[hummingbird]

NO BIRDS

"Morrisey and Marr gave me choice"

"Love rains down like Vietnam's leeches"

The Japanese sounding thing in (I Miss) The Tokyo Skyline

Oh God that Black Dog bit, always makes me think of the sun coming out from behind the clouds.

[cherrybomb]

"Let me hide under the sheets and celebrate the boredom"

[Lone Architect]

Literally any time the word "always" appears in a Manics song.

Also when they flip the chorus of 'Europa Geht Druch Mich' to give it to Nina is one of the best, if not the best, thing I've heard in any song this year.

[beautifuldistortion]

"Sun breaks and Cloudbursts"

[Marconi Delorian]

"And on the street tonight, an old man plays..." - especially live! Seems to be the point where it kicks in to its highest gear and gives a lot more power to the last chorus and the outro.

[Jayseph]

"And if one of the occupation troops...forces you to carry his pack...one kilometre...carry it twoooooo."

The bit where Sean's drums kick back in on Revol, particularly in recent live versions.

The backing vocals at the end of P.C.P.

The last verse of ADFL.

The coda of Enola/Alone. (Actually, most of that album; I love the reverb-soaked strings and guitar feedback.)

The strings buried deep in the mix on Tsunami.

The bit before the chorus on 4 Ever Delayed where Sean opens the hi-hats up...

"Drop your bombs on all I see...leave this world alone for me" (Bradfield Bellow on Solitude Sometimes Is.)

The bit where the gospel choir comes in over the top of JDB's Lindsey Buckingham guitar lines on the middle 8 of The Future Has Been Here 4Ever.

The acoustic guitar runs on Rewind the Film (song).

Dreaming a City's bassline.

And more...

Will need time to think about this, but want to say in advance that I can't get enough of this thread.

[The Gutless Wonder]

James' vocalisations at the end of Tolerate and the 'Drop your bombs on all I see....' line from Solitude Sometimes Is for starters!

[mrdavidj]

This year, for me, it's been the closing section of Between The Clock And The Bed.

Also, as proven by how passionately I sang my heart out, fist raised aloft at the Roundhouse, the closing section of Postcards From A Young Man

"I will not give up and I will not give in"

[Useless]

Loads more along the same lines in here...

The guitar solo in Archives Of Pain

"who's responsible...."

Faster....all of it, but particularly "I know I believe in nothing, but it is my nothing"

The "yeah yeah yeah" in the live version of ADFL

The final minute or so of Tolerate

The final minute or so of Born A Girl

That's enough for now....

[kristal17]

Sculpture Of Man, the word 'man' being stretched out "mah-ah-an"
Love's Sweet Exile, the chugga chugga guitar after the drums intro and then "we blur into images of state coercion" When I first heard that, I thought 'this is amazing'
Slash 'n' Burn, the wibbly guitar bit before "Madonna drinks Coke"
The kind of bouncing drum pattern at the start of PCP
The little fizzy keyboard splashes that pepper Miss Europa Disco Dancer (hard to describe that)
Trumpet solo in Ocean Spray *blubs like a big lassie*
The very Welsh pronounication of 'heard' in Ready For Drowning (also love "WHAT IS THERE TO BELIEVE IN?'
The little phone call bit "ello?" in My Guernica
The lyric "and your war on cancer" in The Love Of Richard Nixon because it is just ridiculous

I am actually going to stop because I will be here until Stupid O'Clock listing many more
