I love how a cover can sometimes change the entire feel and interpretation of a song just by changing the music but not the lyrics.
The Cure version is clearly about being at home bored because you can't afford to go out, with a brief wonder about a girl he met / knew.
The Living End cover seems far more anxious, I get a "she was meant to be home hours ago, where is she??' vibe.
