And I like the verse melodies a lot. It seems too short to be that offensive. And has a very unexpected bridge/solo which is interesting to me.

Yeah, that's probably not too crazily far off. I wrote the riffs. The verses are what I wrote last. The original arrangement was overly complex. When I first heard Ed start singing it, I thought it had this Ramones or Springsteen thing going on. It feels very New York.

i like a fair bit of LTRP - the only redeemable thing about this song is the out of place bridge

fair
I remember thinking LTRP was attempting a Marc Bolan / T-Rex type swagger, and that's cool; I just don't think PJ are glitter-queer enough to pull that off properly

Stone's quote from the Billboard Q&A around the time of release was interesting:Yeah, that's probably not too crazily far off. I wrote the riffs. The verses are what I wrote last.

Would be curious to hear that original arrangement, surely more interesting than what we ended up with.

Yeah, I'd be very interested to hear that.
