I actually think the chorus is really effective. Shame about the awful verses.

Which is basically the gist of the song, so it's a shame he didn't take that attitude before writing the lyrics. Fantastic music though so it still just about works.

I hope that those lyrics are a spur of the moment substitution for the scathing, caustic, cutting original lyric;
that they were frightened to put on the album, but that will surface at a later date. Kinda like the racist version of Get Back.

You know, people point at Autumnsong and criticise the lyrics Nicky wrote on that, but SYMM is far, far worse than anything from SATT.
