Is there any way I can doublecheck this? Do you have a sound sample, a scan of the single, anything else...?
By chance I was looking at Bauhaus for something else, I found these:

For sound samples there´s a good anthology on this website:

including cover versions from not only the 1983 Bauhaus version, but also The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Jamie Slocum, The Upsidedown and Elton John. The Bauhaus version is of note as they attempted a reworking of the timing of the song and in their own style.

Jon, what a great source! I can even read the credits on the scan! Added the Bauhaus cover.
The Blind Boys Of Alabama
Was already in the database:
Jamie Slocum
Added. Probably the worst version I've heard of this song.
