I might have gone with Present Tense had it not been a version in which he says “all enfucking trip.”

any version of footsteps with the harmonica is NOT the best version of footsteps in my book.

party foul!

this version is WAY better (and probably not even close to the best from this era):

I can't argue with your logic. My pick and reasoning behind it still stands.

I hate when he does that too, wease. It’s the worst. Still, love the outro better than anything in Footsteps.

I know it's become a bit of an RM meme but I'm not convinced Ed's has ever sung "all enfucking trip" (OK, maybe by accident); he simply changes the lyric to "whole big fucking trip".

Anyway, Present Tense.
