Also they seem to indicate they'd be rolling out more new songs, so I'm certain they currently expect to release an album, barring any production disappointments.
Pulp and production disappointments are certainly a potential worry so fingers-crossed. Maybe they should just self-produce, Jarvis and Mark.
Anyway, I thought this was going to be a cover of the Elastica song based on the title (well, I didn't really) but they're really firing them out now! Hope they hold some back so that we first hear them on the album.
Giles commented on Jarvis and Mark's rapport seeming stronger than ever before!
So glad they brought Lipgloss out again and it wasn't just a one-off! It's the #3 spot in the setlist that's the 'free spot' I think. Although nothing will compare to that Hogmanay encore!
I'd say "The Professional" done by Jarv Is. Sounds pretty good on first impressions.
I have attempted to transcribe the lyrics on the wiki. Feel free to improve.
We are now in practically the same position as we were in 1999: 5 new songs ("Roald Dahl" not withstanding). Here's to hoping for another new song tonight.
Oooooh the bass in this one. That groove is straight out of the Hardcore recording sessions. Properly bursting to hear this one again. Andrew just fits like a glove (a pink glove? discuss)
I've listened to a full recording of the first Canada show, and i tell you what - the tightness of everyone is so noticeable. I'd even go as far as saying that they sound as good as they ever have right now.
Good work Ian but one of the agendas is surely gender?
Sure is. There is another recording on YouTube (of the full set) so I have used that to fill in some of the blanks. I have also attempted to improve "Spike Island".

helloo, first time poster, long time lurker here...! i've listened over a couple of times and i think that it's:
"urban myth" rather than "earth movement"...
"one of a kind and ill defined" and "it's an out of body experience, my ? don't make no sense" near the beginning...
"it's mine, all mine" instead of "? man"
"it's not forever, just two silences stitched together" now i'm unsure about this too...
honestly i'm stoked that the lyrics are about gender ambiguity/nonconformity... the character of the song setting boundaries too... incredibly nuanced... it means a lot to me as a nonbinary fan
