I agree. I always thought A Design for Life's got some "I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea" (Fyodor Dostoevsky) attitude.

How about this for a gun to the head? Had to pick a unique number to log into bank
So picked the album numbers from KYE, THB, Lifeblood, JFPL and TIMTTMY.
But there we go! Wonder world of purchase power and I used Manics albums to decide.

Early glam-rock Manics would've made a great Liar cover.

Doesn't this song sound a little like Concrete Fields?
