Yet another song (like My Iron Lung) that reflects Thom's obsession with poor health, this is perhaps a product
of the physical tribulations of touring. The song looks at Thom's fear of growing old and becoming
physically incapacitated. |

I don't want to be crippled and cracked Shoulders, wrists, knees and back Ground to dust and ash Crawling on all fours When you've got to feel it in your bones When you've got to feel it in your bones Now I can't climb the stairs Pieces missing everywhere Prozac, painkillers When you've got to feel it in your bones When you've got to feel it in your bones And I used to fly like Peter Pan All the children flew when I touched their hands When you've got to feel it in your bones When you've got to feel it in your bones |

"Have you ever been looking at someone's face talking and wondered what their skull must look like?" - Thom"We recorded this about four times before we got it right. The original had the ending going on for about a minute and a half, which was something Jonny got from The Fall." - Thom 
"It rocks like a mutha." - Colin 
"Recorded something like first or second take, the same day as we recorded The Bends. Love playing it live." - Ed 
"This song and The Bends were done on the same afternoon, easily the best day of recording." - Jonny |
