Does a little bit. Don't tell Nicky, he was moaning that for their last album they wore military outfits and had a song called Yes.

That's what happens when you use simple riffs. They've ripped it off at least twice themselves.

This could elevate the Manics-Eno feud to Total War proportions.

Can't say I find them similar, outside being melodies played with a guitar.

The Manics do not have copyright or artistic ownership of one particular finger picking or strumming pattern, which is all this song has in common with ADFL.

The opening arpeggio does appear to be the same as A Design For Life's, but transposed up 13 semi-tones (C# instead of C).

I'm not sure that would really stand up in court as plagiarism, but yeah, it sounds familiar.

Nothing like any Manics song/riff other than it's played on a guitar...

So essentially any song by anyone with a waltz time signature? FFS, the manics dont own a time signature...
