So hands up who skips the old crone when they play the album... personally I usually play it  I'd rather hear Mrs Scarrot on a 24-hour loop than listen to "When I See You Again" or something  |
I wish it weren't on the record for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it's a lousy poem. (Daft might be the right word.) And "Dust" is such an excellent, perfect song, that it should rightfully close that record.
But I agree with you: I'd rather hear "Thoughts" fifty times over "When I See You Again."
