I often go to sleep with pyjama bottoms, socks and a t-shirt on. When I awake I am naked. This is a popular phenomenon, known in scientific circles as
theft. My family members steal my clothes in the night and sell them down the market. I often walk to work and see kids wearing the clothes that only
the night before I was sleeping in. It is a disturbing development.

None of these lists has 'Dress Up In You' in them at all and therefore they are all wrong.
I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal
cases, you know, and blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else.
So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because that's very lucky, to be miserable.

15. Seeing Other People
16. The Boy With the Arab Strap
17. Jonathan David

fluctuations. No one wants to hear Fox in the Snow on a drunken night out- unless they've just been dumped...

Dress Up in You is ok, but it's far from classic.
I often go to sleep with pyjama bottoms, socks and a t-shirt on. When I awake I am naked. This is a popular phenomenon, known in scientific circles as

i think it's one of the best on the album! i like the tit for tat verses about friendship and failure and jealousy and desire. it's such a
good story, like a mini book in a song. And the key is so sad but then it's got that cute but melancholy horn section that lifts it up.
i love the whole album though, its bloody genius. i'm going to put it on now for cooking and dancing to.
Stay out super late tonight
picking apples, making pies
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
weā??re half-awake in a fake empire

erm, Robin here, I accidentally used Ed's login in as I was on his computer...so that clears up the mystery! I personally don't like Dress
up in You...I find it a bit boring and whiny- the rest of the album is quality though!

I thought it would be Robin, but I didn't want to spoil the mystery. We could've kept it going for weeks 
I find DUIY to be a bit of a throw back to early B&S, but just not as good, a bit of a self parody (musically that is - lyrically it's ok).
I'm not sure why Sam has a dislike of TLP, though it's probably my 4th favourite B&S album.
I often go to sleep with pyjama bottoms, socks and a t-shirt on. When I awake I am naked. This is a popular phenomenon, known in scientific circles as

I'd have to agree with Robin and Matt on this one. It's probably my 4th favourite B&S LP too... hmmm top albums in order? I'll have
to have a think.
