Just checked on Housequake.com and it seems it is a Prince track that didn't make 3121 or Planet Earth. It seems to have been used in quite alot of the O2 sets.

I would suggest you go onto housequake. They have quite a bit on it including the lyrics to it. biggrin

It is a cover of Fleetwood Mac "The Chain" (from "Rumors" album in 1977). He has just modified the lyrics.

This is correct!

Its the guitar part thats played by Morris with the keys on the live shows. And he stops short of the bass part that breaks up the Fleetwood Mac song. The hook is the same with modified lyrics - def a nod to fleetwood Mac
