Stick to the Original song order. However, I do agree in taking off More Fool Me.

I mentioned "Deja-Vu" because it was a half-written song that Gabriel was working on at the time, that is, during the "Selling England" sessions. Its lyrics portray Gabriel's own dream of living city life and moving to the countryland. Had this song been completed and located between the mystical epic "Firth of Fifth" and the playful epic "Epping Forest", it would have been a token of things to come in Gabriel's personal life. Something like an anticipation of the story of Rael in "The Lamb" (which is mostly an anit-urban myth) and the message in "Solsbury Hill", the classic personal manifesto in Gabriel's solo debut.

    Regards.

I think More Fool Me is a weak track, but it is important because it lets you breath between the monstrous epics.

Each song on Selling England gets 5/5 stars if I were to rate it, except for More Fool Me which is barely a 3/5 but I still wouldn't change the album at all.
