It's not sung like that though! Anyway, enough with the "Manics can do no wrong" campaign. It is not a crime to be objective.

OK, there might be one or two lines where James skips the 'have', I shall have to relisten to make sure!

If you manage to listen to it again, can I suggest a dose of PCP, or maybe Solitude Sometimes Is to fix things?
For the record - I don't mind it as such, it's just THAT LYRIC....

It's a perfectly good pop lyric!

I can't argue with that, and must say you are without doubt the hardest of hardcore MSP fan(atic) I've seen on here, for your total defence of almost everything they do.
But....... A good pop lyric it may be, but hell I'm not a "pop" fan, and MSP lyrics are not regular "pop". If I wanted good pop lyrics, I'd listen to the shite that Cowell churns out, but I'm an old, old Manics fan, and I don't. I'm an unashamed lyric snob, and I demands MOAR!! I want more than good pop lyrics because Wire can do so much more than good pop lyrics. If the song was made by anyone else I'd probably like it a lot more (as I've said before I love the guitar, and the verse isn't bad lyrically, at least they look like Manics lyrics!), but it's not. They are capable of doing so much more, and have done before and since. It's not terrible in comparison with all the other shite that's out there, but in comparison with everything else they've done - AAAAAARRRGGGHH THAT line.... Underdogs on the other hand, I LIKE IT. A LOT.

It does sound a bit like a cymbal which I guess is why nobody cared about it before or since.

OK, I think this needs a little work, but wtf let's go for it.
Autumnsong THB/CoR edition Eyes of darkness, despair blackness Face hiding lost in paint, Love's meaning buried in hate, No reason for birth creation destruction Hair unclean soiled washed in bleach Autumn leaves fall on wet ground We are the useless hairdressers Hopeless mousse fail bad dye quality Unclean soiled hair (x4) Autumnsong falling apart Can't get my head clean too weak to run Autumnsong falling apart Childhood lost along with shampoo Hair unclean soiled washed in bleach Autumn leaves fall on wet ground We are the useless hairdressers Hopeless mousse fail bad dye quality Unclean soiled hair (x4) Eyes piercing darkness of loathing I hide my face in eyeliner Love with no meaning hate is real Creation lost in dying seasons Lost in dying seasons (x4) Autumnsong falling apart Can't get my head clean too weak to run Autumnsong falling apart Childhood lost along with shampoo No bunches, no hair only gel Jacket restraining the soul. Autumnsong falling apart Can't get my head clean too weak to run Autumnsong falling apart Can't get my head clean too weak to run Autumnsong falling apart Childhood lost along with shampoo *fixed it for ya Nicky
