Cover art for Normal lyrics by Porcupine Tree

I think this song should be 'located' between Sentimental ("and I don't really know if I care what is normal") and "Way out of here" ("covered my tracks, disposed of the car") not as an alternate version, but an independent song that tell us something else about the story of the main character in FOABP, but for some reason it didn't make it into the album.

I also like the reference to Anesthetize ("I do a good impression of myself"). Maybe when the DVDA comes out with the full and re-arranged tracklist everything will make sense then.
