Golden Platitudes (spoilers!)
Obviously contains spoilers.

It's definitely my favourite song on PFAYM. I love the melody, Bradfield's wonderful vocals and the haunting gospel choir. Such a touching song!

It was my 2nd favourite from the songs they played at the Hammersmith gig but now it's probably my least favourite along with I Think I've Found (sh)It.

The acoustic version of the Descent was way better.

I dunno yet - I keep waiting for a chorus to kick in but there's not one.

For some reason it reminds me of Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight.

I'm still listening to the album but have to say this is my LEAST fave so far. But then I was no kinda fan of "Golden Slumbers" for that matter either...

My best attempt, should be right


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 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 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?

Looks spot on to me!

I'm actually thinking it might be "Born to be a communist" now...and not "economist"...

Still not convinced it's "oh what a shower we are" either...but I can't hear what else it could be!?

Damn JDB and his pronounciations!

Sounds just about right, though I think it's "oh, what a show we are" instead of "oh, what a shower we are"

It's a great song though. I'm a sucker for piano-ballad-type-songs and this definitely hits the spot. Oooh...

And "left with the barest of bones leaving us all with homes".

I'm agree. But I can't listen "shangri-la" I listen: "song we love"....U_U

it's surreal, I know...
