No, the original is much better. WAY better. Not that this is bad, I like it. But I will now be signing off to listen to the original.

What an excellent and totally different version of a song I wouldn’t have believed would work this way. But then I would never have thought David Grey would get away with singing Soft Cell.

Beautiful and so real. I've never heard the original, and doubt I'd like it better.

Don't like cover versions...though she's got an interesting voice.

Likeable anyway...

I prefer the original, myself!

great original - great cover!

looking at the cover she does have the same hairstyle as David Gilmour!

I'm not much for negative comments, but blech.

I imagine this will be played on an endless loop in the gift shop at CBGB's - Las Vegas.

I'm afraid I disagree. This version catches the feeling of the original. Shelley's song is about the pain of naturally falling in love with someone who can never return that love, because they are not gay. ("We can't stay together much longer; Unless we realize that we are the same")It's not angst; it's pain.

Yorn's and FYC's version never captured that. This version is beautiful! Three covers exist for one Buzzcocks song? Why not "Everybody's Happy Nowadays"?

C'mon Bill - got to play the original by the Buzzcocks - this just lacks energy, emotion, life .....

Whoa, scary moment there. I wasn't looking at the screen and thought Bill introduced this as David Gilmour. Phew!

That said,

Very listenable, a la Smells Like Teen Spirit from Tori Amos. A nice pause, but the original is the way it's meant to be.

I wish I could give this negative ratings. It's flat lounge music. And it's a cover. So that leaves nothing on her part.

But I do like the original, a lot.

Yeah, was covered by Pete Yorn on the Shrek 2 soundtrack. Not a bad cover.

I'd prefer to hear the buzzcocks version, too. But I fear RP are scared of playing loud rock songs?

Nice, but reminds me of Margot from Cowboy Junkies

I loved this song.. I can NOT find the lyrics anywhere!!! Anyone have any ideas!!??!!

Just bumped my rating up from 6 to 9 because

a) it is a Buzzcocks song
b) hadn't heard it for a while here and spontaneously went, "Yeah!" when it came on.. that must be some kind of litmus test.

hm...

would much prefer Buzzcocks, but i suppose this isn't terrible.

I still like this version. Also, I didn't notice till today, on her album cover there seems to be a copy of a Nick Drake album...

That would be cool. Does RP play it?

I love her voice. Reminds me of Bird York. I also like another tune by her that RP used to play often called " Pirate Moon". Very nice.

Damn - thought we were gonna get the Buzzcocks version.
