with different words
It was first played in Reading on 21 February 1994, with early lyrics that are not the ones on the record. It came out on the first of the two “My Iron Lung” CD singles, and reviewers grouped it with “Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong” as the strongest of that batch, noisy in a way that pointed at Sonic Youth.
1997–98
back in the set
B-sides from that era mostly disappeared. This one returned during the OK Computer tours: five of its nine recorded performances are from 1998, the last in New York on 18 April 1998.
