The streets are so empty at this time of night I'd rather walk on my own than fight In a world where I'd forgotten you I found myself forgotten, too That's the danger of believing books And all the lies of those thieves and crooks We sing intellectual songs of love From a stolen pen to a velvet glove.
brilliant
i has to think four times about this one. i went with as it is when it was. that is truly a top song.
i think these songs are equal but the recording of AIIWIW is not impressive. I took live performances for me to get into it. Regret by a hair.

Gotta say I have always preferred As It Is....live or on Brotherhood...one of Brotherhood's best songs actually...music good, lyrics very good. Regret-good intro back for the band 4 years after Technique, remixes or not...getting a bit boring in the live sets though...

see it the other way 'round. As It Is - don't feel feel anything , state of grace , the no pain and feel no joy to
Regret. Remixed glory, excellent camp. on this occasion.. may have a few regrets but not w/ this tune.
AIIWIW. At least it's not the best ever adult contemporary pop song masquerading as an indie dance track that Regret is.
