David's right, definitely a real slide guitar on there - but there
*is* also MkII guitar present...the latter isn't doing any pitch
swoops though, it's just the same note being repetitively tapped away
on the keyboard for a few seconds after  ''cos I'm going to..' and
before 'nothing is real'. It's quite subdued so it's a bit more
difficult to really pinpoint in the commonly-available mix but it
appears more noticeably in some earlier takes / mixes. If you can get
to hear any of those you'll see what I mean.

(I'll get my anorak....)
