That is such a tough one!! I wanted to vote for at least 3 or 4 of those, but in the end decided to go for Condemned to Rock N Roll!!

I find that particular line quite rejuvenating.

I voted for William's Last Words cos... well... isn't it lovely? I love the way it ends. The last few seconds reminds me a bit of the last few seconds of Rock N' Roll Suicide and you can just imagine em taking a bow while those last strings fade out. I just think William's Last Words sounds more like an ending / dawn of a new beginning type thing than any of the others.

Oh, and I'm a little bit bored of No Surface All Feeling..

If that's any meter to go by, then NSAF definitely makes me cry.

It indeed is Tails, in one of the bizarre disguises featured in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (a Western film style saloon pianist, if I recall correctly).

William's Last Words is a perfect closer. Although I love Bag Lady it irritates me that it was placed as a hidden track because it's definitely not a closer.

I love NSAF and PCP as well and Condemned to Rock 'n' Roll is (unintentionally) hilarious. None of their other closers does anything to me.

Hello there, anti-me! Looking at this list, I'm thinking "they're brilliant with closing tracks".

Anyone who says SYMM clearly doesn't deserve to have ears.

Brilliant song, wraps up the album and bids farewell to the listener wonderfully. My ears are dandy.

PCP, for it fucking kicks, and encourages you to listen to the album again.

WLW would have been if James had sung it. yes, i know the quasi-rationale behind Nicky doing it, but James would have been brilliant.
