20 years ago today...

I'd listened to this song enough times, but in the rather tame form on Desire...

On 5 May 1989 I was walking in the 2ème arrondissement by the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, during my pretty miserable year abroad, on a beautiful summer day, and I first really heard this song, and in this version... It starting with "I married Isis on the 5th day of May..." was pretty arresting on the day and obviously aids the memory...

And - here it is... Enjoy. Whatever life hurls at you, it's a great song. And this does morph into the live recording...
