Yeah, I keep hearing "Por-alysis"... Poor James obviously needs elocution lessons badly

ROOF: I think it's "Exposing a call to the inner lie" not 'Exposing a core to the inner light'. Updated.

Hey guys I got the album yesterday - someone wanted to know the opening verse of 4 Lonely Roads it is:

4 lonely roads
the terror it had flown - never led you home
4 lonely roads
got sunk into my heart then it fell apart

30YW... I think it's The blood of Orgreave. Updated.

Getting there now...

I still hear "busted flush", it's definitely not "flesh" at least.

Thanks halcy0nzombie, much appreciated!

That solves it then.
30YW "All the evasion at the BBC"!

And it's "tower of song" in AFALC… I had wondered about that too.

And ROOF is "I'm revealing myself in layers / Exposing a core to the inner eye"

And Donkey was right on "cities" for 4LR. And Apparently "I don't know why" as well (though I am still not convinced on that one, but I'll change it, lol.)

And I find it funny there were a couple of others I got nearer to the first time before I made them more wrong. lol.

Updated the first post. If I missed any obvious corrections feel free to point them out. I still think it's slightly worthwhile dropping out of capital letters and adding question marks. And 30YW clearly has an "And" before "to darken all our class" and the lyric sheet will not convince me otherwise.

Absolutely loving the lines "I don't know how and I don't know when/But I pray that you'll beautiful again". Something oddly sinister about it, it almost makes me feel like he's singing about someone who's died.

Another favourite line "I'm old, I'm strange, I'm confidential".

Also let me thank you again, Porco, for putting this together - already an invaluable resource for those of us as yet lyric-booklet-less!

What, you already had it? Sneaky so and so, you could have helped us out a bit more then!

---

I've changed "Cellotaped" to "Sellotaped". I realised I'd spelt it with a 'C' rather than an 'S' when I was doing my shopping(!), it's an 'S'. The official lyrics should have done their shopping first too by the looks of it.

However, according to wikipedia it was derived from Cellophane (which was itself already trademarked) and changed the 'C' to an 'S' in order to be able to trademark itself.

So in a way it would actually be quite ironic if the Manics changed it back to a 'C' because the 'S' was trademarked. But they probably just did I what I did and spelled it incorrectly.

… #Xellotaped my world in bits...
