30 Days of Manics - Day 5

Day 5: Your least favourite song.

There are *so* many to pick from!

I'd probably go for S.Y.M.M. Largely because they seem to actually know it was a woefully unsuccessful song ("But it's really not the sort of thing/That people want to hear us sing...The ending for this song/Well I haven't really thought of one" - err, don't bother then?!) BUT THEY STILL PUT IT ON THE ALBUM.

There's really very little to say. I think I've listened to it a couple of times and always been completely perplexed at why it exists and why Nicky actually thought he'd written lyrics rather than an apology and a bit of procrastination. It's like me trying to write a book about the Napoleonic Wars and producing a 300 page ramble about how I not only don't know what I'm talking about , being really excited about remembering a couple of relevant names and dropping them in (Napoleon! He was definitely involved! = "But thank you Jimmy McGovern...") before finally concluding it probably wasn't worth it (The reason for this song/Well it may be a pointless one)

Nice.
