The song was later covered by Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine on their 1992 – The Love Album, appearing on Disc 2 of the Deluxe edition, and the compilation album You Fat Bastard.

The second verse of this song was changed for the radio edit. The original lyrics for the first and third line were: "There's a funeral in the town" and "Seems they found him under a train" respectively. However, in the radio version, they are as follows: "Black car drives through the town" and "Left a note for a local girl." The edit was most likely made because the original version's lyrics were in reference to suicide.
