Go buzz baby on your motorcycle.

All we want from you is the rubber your burninnng.
All we want from you is the friction you're causinng.
Emptiness. babyyyyyyyyyy, go buzz baby gooooooooo.

I am aware how sexual this all sounds yes.

You just think it's brilliant cos you wanna hear James say "All I want from you is the friction you're causing" don't you?

All I want from you is some serious chafing.

I find the 'we must be grateful for what we get' attitude quite puzzling.

If you eat some chips that are shit then they are shit.
If you buy some jeans that look shit then they are shit.
If the Manics do something you don't like then you must be grateful.

Let's expand on this then, I'd like to personally thank Busted, so glad they made an effort, I used to think they made borderline retarded music for fans of modern day US 'punk', now I'm just grateful they bothered at all.

I was going to disagree with you as I didn't like your post but instead I'm simply honoured you bothered to post at all and as such I'm not allowed an opinion

A lovely image?

I think that it was really a missed opportunity to do something great with what Richey had left but then again, reading the full lyrics, it is amazing that they were able to produce as a good an album as they did because some of the lyrics are a bit mental.

Verse 1
Let me sing a song
What a lovely way to surprise you
I’ve come a long way
Even for a tone deaf singer

Ch
Oooolaaaaa
Oooolaaaaa
First, second, third time
Oooolaaaaa

Verse 2
I'll sing one more song
You wouldn’t deprive a man
We're a land of singers
I'll try my best, how does it go?

Ch
Oooolaaaaa
Oooolaaaaa
First, second, third time
Oooolaaaaa

Bridge
Now do I want to finish this song
It was lovely singing to you
I don't know when I'll remember the words
It'll be a long time, maybe never

Finish it, finish it
I made a balls up again
That's bloody horrible that is
If I sing a song I'm up or down a scale

Verse 3 - including fan-baiting repetition
One more time let me sing a song
What a lovely way to surprise you
I’ve come a long way
Even for a tone deaf singer

Ch
Oooolaaaaa
Oooolaaaaa

Soundbite
"It's what Richey would have wanted."

Oh my God, that's brilliant!

Okay, my attempt:

William's Last Words (because I can't be arsed to give it a new title)

Til we meet again
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
The long day is through
Once loved, now forgotten

Chorus
All queer and quaint
Clear and crazy isn't it?
I'll just say cheerio
Here I go on my way

You've been so kind
So sweet, so gentle
And if we meet again
The whole world smiles with you

Chorus
All queer and quaint
Clear and crazy isn't it?
I'll just say cheerio
Here I go on my way

You can die happy
But I wonder if you wake up happy?
Dreams enfold you
They leave and die

Chorus
All queer and quaint
Clear and crazy isn't it?
I'll just say cheerio
Here I go on my way.

Granted, I've kept it in a sort of "farewell" tone, but I do think the song is written like a farewell, even when you see the full prose, albeit more of a slightly rambling toast at the end of a retirement party rather than a goodbye from Richey per se when taken in full. If only I could write a tune...

I like it. It can still be read as a suicide/farewell note from Richey but it doesn't have the sledgehammer effect that Nicky's does in places.

And now we are showing Richey's genius by getting three songs and counting out of one lyric. Now we need someone to get a bit of Bill in there. Good old Bill.
