Invent a typical album

[Terminal Young Thing]

Shortly before the release of Postcards from a Young Man, me and a friend predicted (rather accurately, I think) the forthcoming attempting at MASS COMMUNICATION.

Hello it's us again

1. The second single. It'll have a 'la la laaa' chorous, and will certainly contain a string section.
2. The first, slightly communist hit single, with a repeated chorous and a high chance of string section.
3. The track based on Sky news, referencing money, football and the Tories.
4. The track about some artist we've never heard of.
5. The track on some film nobody knows or wants to see. There will be an least one instance of a poorly recorded soundbite from said film, or if Wire is feeling extra-clever, a poet.
6. The track which is ripped off from/made up of quotes from Wire's current favourite people.
7. The track which will inevitably become James' acoustic spot live, and will probably be the third single.
8. The track about war, global politics and Wire's own internal strife vaguely weaved together. This is like track 3, except Nicky read about this stuff in a book, rather than watching it on the telly.
9. The track where Nicky takes lead vocals/prominent backing vocals and mutters about his house, kids, Newport, haircuts, dysons and GLORIOUS WALES.
10. The track which James wrote the lyrics to, over a pint (or two or three or four), where he attempts to sound deep 'n stuff
11. The last track, with a four word chorous and epic outro.
12. The hidden track - probably Poker Face, or Rock Around The Clock, if James gets to choose.

And the bsides:
13. The track which rips off a Generation Terrorist song, only James sings an octave lower.
14. The track which reuses the lyrics to previous Manics songs
15. The track about Richey, but it isn't, but it is yeah you know kinda like. Despite not being about Richey, it'll have a soundbite of him speaking in the middle.
