the problem with life becoming a landslide
In the pre-chorus James does not seem to sing my idea of love comes from. It´s something like my idea arevalove xd. Has anybody some information about this?

I dont mean to be rude Manicspain, but I dont have a clue as to what your talking about? If your talking about the album version, it is clearly: 'My idea of life comes from, a child glimpse of pornography.' Anyway, most weird sounding lyrics with JDB are normally nothing other than his Welsh pronunciation or the speed at which he sang on GATS and THB.

No, he sings it quite clearly. "My ide-a of l-ove comes from". Perhaps it's his accent throwing you off?

The problem is they dont play it often enough at gigs. Would be nice to hear it someday.

it was when you watch videos of it being played before, when they speed it up after the first chorus, this year it totally dragged... damn

It was played far too slowly during the recent Wolves gig. They made it sound dull and plodding like something off TIMTTMY.

Disagree. It's not a fast paced song on the album so why should it be speeded up? Why does everything have to be done at 100mph to be considered 'punk' or whatever?

It was definitely played slowly in Wolverhampton. In fact... hold on.
