For the single release version of this song, the title was changed to 'Spitting In The Wind' so as not to offend the gentle ears of radio listeners. But it's this version that makes most sense, evident in the first three lines: "I've been spitting in the wind / I chance a foolish grin / And dribbled on my chin...". It's obvious that chancing any kind of foolish grin while spitting (wind or otherwise) will result in chin dribbling. But with pissing? It raises worrying questions. What's that? He pissed on his chin? That... That can't be right.
