Invent a typical album

[Midlands_Junk]

I have a hilarious sinking feeling that we may have already written some of the Manics future hits. Which would mean one of two things:
a) Nicky has become such a caricature that Manics songs write themselves, which is bad.
b) Nicky will have read this thread and thought "maan, that sounds BRILLIANT", which is worse.

Wow, that one's pretty good too - only I sort of conflated tracks 10 and 11 and read it as Bumming on the Apocalypse.

Three Times as Evil is Spinal Tap meets Jedward.

Ha! Ha! I typed that all up in about 3 mins straight off!

I can actually imagine that.

The pre-chorus would be
(Diminuendo, James solo)
Oh, Ive just got hooooome....
(Gets HUUUGE, full band, probably some pointless string quartet too) CHORUS:
But it's so very dark,
I looked for your heart,
But it got lost in the NIIIIIIIGGGGHT.
(oooh, la, la, la, la)
Oh, it's so very dark,
Let's go back to the start,
Turn on the LIIIIIIIIGHT

Solo
verse
repeat.

Oh, Midlands Junk, I like this game.

....Just gotta think about this after a beer.
