Yeah, but the lyric is 'A day of wine and roses has made me feel alive' so unless he's just being all poetical and not referring to stuffing his face with choccies!

Ah thanks, I must've missed this in an interview or something somewhere?

I'd rather like to know exactly which songs James contributed words to.

When I first heard I Think I Found It I thought it was terrible. It's one of my favourites on the album now... well done James!

It took me a few listens to get into it. The mandolin was confusing initially but I love it now!
