Surprised noone has mentioned this but the verses of Stand are pretty deceptively composed too.

You got 4 bars of 4 than a bar of 2
Leads to six bars of 4
Then repeats.

It's not the Rites of Spring but I definitely wouldn't call it simple. The key changes are not typical either and help emphasize the oddity of the structure. It still flows naturally too, even though it's out-of-the-ordinary. Still hummable...It's a well-written song.
