He replaced the quiet New York take with a harder full-band version cut in Minneapolis.
The words
A bitter, furious outpouring at a former lover and the gossip around them, which finally turns back on himself.
A man lashes out at a former lover and at the rumours and lies that have swirled around them. The verses heap up bitter accusations, wild images and jabs at the people spreading stories, with a chorus that names her as the source of all the foolishness. In the final chorus he turns the charge on both of them, admitting his own share of the blame. The released version is the harder full-band take cut in Minneapolis, loud and full of anger.
