Love the song, catchy as hell (even though it's been played a bit). And I fuckin love the JDB artwork at the moment, that's some good crack

Well it sold for £6.01 (not inc P&P). Did anyone bid for it? I put one in but was never foolish enough to pay that amount!

hmm...i like the artwork and it is lumped straight from the album sleeve. So its not exactly costing much. Maybe there is hope of a 3rd single? but if i remember correctly (don't have cd on me) there is no artwork representing "Still A Long Way To Go"

Quite right there, Tim! If the b-sides are as good as the ones on TNWTTAL then I'll be very happy!

Also, that artwork is class!

No, there isn't. And strangely that's the only one not to have an image attached to it in the album sleeve. I'd like to see Emigre as the next single - I love the little birdy!

I like AEG, and although I would have picked Still A Long Way To Go or Émigré as the next single, I do think it's one of the stronger tracks on the album, even if it has been played a lot [!].

And I also love that artwork.

well, it takes all sorts of course, but the following things make it memorable for me (all from memory!):

The guitar intro

The quiet riff of the chorus

"...as the rain falls down... it feels like a holiday (... a holiday...)" - very catchy

"oooh--la-la-la, oooh la-la-la"

The twiddly guitar solo that gets faster just as it's leading up to the chorus again.

Also just the whole feel of the song as a train racing through the rain... really works for me, I think the song is the encapsulation of the whole album (it's the song with the album title in, it's in some ways about the album, as JDB has said making it felt like a holiday from the Manics).

Hmmm, two vinyls? What a bizarre choice! It looks like I'm gonna have to get registering on iTunes to get these missing tracks.

No, it wasn't iTunes was it, it was MSN music store that had it. Oops!
