Cover art for Golden Platitudes lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

'I spent hours and hours and hours over the lyrics for this. It really felt like an important... I was obsessed with the chords from Back For Good by Take That! at the time and just dealt on to the pre-election address really, just the disillusion I felt with the way the Labour Party cheated its own class, just the idea that free WiFi and a Costa coffee can lift the working classes out of poverty.'
