All this hating on William's Last Words! >

How could anyone have edited it to do justice to it anyway? The idea of it being a heavy big-voiced James track is horrible. The thing sounds like a set of lines made for a theatre play, not a song.

Erm, my thoughts - Nicky's best lyrics are probably on Truth and Lifeblood for me. Can't get into the Richey vs Nicky lyrics thing, way too complex! For me the music is the important thing, with lyrics it all depends on what they are about and how they come across.

Yeah, see even if Richey had've been there, they'd be editing the lyrics too, it's part of their songwriting process

"Intravenous Agnostic" is musically the best thing on KYE by a country mile. Just a shame the lyrics are nonsensical thesaurus vomit.

I think he was trying to be Richey in that one. Incredible song though.

I love the lyrics to Intravenous Agnostic in their sheer nonsensical insanity and how they fit the chaos and rumble of the music perfectly: it's a chaotic and hyperactive hyperspeed stream-of-consciousness hurricane.

One of James' best solos as well.
