- Simon Nicol (of Fairport Convention) has recorded it on his album
- *Before Your Time* (Woodworm Records, UK). He does a decent version
- of the song, but for me it is not one of the highlights of this
- album (which is excellent). At least Simon's version doesn't have
- all the "God is watching us" claptrap. . . .
