David's voice is great, as usual, but the lyrics just aren't very creative. The strange thing is, though, while they're not the most well written lyrics, they're somewhat touching in a weird way. Can't really put my finger on it. In reality, it would be a much better song without the two minute midsection of carnival noises. It just seemed like a desperate attempt to create that well known "Pink Floyd sound".

Very well put. I completely agree; those are some of the actual reasons why I hate the song.

I didn't lke vegetable man either...

The Jesus and Marychain do a good version of Vegetable Man!

I've never liked "Bike" that much!

I love the "you're the kind of girl" part, and then the little thing that sounds like little matchstick army men marching...it's completely out of context, but it's perfect. Especially when they slow down halfway through the song.

My least favourite song is probably Poles Apart...I just don't relate to it.
