Live Versions
The song, since before its initial release while the band was still called Discipline, has been a concert staple. The song's structure tends to change very little in the live setting, if at all. However, the recited lyrics, delivered by Adrian Belew, are often somewhat improvised both in order and sets of words used. Occasionally, Belew would comment on the words.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or versions:
“What is a slum?... it is something that mostly exists in the imaginations of middle-class do-gooders and bureaucrats: people who do not have to live in them in the first place and do not have to live in what they put up afterwards once they have pulled them all down. One person’s slum is another person’s community.”
—May Hobbs (b. 1938)
“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)
