Did they release the best version ?

[Steve Mc]

Now this is a bitch, I love them both.

The main differences I could pick up on the alternate is a piano solo
for the 2nd break, and this extra verse/line: "Well you were those
dresses, the sun comes shining through", which is one of my all-time
favorite lines.

Yes, they did.

But this is actually easily the best version.
