The music (originally written by Adam) is about 7 years old, but was adapted by TSM to fit their style. The lyrics concern the rise and fall of an nameless popular public figure and how public perception can alter based on opinion and behaviour. Inspired by seeing a newspaper reporting Anna Nicole Smith's death, the lyrics could just as easily translate to be about Britney Spears all things considered!!!

An almost instrumental piece, high on ambience and varying texture (Pretentious, eh?). A band favourite, so named because, originally, there was some dialogue using only the words 'left' and 'right' (which was only there in the first place as we couldn't come up with any decent lyrics!!!). The words have since been removed and now only the wordless signing of Adam appears.

Despiteits title, one of the easiest songs to write that we've ever done, with the lyrics coming together in about 20 minutes (Which you can probably tell if you listen!!!). Musically, as is our habit, the song is indisctinctly different sections; the easy going, contemplative verse, a heavier, pleading chrous and the rockier outro. It's been said a gigs that this song best reflects our many influences. Now if only we could have more than one attitude click allowed..

A song about no-one in particular (Although there are claims that Adam's lyrics are a wee bit autobiographical!), someone with no political, religious or social interests and, therefore, little point in existing. Yet another one of those multi-style songs of ours. Why do we do it? Apart from the fact that we're fond of groups like Mansun, it's also a complete cop out when it comes to writing songs. Can't think of a direction for a song to take? Simple, take something completely different that you couldn't put anywhere else and see what happens! We loves it, we do!
