Lyric discussion by manic4manics 

'I wrote the music for this, it's probably the most I've ever put in to a lyric and writing the tune, I really did. I was gnawing my teeth so hard at this point that that one actually cracked out in the night, I literally snapped my own tooth! Going back to the touch stones of our youth, Ian McCulloch, that kind of really deep, rich baritone seemed to... and y'know, he was just- it was one of the strangest days I've ever had in the studio in my life. Ah, he was truly stunning and truly... I mean for three hours he just did impressions of David Bowie and Stan Boardman and, y'know, all kinds of stuff. But when he sang he really tried to dig something out of the song, y'know he just said to James "I'm the man and you're the girl". So it was a nice relief for James to be the girl I think!'
