Well I think so, it's listed on wiki as song he did lead Vocals on, and I remember an interview with Dave in the short lived rip off Stranglers fan club magazine or few page publication. Lt Kudu.

It sounds far more JJ to me though. Maybe a bit of both?

Sounds like JJ to me with a bit of a vocal effect

I think God is Good could have sounded a lot better. The drumming is a bit shit isn't it. I'm sure it sounded a bit better live.

I listened on headphones and can hear Paul, JJ and Dave. All layered.
An experiment that didn't quite work did it?

Now you mention it - I think I recall when they performed this live they were all singing the lead.

Yes even Jet's drum machine sounds shit on coup disgrace album, was better live and his drumming was great on the live version. Lt Kudu.
