# There is a long piano intro to this song, sometimes tapers list this as a seperate song which is incorrect as it makes the song cycle ten songs instead of nine. It is highly likely that Suicide Sue wasn't performed at all, but it mentioned on lists here an there. Most likely it is an 1980-1981 studio outtake.

Gordon Liddy, a lawyer and FBI agent, was one of the Watergate burglars, a crew of five men who made their way into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at Watergate Office Building in May and June 1972. It became a major scandal and it led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.
