There are about 3 or 4 versions out there this season...
Comme Des Garcons Shirt ads features PSB lyrics;
most of them are from Love Comes Quickly,
but one version quotes from We All Feel Better In The Dark
if I'm not remembering wrong.

Right now I have the most popular version scanned from British GQ Oct,
though I'm not sure where I can upload it for everyone to see??

All the best,
Anita :)
