i was never a member of the nail varnish and eyeliner club and i think i can live with out some lyrics about a man who wished he was an anorexic teenage girl.
lets face facts, richie edwards was probably a paedo who got chucked of a bridge by some toddler's dad.

The music is very PIL-like, although this is probably mostly down to the production which is quite alot like Atomiser by Big Black i think. Its certainly their best album and its the only one i go back to from my teenage years, the rest of them have their moments but its mostly nostalgia value, the holy bible still has a serious kick about it. I do like the idea that he's alive and well and working at a sewage plant or something, and lets face it, in a world of Razorlights it is nice to have pop stars who arent completely sure of their own greatness.
and yeah, i never knew anyone growing up who was part of the leopardprint brigade or any of that business, but i wish i had, i could have had better girlfriends.
