That seems to link to a Computer World article about lawsuits.

The thread I was trying to post:

New Lyrics to Beautiful Strange (2011)

As he sang it in Copenhagen, Amager Bio, 6th August (AM) 2011

Beautiful strange

Strangely beautiful beautiful strange

That’s what you say, instead of the name

What’s the point, when she’s never the same

Who or what she may be today

Beautiful strange, beautiful strange

Glam rock beauty, natural and bare

Her job, her duty it’s to just make you stare

Where does she come from to conquer and claim

Whatever you were, whatever you became

Beautiful strange, beautiful strange

In this space time, sleeping alone

Then out loud you wished for a clone

Androgynous pilot stearing the plane,

You were ready to crash, now you are ready for change

Beautiful beautiful strange

Beautiful beautiful strange

-This part wasn't sung in the Dakota version iirc-

(What’s in your brain

You go insane

Yellow blood stain of black cocaine

Hard to explain, me words are just lame

Can’t mantain, can’t complain

Beautiful strange beautiful...)

Please, feel free to correct, add, ecc.

Androgynous pilot stirring the plane,

Thanks--I've got that Copenhagen performance somewhere, I need to listen to it, too. Seriously changes the whole feel of the song, which was (I assumed) about God, but now it seems to be something else entirely. I've only listened to the Dakota once, but I liked it.

When I listened to the live version, it sounded like Androgynous pilot stearing the plane, to me.
