# 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.
