Wow, four years and only two comments (and the second's a duplication). No 'this song rawks!' comments, or something of that ilk? Mind you, Manics fans ARE generally more discerning.
Anyway, as to the song itself: well, the recurring Manic theme of sleep crops up again, and as I think about it I see an odd connection between this and 'I Live To Fall Asleep'. Seems to basically amount to 'being asleep is better than being awake,' although I daresay it's slightly more nuanced than that. The restlessness, the despair of consciousness or something.
Anyway, I do love this song, even if JDB can't stand it (he's not a fan of 'Revol,' either - what's that about?!).
