Lyrics

Notes

I don't want to be crippled and cracked  Shoulders, wrists, knees and back  Ground to dust and ash   Crawling on all fours    When you've got to feel it in your bones   When you've got to feel it in your bones    Now I can't climb the stairs Pieces missing everywhere   Prozac painkillers    When you've got to feel it in your bones When you've got to feel it in your bones    And I used to fly like Peter Pan All the children flew when I touched their hands    When you've got to feel it in your bones   When you've got to feel it in your bones

Yet another song (like "My Iron Lung") that reflects Thom's obsession with poor health, this is perhaps a product of the physical tribulations of touring. The song looks at Thom's fear of growing old and becoming physically incapacitated. Thom : "We recorded this about four times before we got it right. The original had the ending going on for about a minute and a half, which was something Jonny got from The Fall." [taken from greenplastic.com]
