Sub-titled "a tribute". It wafts in on a cloud of synths, Ferry's voice tottering above it like a tightrope walker with grease on his shoes, eventually (after six minutes) trailing away into forlorn whistling and the Radio 2 playlist. I don't doubt the sincerity, but it doesn't have the edge that made Lennon's original so compelling.
