Subject: Senses Working Overtime - Why Two Versions?

I happened to be listening to a local radio station that was playing "Senses
Working Overtime," and heard a different version of the song from the one I
have on my CD, "Compact XTC: The Singles, 1978-1985."

The version I heard had the line "And busses might skid on black ice" and
also extended the music a bit in the section just before the last "And all
the world is football shaped..." What gives? Why would anyone edit out
the part about the busses?

Another question regarding "The Big Express" song (is it?) "Shake You
Donkey Up": "She really shake you donkey up!" Did Andy coin this expression?

Question on books about XTC. Any in print yet? Titles?
