Just been reading up on this song... found a review that says the following:

"I’m not sure anyone expected a song with that name or the lyrics we were given beforehand ... to be so damn giddy and upbeat."

"Virginia State Epileptic Colony is pure upbeat jangle pop. It’s even downright goofy and tongue-in-cheek. As if to contrast the lyric completely, the band has decided to just take the piss out of its seriousness and turn it into a silly little torchsong."

Is it just me that finds this song reaaaally dark? Lyrics aside, there's something really melancholy about the melody and guitar parts. Something almost final and regisned.

Then obviously the lyrics are bleak.

It's one of those Manics songs that actually makes me feel a little melancholy myself when I listen to it... in a good way, I suppose.

Just wondered what people's thoughts were.
