How do you mean it has a different text?  Different lyrics?  And was Yeah Definitely only on the US version?

Are they the only two tracks that differ from the UK release?

Huh, I didn't realize he'd changed "A Hole to Fill" lyrics for the US version...!


Kinda makes me mad.  Kinda makes me want to get the other version - the original (right?) one.


Like, those Americanized "Dave/Rain" and "Drag Me Down" tracks....shudder.  Pisses me off - the originals are so much better...


But yes - the first verse of Hole To Fill, British (according to the German Geldof site, http://bobgeldof.de/texte.php?l=1&song=holeto):


You wake up
Time stops
Pretty soon the penny's gong to drop
There's a daytime
And there's a night sky
And you think there's something wrong
But you don't know why
Still you wake up
Dry your eyes
You feel the strength to carry on a while
And if there's one world and there's one voice
You should hear them singing above the noise


versus the US version:


She wakes up


Still looking lost


And says what’s the point of this


And I say not a lot


Still she gets up


And through her weary smile


She tries to find the strength


To carry on a while


Two days ago


She wrote away


To a mail order guru


Her postal sage


Who promised answers


By return of mail


Explaining why


Sometimes it seems


The world has failed


He wrote back


I like the British lyrics better....'yeah, definitely.'


Interesting...
