Los Campesinos! – By Your Hand Lyrics 12 years ago
I originally thought this song was about Handjobs, but I think it's not as simple as that.
I think all in all the song is about thinking of a person while masturbating. "I've been dreaming you've been dreaming about me" sounds like a fantasy to me. Plus the whole thing of being blue-balled by a girl who is too drunk, and so he jerks off while thinking of her as being graceful, with thighs like a stallion (which is a line I love). I think this is almost proven with the lines "I'm not sure if it's love anymore, but I've been thinking of you fondly for sure" he's thinking about her while jerking off, knowing he only likes her for her body I.e, not love.

Manic Street Preachers – Peeled Apples Lyrics 15 years ago
Anyways, I never thought of the peeled apples as something going bad, but rather peeling away the skin of something to see what's inside, revealing the core/truth, I think it sets the tone for the rest of the album well, and that's why they put it first. Though, Richey did often use imagery of nature decaying/dying/dysmorphic.

I think the line is: "They make your brain complete/then they blow it to kingdom come"
