I think that looks right to me. Although maybe the line:

" "

should be

" " ?

Not sure, of course they sound they same, so it's just a spelling difference anyway.

Just been working on an isolated vocal track. Doesn't really go anywhere.

I'm pretty sure that it's another Sean backing vocal.

You're all wide of the mark - Richey sings on it.

I'm not sure what the line is, but it's obviously about Richey...

Yes, more specifically it's about his absence.

I think it may be a reference to the empty brackets from the Everything Must Go cover.

Still can't get over the second line in the chorus though! Virtually obscene.

Good misic, terrible lyrics. The " " line is a real clunker. What was Wire thinking?

I'm really excited about the album! (well, in my case it's always like that when talking about the Manics) This may be one of their finest in all their career and that's something MASSIVE to say!...

Those lyrics are really repetetive and rhyming " " with " " is just plain lazy.

If you told the band that the song sounded like video game music, James and Nicky would just be confused, while Sean would have a sly smile on his face.
