Keep You Stole The Sun always! Gets the crowd jumping!

MORE from Postcards please! (Like the songs that we haven't heard live yet!)

More of the other songs from Truth that don't get an airing.

B-sides please!

THIS. It's usually my cue to take lots of photos of James when that pops up in the set.

Also anything from Postcards, even SKON and It's Not War. I could also happily do without YLAINE all the time as well...once in a while is fine, but it's not worthy of being a staple track.

Some more variation in the acoustic section would be nice too (and no I don't mean doing acoustic versions of songs that should be played full band, e.g. Stay Beautiful and You Stole The Sun...because that was just weird).

I love headbanging to the... I don't know what to call it, is it a breakdown? The bit where the song properly kicks in, about 2 and half minutes in. From there onwards it's great, but for most of the song, I have to agree that it's a bit of a snore. It was nice when it first came back into the set but I wouldn't miss it if it went now.

I was about to post the same. I can't get enough of that song. I know it was written by a kid but love every line.

Suicide is Painless and Ocean Spray are dull, they can go. I agree about playing more Lifeblood - such an underrated album.

Sun - but the guys always say that people love to jump to it. The chorus is cool to jump around to but they always play it without fail, give it a rest.
Everything Must Go - gets flatter and weaker every time done live nowadays.
Ocean Spray - people fall asleep to this live even though it's not a bad song.

Drop The Everlasting, YSTSFMH (but it wont happen as the crowd like it and the band like the reaction), YLAINE (I've had enough of it now) Kevin Carter and pick something else from the album that never gets a try live and Tolerate it's too slow and had too many outings live.

Put in the tracks that surprised people at the 02 and had such a great reaction like THB tracks and b sides that have some power. Have an acoustic half of the new gigs with the new tracks and then a really mad loud power half to send everyone home knackered but happy.
