Hmm... I know the bit you mean, but the tempo is about twice as fast, and it's
just a fairly standard walking bass line...  My take is that the "distinctive"
sound is just Alan's own style.  Also, I know that credits don't always count
for a lot on HW albums, but I'm surprised, if that is so, that "Lis" version 2
is credited to Brock alone and not Brock/Davey.

I mean, I can spot that Whigfield's "Saturday Night" is just "Fog on the
Tyne", and Elastica's "Waking Up" is "No More Heroes" (I think both of these
ended up paying royalties), but this one I just don't get.  If it weren't for
the titles, I don't think anyone would make the link.  It does recycle a lyric
from "25 Years", though!  (Live, I thought they were actually going to segue
into "25 Years", and I was a bit disappointed.)

Still, I'm glad I'm not the only one old-fashioned enough to think love and
sex are two different things :)
