===Copy Of A===
This is the only known original album version. Opening with a wavering synth line, a simple drum loop sweeps in the first verse. Various percussion loops complicate the arrangement throughout, layering and falling away as the song structure changes parts. Prominent use of vocal looping personifies the title of the track, with the repeating words in the lyrics restarting in time with the song. The chorus is marked by a mellow organ pad. ===Copy Of A (Radio Edit)==='''''Running Time: 4:22''''' Coming soon. ===Copy Of A (Simian Mobile Disco Remix)==='''''Running Time: 8:22''''' Exclusive to the ''Remix 2014 EP'' from Beats Music. ===Copy Of A (''Live 2013 EP'')===Recorded live at [[2013/07/26 Naeba, Japan|Fuji Rock Festival 2013]].

==Lyrics==
I am just a copy of a copy of a copy
Copy of a copy of a
I am little pieces little piece pieces little pieces
Pieces that we picked up on the way
Imprinted with a purpose with a purpose with a purpose
