Cover Versions
Swedish rock band Weeping Willows used to finish their concerts with this song, the musicians leaving the stage one by one during the extended outro until the keyboardist was left on stage. As with most of their covers the song was not recorded for release.
Grant-Lee Phillips covered this song for his 1980s covers album Nineteeneighties.
Alternative band Low also covered the song, initially as a single, and later included it on their A Lifetime of Temporary Relief: 10 Years of B-Sides and Rarities. In the booklet, the band describes it as "another cover that some may sneer at. After this, nothing is sacred".
A cover by Eurythmics appears on the 2005 "Deluxe Edition Reissue" of their 1989 album We Too Are One. A bootleg copy of the band performing the song live during their Peace tour was circulated on internet filesharing networks in the early 2000s, although the studio version was recorded in 2004.
André 3000 from OutKast once stated that he wished he had written this song.
Jann Arden also covered the song on her album, Uncover Me 2.

Famous quotes containing the words cover and/or versions:
“There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers’ battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain’s tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
