ballad of bodmin pill

• thunder and consolation albümünde yer alır.
• 25 şubat new model army istanbul konserinde robert heaton'ın anısına çalındı ve hep birlikte söylendi.
• 1987 tarihli bir heaton/sullivan klasiği. sözleri uçmuş, eklemek gerekir:
  
  smash glass against the wall
  curse the music on the radio that the neighbours play.
  door slams, she turns her head
  watches through the window as he pulls away
  funny how your racing brain drives you so mad
  when all the while you feel so numb
  too old to be clean far too young to be broken
  like an army we come
  
  cut back, left behind
  i watched you self-destructing oh so many times
  shot down, once again
  sitting in a chair crying what am i going to do with my life?
  just learn to hide the way that you really feel
  never let them know that you're scared
  but understand that you're not the special only one
  watch us now, watch us real close
  
  ch: how we all dance with this fire 'cause it's all that we know
  and as the spotlight turns toward us, we all try our best to show
  we are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak
  we are the heirs, we are the true heirs, to all the world
  
  let's go build a fire down on the empty beach when the waves are crashing high
  white heat purify, as the sparks fly up into the great black sky
  sacrifice these crutches to the crackling flames
  stand as silhouettes against the dawn
  it's far too late to try to sleep now, seems i'm never tired any more
  
  ch: i want to dance with this fire 'cause it's all that i know . . .
  we are lost we are freaks . . .
  and we try our best to show . . .
  i am lost... i'm a freak ha ha.

• aklın yolu iki. moz bir zamanlar the smiths varken how soon is now'da der ya "i am the son and heir of nothing in particular" diye, bu şarkıdaki "we are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak, we are the heirs, we are the true heirs, to all the world" şeklindeki justin-sözleri aynı hissiyatta değil midir.
• grubun 2004 yılında kaybettiğimiz davulcusu robert heaton'ın çok yönlü müzisyenliğinin kanıtı olan çok güzel bir şarkı. ballad of bodmin pill'in baslarını da heaton yazmış ve stüdyoda kendi çalıp kaydetmiştir.
