I'm pretty sure it was left off because of the word 'shit' cause I think l can recall Hirst or Garrett talking about it in an interview.  Can't recall whether it was radio or magazine.

  I don't think it's because it wouldn't fit on vinyl. I have both the
  vinyl and CD of D&D and it's not on either.

  As for the "S" word, I can't believe that would be the reason. This
  was the late 1980's for goodness sake! After all, back in the 1960's,
  the Jefferson Airplane had no trouble getting the phrase "Up against
  the wall motherf***er" onto an album ("We Can Be Together" on
  Volunteers). Did MO or their record company really think our fragile
  sensibilities would be harmed by the word shit????

  maybe that's why the vinyl finished with Sometimes.
