Callum Dinnen

I've always loved the way the album officially closes with William's Last Words, which reads like a suicide note, only for the hidden track to kick in with the words 'I am not dead'

Marc D

This is easily the highlight of the album for me. So Manic's like to put it out as a hidden track

Chameleon Chris

the genius

breadrollboy

It's chilling, this song. I know Richie's lyrics throughout their career often detail the various troubles he had with many things, but this seems to me, to be the only set he wrote that sums up his entire dilemma into one final admission of bitter resignation. The darkest thing they ever wrote in my view

KarlsenKoi

Beautiful summation

Northern Stompboxes

Love this. Nails that Holy Bible guitar tone. Proper scratchy and abrasive. Tension in the chords.
This could have been put onto the third album and would have fit perfectly

Becca M

For me I think this is actually the best song on the album, why didn't it make it onto the official tracklisting..?

Larry Berry

discovered this whilst napping. The album played out then this out of this world played. Lovely!

PeeledApples

yeah this is my favourite as well, i love the bass in it

Dave G

This band have ment so much to me since 91, not onlky do i love thier music, when you read the lyrics and quotes on the album covers you then get interested in where they came from. The Manic Street Preachers taught me more thasn i ever learned in school,m if only school could have been dare i say sexy so learning was a buzz rather than a bore, sittin daydreaming, staring into space out the window, watching the time buy on the clock, the teacher droning on, the teacher from peanuts. MSP 4EVER
