I don't think it can have anything to do with reducing the length of the song as cutting this only reduces the song by about 20 seconds. Perhaps he has received an honorary doctorate from Harvard or Yale and doesn't want to appear to be dissing them? It slightly spoils the performance to me as I love the lyrics to the song and this verse leads beautifully into the last one. Also- has anyone recorded Phil Manzanera's radio shows? I've missed them all and would dearly love to hear them. Loads of things to trade for nayone who can help me.

So I thought I'd offer up some opinions and questions for people to ignore, agree or disagree with. 1. Ferry sings BETTER now than ever. (did you notice sonnet 18 getting votes as best vocal?) He doesn't get much credit on here for that, with people preferring tone deaf mutterings from the early seventies :) 2. I don't think he has written a song since Alphaville, except for maybe I Thought. 3. He is quite astonishingly good looking for any age never mind nearly 62. 4. His promotion and management appear to have improved. 5. Saw Katie in Hello mag with BF at Goodwood. Looking VERY like Lucy. Katie that is. Same hair. 6. I wish people would get off their a**ses at his concerts. Or that he played standing venues more often. 7. "I thought" is quite magnificent. A lost masterpiece. Second best harmonica solo as well. If that was on For Your Pleasure the prog rock fans would be raving about it. 8. Did he love Lucy and she him? 9. Why did only the Daily Mirror have to retract its Nazi nonsense? 10. This never ending tour which seems to have gone on from ATGB has been a great chance to see the best rock star perform live before he just cant do it anymore. He looks fit and healthy but that sort of schedule must knock hell out you in your sixties. 11. New Town is the best concert video ever - blowing the Roxy ones away. Especially his fisog when Michelle Cobb makes a hash of a high note in the title track. 12. He should try to write more with Brian Eno - stops him being too mainstream. 13. His performance of LST at the Fashion Rocks event a few years back was the coolest I have ever seen. If anyone has this please contact me off list. 14. His sleeve covers have been rather naff since Taxi. 15. Taxi was largely rubbish. 16. How much is he worth now after his divorce settlement? 17. That Cruel Ships captain thing is pretty good. 18. Whats happened about this Carlsberg commercial thing? Bonus Comments 19. I wish I could bump into Bryan as often as Jocelyn. 20. He still has a number one single and album in him.
