now i have not listened to it too deeply, or on the greatest of headphones, but are there any gospel choir or vocal harmony lyrics variation - i.e. as in the end of "PCP"?

Like most people here I despaired at the Manics' inarticulate ramblings against the internet a couple of weeks ago but I have to admit I quite like the Billion Balconies lyrics. Whatever you may think of the internet, and this is coming from someone who believes it to be the greatest advance in information distribution since the birth of print, it does have its dark side which this song quite neatly encapsulates.

Golden Platitudes
The platitudes they all disolved, got too deep got too involved The platitudes just interludes to break the trust with me and you Oh what a shangri-la, Oh what a shower (? maybe show) we are Oh what a mess we've made What happened to those days? When everything seemed possible, with no-one to tell you "no" Where did the feeling go? Where did it all go wrong? Born to the economist (? to be a communist) but then our marriage fails as did the partnership The platitudes they all dissolved, they got too deep got too involved The platitudes just interludes, to break the trust with me and you I fell back in love with love, I know that it might sound odd The liberal left destroyed every bit of my youth Left with the barest of bones leaving us all we've honed Where did it all go wrong? Where did the feeling go? Why colonise the moon? When every different kind of desperation exists in every single home Where did the feeling go? Where did the feeling go? Where did it all go wrong?

First time at this, so please add any missing blanks/corrections
Don't be evil The lines have all been blurred, to the point of no return, the sicko and the bullies praise your name, you then wrecks? their lives with xxx and fame As txxxxxxxx suit you won't wear As stupid as the jeans you tear as evil as a pretence care God save us all from Satan's stare Don't be evil, just be corporate, Fill the world with your own importance, xxxxx for the world to see, your own movie star and it's for free The lines have all been blurred, to the point of no return, with normal people living normal lives, normal things seen from normal lines? As xxxxxxxxx suit you won't wear, As stupid as the jeans you tear, as evil as a pretence care, God save us all from Satan's stare Don't be evil, just be corporate, Fill the world with your own importance, xxxxxx for the world to see, your own movie star and it's for free Don't be evil, just be corporate, Fill the world with your own importance, xxxx for the world to see, your own movie star and it's for free and it's all for free (Guitar) That means it's going, last time it's showing, xxxx when it's all done and dusted Don't be evil, just be corporate Fill the world with your own importance The music is going, the sun is showing, pretend technology made us equal, Don't be evil, just be corporate Fill the world with your own importance (guitar break and end)

The lines have all been blurred
To the point of no return The sickos and the bullies praise your name You then enrich their lives with pleasure and fame As corporate as the suits you won't wear As stupid as the jeans you tear As evil as the pretense you care God save us all from Satan's stare Don't be evil, just be corporate, Fool the world with your own importance, Portray your tedium for the world to see, your own movie star and it's for free The lines have all been blurred, to the point of no return, with normal people living normal lives, normal things seen from normal eyes As corporate as the suit you won't wear, As stupid as the jeans you tear, As evil as the pretense you care God save us all from Satan's stare Don't be evil, just be corporate, Fool the world with your own importance, Portray your tedium for the world to see, your own movie star and it's for free Don't be evil, just be corporate, Fool the world with your own importance, Portray your tedium for the world to see, your own movie star and it's for free The music's going The sun isn't showing The printed word is all done and dusted The music's going The sun isn't showing Pretend technology made us equal Don't be evil...
