Am I the only person who hears the drums backward on this song? I feel like the live and alternate versions have the downbeat in an entirely different place than the album version, although the parts themselves are played virtually identically.

Album version:
[ONE]-oh-the (2)streets-are-cracked [THREE, FOUR]
(1)And-there’s (2)glass-everywhere [THREE, FOUR]

Spyboy etc:
[FOUR] Oh-the-streets-are
(1)cracked [TWO, THREE] and there’s (4)glass every
(1)where [TWO, THREE]

You’re not imagining things. Live version is much more straight ahead than either of the studio takes, with the snare on the 2 and 4. Main studio take has the first snare on the upbeat after 2 and downbeat of 3. It’s a very different feel.
