to hear Rhythm of my Heart or Motown Song cover since nobody on youtube has done those and they are his two best i think! i know theyre not depressing, but im sure you could pull it off :D keep it up
I like this version and your voice

Nice cover, mate.
But I also have to say, Holy shit! You look like you could be Jemaine Clement's brother. The likeness is uncanny!

You need a mouthfull of gravel to sing it like Tom (who did write it in the 70's)

Yikes, you can't beat a good old self-indulgent depression song, can you. It's great and this is a great version of it. Thanks for posting.

I was gonna sing that one too. I found a playback and by coincidence your great rendition. Wonderful. Very emotional.
I loved it. Keep it up. Cheers. André :-)
