I think it's a leopard. Without blind spots in it's eyes.

I'll be screen printing that leopard design on a t-shirt. You're lucky to have that vinyl; Wire's singles are all out of print now.

Early Wire singles were notoriously short. I heard that the record company would only issue this as a single if it was longer - hence the piano break! This is an absolutely brilliant song - always cheers me up. So much so, I've asked my wife to play it at my funeral!

One of the more beautiful songs in Wire's discography. Damn I wish I could have been around to hear it for the first time, instead I'm stuck hearing it on 'On Returning' 30 years after it was made.

The long version was the one from the 7"; it's on the compilation album "On Returning". The short one is on "Chairs Missing". Have to say that I prefer the short one; like all the songs on "Pink Flag" it goes for as long as there are words, and then it stops. That's long enough.

I can't remember. I thought it was the single. I have the original white vinyl and that has long piano on it from what I can remember.
