In Your House was stopped because of a loudmouth in the audience. Robert Smith wondering if that was insults or not. The incident was even related in the local press. Robert admitting "we come from England, we don't understand..." (americanism). It was meant as a compliment (unless the heckler got scared while explaining). The second version of 17 Seconds had few extra lyrics. The punk scene in New York welcomed the band that instantly acquired a "cult" band status there.
