Just James, maybe Nicky, in a sad Welsh chapel lit by miners' lamps, with a string quartet and a piano:

Nothing Here But The Stains On My Teeth

1. A Design For Life (just to keep everyone guessing)
2. Send Away The Tigers
3. From Despair To Where
4. Motorcycle Emptiness (shorter version)
5. Solitude Sometimes Is
6. No Surface All Feeling
7. Baby Elian
8. Door To The River
9. Tsunami
10. If You Tolerate This...
12. 1985
13. This Is Yesterday
14. There By The Grace Of God
15. Ready For Drowning

I've included a couple of possible switches in case they would ever decide to tour an acoustic set
