Yeah Lifeblood had a great set of lyrics (though the tendency to repeat verses already started to be in full swing), but it's been fairly downhill since then.

you lot sure it isn't 'you got the books i got the scars'?
I hope it's that, far more pithy! edit- ignore that, sounds like looks, nevermind...

The more I listen to it the more I hear, 'Triumphs over loss' (apart from the very last line) but that may be far too positive for a Manics lyric.
Plus I think it is stars, I can hear a t... I hope it's stars. |

Lyrics don't seem too bad actually, wasn't sure about them when I was listening to it.

Very average as far as I'm concerned. When you consider some of the amazing lyrics they have written before these are yuk!

On the Stars/Scars debate can I throw stance into the mix?

I'm hearing "you've got the looks, but I've got the stuff", which I know it isnt, but it would be great if it was.
Oh and that line reminds me a lot of PSB's "Opportunities" which is in no way a bad thing. |

I think it's deffo 'scars.' makes a lot more sense, plus it's a nice ref point back to A Design For Life, "to show the scars" so we know scars already exist in Wire's world haha.
I keep thinking of Shania Twain's That Don't Impress Me Much when I hear that line though! |

I think stars makes more sense than scars - you're better looking but I've been luckier.

I did hear scars on another listen so now I don't know!
