Westminster more ugly than a gas chamber - if you wanted to demonstrate the Manics early lyrical approach in one line, that would be a strong choice! But more importantly: does this mean they hate Westminster more than Slowdive or not? Haha

Bethlehem Radio is a good one. Never quite got that one, although the WWII link is interesting!

I never quite got one of the lines in Black Holes for the Young: "Sandy, sandy feet, ice cream to sleep." I've always thought the song was about souless London urban young professional types, so where does the sand come in? Stretching further afield to Brighton? Is 'Ice Cream to Sleep' a reference to people being so childish that they have to have a kids treat to put them to sleep?
