- bridge: drums drop out except for 4 on the floor kik, synth bass reinforces bass line, synth keys build
- elc gtr stabs wait for first line of verse before entering
- middle (between 2nd verse and 1st chorus): single chord instrumental build
- chorus: ‘ooh, we used to wait’ repeated, multi vox
drums, bass, synth keys, - verse, bridge, chorus without build this time
- after chorus breakdown; bass, kik, synth strings, vox, all build ….
