Thinking back, the only way a 4/4 works is if it's swinging massively, so probably doesn't make sense to write it that way.

I'd favour 6/8 (or 2/4), rather than 12/8 (or 4/4), because of the accents - it has that classic tick-tock, rocking-horse motion of 2/4 - and because the tempo is a bit too slow to carry all four beats in one bar.
Contrast with The Angel Gabriel which is in 12/8 (sometimes 9/8) and is much quicker - the tempo can carry 4 beats to the bar.
But it's really 6 of one, a dozen of the other, if you'll pardon the pun.
It's not in 3/4 because the beats would be too fast - it's not a waltz - doesn't have that oompahpah feel - they're just quick triplets.
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
Appreciate all the replies guys. I'm liking the 6/8 the most so far. Seems to count most naturally and I guess that's what matters.

Yeah after another listen, 6/8 fits better.

I'd say its 6/8 because of the way the percussion sits in the bar. 12/8 doesn't make sense to me.

there are kicks on strong beats 1 and 3, and 2 snares to the bar on beats 2 and 4
and this type of drum pattern is perfectly normal in 4/4
switch 4/4/ to compound time and you end up with 12/8
1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a
the clue to my ear is in:
- the chord changes and how the guitar preempts the end of each bar with the short chord on strong beat 4.
- the phrasing of the vocal melody; sings on strong beats 1 and 2, pauses 3 and 4
interestingly, the chorus and mid-8 fit 12/8, but the verses switch from 1/8 triplets to 1/16 sextuplets..
so the verses have a more 12/16 vibe against the overall 12/8
I'd score this in 12/8
