Building a lyric around the repeated use of massive cliches which have been over-used by every mediocre songwriter ever is never a good idea, for me.
I was listening to it earlier and I was starting to get into the final section where the guitars give it a bit more 'oomph' and the strings hit and just as I was preparing to go with it...James sang 'Won't you tell me that you love me / Tell me what I wanna hear' and it crashed and burned. I like the Manics because they *don't* write generic crap like that.
