The Lost Dogs version of this song is so clearly the best one. I'm honestly surprised people think it's the inferior version. Eddie's vocals are over the place and a bit ridiculous sounding on the original.

I think the best version is the unreleased Ten sessions recording, i.e. the one that formed the basis for the Lost Dogs version, but with the original 1991 vocals.

The updated lyrics suck tho.

The original released version on the Go single is the definitive version for me.

But they weren’t improved. If they were better the second go-round I’d have no problem other than the truncated second verse.

Wide awake like snakes in a panic

I always thought it was “wide awake and he shakes in a panic.” Huh.

And this song has aged horribly.

The snakes line is from the LD version. No idea why Ed would change it.
