I think he does say faithful on the last line before the breakdown?

Although I think even if a lot of people heard the truth they wouldn't believe it. Not my place to talk, all I say is question everything...

I shall await the usual barrage of irony/insults that you close knit lot bestow on anybody with an alternative point of view! *Puts up umbrella/cunt shield*
My trolling comment wasn't even specifically aimed at you, it was just an amused response to all the bickering going on right now. But please, don't let that get in that way of your persecution complex. Remember ONLY YOU KNOW THE TRUTH.

Thanks for upping the song in the first place man. How did it feel to have piles of rabid Manic fans making you the FD celeb of the month?

Hello to all you new 'uns! This thread is as good a place as any to start your journey into the big FD unknown. Hope you stick around!

I've kinda missed SHR's cryptic craziness. Reminds me of the ole Richey thread back in the day.

Slightly more on topic - Upon first hearing it the boyfriend's reaction was 'IS THAT DURAN DURAN?!' So make of that what you will.

Well then. I think this is a case of Nicky being clever with words.

The difference between JFPL and Futurology album art reveal:

JFPL - Revealing piece by piece on their website, continually building hype. Finally lead up to a splash screen of a slowly zooming out image of the art. Scores of Manics fans tried to work out the album art before the reveal leading to one active forum.

Futurology - Randomly plonked out on iTunes.

Quite the difference.

So is this the art work for "Futurology"? Looks like one of the those street performers where you give them a dollar and they move before going back to being a statue.

http://itunescentral.org/2014/04/23/...-order-single/

A few weeks ago it was the butcher housewife image. I'm totally confused by rumours of artwork and leaked singles! It's time now for the PR people to release an official release announcing the worldwide release date of the new single. It can't be that difficult can it?

If you look at the larger photo, you can clearly see that she is standing on the stone, in heels. It's just the way the light is catching the surface that bleaches it out to make it look slightly alien and as if she is floating.

What? I'm a totally competent person who doesn't ever typo, I have no idea what you're talking about. Definitely looks like that's the art for sure. Piles of people are talking about it here.

In a parallel universe where Nicky doesn't have to rely on Ken Bruce for airplay, this is a line from the song.
