Did anyone ever attempt to decipher the lyrics of Walk Away during the Body & Soul Tour (May 1984) which were -correct me if I'm wrong- slightly/somewhat different ? (They seem more like improvised mumblings at some gigs than actual lyrics though
) ...

They seem more like improvised mumblings 'cause that's exactly what they were at that point: that song was the latest addition to the setlist and Andy was still working on the lyrics. That - or he was too drugged out on that tour to remember that newest set of lyrics he'd just penned.

I'm aware that the song was in an early stage of writing (Walk Away 7"/12" released in October), I was just wondering if anyone ever had figured out what exactly he was singing (I'm trainspotting, I know
)

When were they/was he not drugged out ?

Probably closer to the truth than it bears thinking about...

Urm, sorry for the necro, but I've been listening, and:
And in the summer when it's not so easy,
walk around the same old town and...
That's all I got. It took so long to work out aswell. I'm rather intrigued by the tune and rythum to this one:
