Momus. One of my all-time favourite tracks.

Just find James's voice too earnest and passionate and Springsteeny for the lyric, not something I've ever said before but I'd have preferred to hear Nicky singing or 'singing' it. Also I don't like the little pc tweaks of the lyrics.

Just listened to the original for the first time, like the arrangement, although I'm afraid the lyrics are an insuperable barrier (although I got an A1 in French in my Leaving Cert).
