its actually quite a heavy song but the lyrics are so subtle and unforced...only lizzy cud do this type of song and get the mix right between heavy drums/guitar and understated(if thats the right word) vocals

such a classy band

Ho-lee-shit. The coolest band ever... every time I think my appreciation of them has peaked, I hear something else that jacks it up even higher. Awesome.

Awesome version!!

Great song

the way the lyrics flow out of phils mouth is amazing. I just listened to chinatown last night and I've realised it's one of the best albums lizzy ever did.

I agree with Korrayls totally. This also sounds tuned down a key or two and I noticed that this version sounds rather depressing for the type of song it is.

Great post! is it just me, or did he change the lyrics quite a bit here?
