WHAT IS THAT YOU SAY?
Released: April 1991
Length: 4:01
Disc: On A Friday demo tape

A "feedback frenzy," is how Jonny describes this track. Recording it made him realize how much he wanted to work with Thom.

This track isn't bad... the verses are pretty poor, and the music isn't great, but the chorus has a sort of... catchyness to it. Thom and Ed sing different words and it sounds kinda good... Well, you may not think so at first, but I guarantee later in the day you'll be singing it to yourself without realising. And then you'll want to listen to it again... and the cycle continues. Oh, the bridge is sweet too.

No longer caught up
Big church wall
Makin' some noise with a pair of drums
Lying your thoughts out over the sky
Spinning around as you gaze at the sun

(What is that you say?)
Why don't you talk to me?
(Why don't you talk to me?)
What is that you say?
(What is that you say?)
Wrapping your fingers 'round my neck

I see the grass is still where we made our beds
I see the thin weed boy ride at this edge
I see the holy Jesus and the Pharoah and the Venus
And the ghost of you and me
Gagged and given up for dead

(What is that you say?)
Why don't you talk to me?
(Why don't you talk to me?)
What is that you say?
(What is that you say?)
Wrapping your fingers 'round my neck

There's something out there
But I don't know what the hell it is
There's something out there
As you guessed
Like the sun

(What is that you say?)
Why don't you talk to me?
(Why don't you talk to me?)
What is that you say?
(What is that you say?)
Wrapping your fingers 'round my neck
