Anyone Care to Waltz? - updated

I don't often stray from 4/4 time but I've had a go with this one:

Some lyrics adapted from the 1972 film "Sleuth" (well it was good enough for Morrisey) and also from "A Few Good Men". Comments welcome as always.

EDIT: link corrected - this is the version that I meant to post and has a lead guitar solo.

EDIT 2: 

Here's the remix.

I've taken some bottom end off the organ to give the bass a chance, also I've swapped the order of the 2nd and 3rd verses. I'd be interested to hear what you all think of that and whether or not the story still flows. The idea is that I now have "pregnant silences" followed by the stop - I considered moving the stop instead, but I think that might be too early in the song to have one. Any thoughts?

EDIT 3: 

@jwnicholson78 I've added a leslie organ to the middle 8 and coda as suggested.

Another Great vocal job! I loved the note choice at 1:46. You've for sure done some Fantastic stuff this year. Powerful drum track , didn't sound like a typical waltz. I'd like to hear you belt out some blues sometime ..    Enjoyed it ..  mark

Thank you so much Mark, you have much more confidence in my vocals than I do ?

Agree with Mark - this is a strong vocal - you can feel the emotional connection; I felt there was something of a Paul Weller vibe at times (his solo stuff).

Great job all round.
