Best song on the album, though competition for that award is rather thin on the ground.
Studio version obviously suffers from the lightweight production on Thirsty Work, and I thought a live version would give the track a bit more oomph and energy and elevate it somewhat. But listening to that, it hasn't really happened.
Think there is a decent song in there, but they haven't captured it, either in the studio, or live, to my ears.

The intro guitar riff is like a riff that's had half its body chopped off - needs to go somewhere interesting, but just stops short and repeats. It fits with the melody in the verses, but it's just a bit lame.
Still, it is one of the better choruses on the album, but what's with those overbearing thuds on the drums in the last couple of choruses on the studio version?

The opening bars remind me a little of Gonna Teach You To Love Me. At least in structure. Another short lived live track.
