There's another one for the misheard lyrics file. Although Stay
Beautiful list it the same as me. I can't be arsed to check the cd.

Yes, it's death row isn't it. That's definitely one for the misheard
lyrics file. Makes it more trite and a little too obviously romantic.
But interesting points.

Only at the university of life. Far too old to be a student.
Looking at the lyrics on Stay Beautiful just makes me want to pick more.
La Tristessa has some small power, and Everything Must Go is achingly
lucid. Nicky always has been a romnantic fool, and when he gives that
urge its head he writes his best lyrics. That's why most of KYE is
pretty barren, image and lyric wise.
There By The Grace Of God is another clever lillte play on words. They
did do them well too. I have a friend who doesn't really rate the music
but feele they have the best song titles of any band. Love Torn Us
Under, Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayit'sworldwouldfallapart, If
You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next and Of Walking Abortion.
I think I just madly adore the Manics. I was the right age, in the
right place at the right time.
