The mp3 I have of it is 2.12. I'm sure it's 2.34 on the album. Bloody lovely song and the "God Only Knows" horn is gorgeous
 Has anyone had a stab of the lyrics?

Apparently Nicky wrote this song by text message (!) as his family were unwell at the time so he didn't go to Berlin.
Builder Of Routines I've sealed myself in Laminated all of my skin Cellotaped my world in bits I must embrace paralysis Only in you do we see ourselves Only in you can we imagine an end So sick and so tired of being 4 real Only the fiction still has the appeal Builder of routines It makes me safe and clean It crucifies parts of me But never seems to make me bleed Only in you do we see ourselves Only in you can we imagine an end So sick and so tired of being 4 real Only the fiction still has the appeal How I hate middle age In between acceptance and rage Democracy has sure made a fool out of me But I am the builder of routines ______________________________________ n.b. I'm saying '4 real' for obvious historical reasons, even though I usually dislike using numbers for words… be interesting to see what the official lyrics say...

Yeah what's going on with James' voice in the high bits?
Not a bad track but I think the context of the record will make or break it. Did anyone else cringe a little bit at "so sick and so tired of being 4REAL"? I'm all for bands being self-referential but there comes a point where it becomes a little awkward... also when was the last time Wire was 4REAL, however you define that?

Why does this always happen when i'm working!? Tbh Wire is one of those lyricists where 90% of his words look like crap on paper but put them to a melody and life is blown into them. I have no doubt i'll be singing ''sick and tired of being 4real'' at the top of my lungs if i get tickets to Shepherds Bush!

I quite like, probably the least liked one, but lyrically I do like.
Glad they didn't decide to repeat the verse or Chorus again like they tend to do.
