but this is what I’d play if I was playing it to the end so see what you think

oh no! really? i thought it was so sweet, if he made a song about his baby :( how do you know these personal things about them anyway? hey, did you know that megalomania means going happy/crazy being in a big city? its true.

Yes i agree with you! I think that they are made out to be too much like a radiohead rip off. Ok so Radiohead may be one of their influences, but they have a different style. It's a really unique style as well, and if anyone knows any bands similar to them i'd love to know cos i love it. When i went to see them i was totally blown away by Matt's vocals and piano, even tho i couldnt see anythin cos im so short, i could hear it, and that was enough to make it an amazing gig.

Bells doesn't have a child, and I think this song is about loving every single thing about a person who he feels he could never be as good as, so they could never be together or if they are together he is amazed as to why. Megalomania is about the church, Matt explained it in an interview on radio 1. : ) MUSE RoCK!
