I really disagree with the "Rolex needs more variation" line that you and Kat are pushing - it would destroy the effectiveness of the song, the way it recreates the paranoid thought-loop you get when you're really wasted.

A middle 8 would be too much, yes, but an extra verse wouldn't have hurt.

the radio edit is just too short - I don't think an extra verse would go amiss but the 7-minute extended version is immensely satisfying (no extra verse).

I love the economy of the 2-and-a-half minute version: makes its point, gets out, endlessly repeatable. It's still my favourite track this year I think.

Actually what I'd really love is a version where the Wiley og and the Mz Bratt response were spliced together.
