Replace The Missing Word

'Inspired' by this video of Life Becoming A Landslide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mFcE_47OGk

…where the uploader thought it a good idea to mute the audio at every mention of the word 'pornography' in the lyrics for some reason.

I thought it might be fun to imagine some alternative lyrics. I do not claim this to be a completely original idea: TV and radio shows have had similar games for years - but here's how we play:

The first poster chooses a Manics lyric, but omits a word or words from the line,

e.g.: "My idea of love comes from a childhood glimpse of ___ "

The next reply will suggest a word or words to replace the missing one(s) and complete the lyric...

e.g.: "My idea of love comes from a childhood glimpse of geography"

and then suggest their own lyric with a word or words blanked out (there will be no cheque-book and pen* though, sorry).

*reference to old UK gameshow 'Blankety Blank' for any foreign forumers who don't know what I'm going on about there…

etc.

So, let's start with the example again:


"My idea of love comes from a childhood glimpse of ___ "

"My idea of love comes from a childhood glimse of cacophony "


For me this is one of Richey best lyrics(but one of the worse manics songs)... but lets make it even better... can we?

I'd take a 'blank' to the funeral
