There is a live version from the Rainbow Theatre, December 1978, which Bob introduces as a new song getting only its second airing. This can be easily found on YouTube. Song intro starts about 14 minutes in. Don't believe it was played live much so great to have it here for posterity.
I think some of the words of this live version are different.
Fascinatingly there is also a very good demo version which I heard years back and may still be available through contacts on this forum.
Well done to Mark for transcribing the lyrics, which can be found on the 2005 Surfacing CD reissue.

They are elsewhere on here, courtesy of Suss so hats off to him really, but the 2005 cd reissue lyrics did contain a couple of obvious errors/omissions which I tidied up. I always thought the line '' Swirl a stick around my head and look inside it's always black and brown" was "it's always blackened.. out" so this is possibly misheard lyrics. Or mistyped lyrics?
My apologies if I should have entered that in the current climate under the Misheard Lyrics thread, or begun a new thread of Mistyped Lyrics.
