Can't believe this version leaves out the bit where Sarah mutters "I was the little girl who liked to snog your face" One of the best bits of the song!
It's notable that even the "singles" collection "Too Young To Die" included the full-length version of the song, not this single edit. Which is a good thing, because this version is pretty hacked (even though the album wasn't doing quite what it said on the tin... well, not unless they released the full version as a 12" or something. Either way, guess they didn't like the edit either!)
I adore this song. i even wrote to saint etienne about how much i loved the song and bob from the group wrote back to me! This song should have done so much better...lack of promotion.
This is the first time I hear about Saint Etienne - and I'm glad I did! Excellent music !!
heart-stoppingly perfect.
bless each and every one.
fantastic album,,,,i love st etienne
classic. St Etienne were one of the most underated bands of all time, no question. ;)

good music...magical music lasts forever.
so many memories this brings back...been lookin for Calico from the same album but can't find it on here:(
τόοοοοσο γλυκό και νοσταλγικό ..
Massive Attack should've invited her along to feature on one of their tracks, now that would've been awesome!
p.s. the extended version is on their greatest hits which has some really nice strange haunting extra bits

@Ianesque what are they from devon on cornwall are they liky depeche mode anyway they are good
In full and complete agreement, it is a travesty to shorten this song by a second. If pop songs go to heaven, they sound like this...
There IS a 12" single for Avenue, with the unedited version. I own a copy ;*)

Indeed. It reached no 40!! Where's the justice in that?!
more powerful than heavy metal
may be
Sarah should go solo, sure she would make it.
