When people say it, though, they're really talking about all the songs they might have heard them play at a festival sounding the same. Sadly, they are unlikely to ever play The Intense Humming Of Evil or Condemned To Rock N Roll at a festival. Less sadly, the same can be said of Engage With Your Shadow and Failure Bound.

Instead they serve up a load of songs to the general public that go on about love before finishing with one that goes on about how they don't talk about love. I noticed this last year when a highlights show picked all the 'love' songs (including stuff like YSTSFMH) and then ADFL came on and it illustrated quite well how they don't know what they're doing anymore.

Well you've got to have YSTS haven't you? Wouldn't be a modern day Manics gig without it!

No, it's Nicky's 'I HATE TOURING' song, apparently!

*music from The Twilight Zone!*

The song was described as a 'lovers tantrum' but can't remember who by!

It's not really music, just a couple of spooky sounding chords!

As long as you don't hate YSTS!

Aaaaaaaaaaw! Had to have my cat put down last year and she was 18.

For me YSTS is a cross between the two themes!

"We don't talk about love apart from Further Away, You Stole The Sun From My Heart, some of Lifeblood, Your Love Alone Is Not Enough, (It's Not War) Just The End of Love, Some Kind of Nothingness and stuff off our solo albums among other songs" doesn't scan as well though to be fair.
