Mars Ultras, You’ll Never Make The Station is a Peel Session one-off which makes you think “how can any band write songs as good as this and only ever record them once, on a radio session?” And the rather excellent title doesn’t have anything to do with the song, either, in case you’re wondering.
David Wainwright’s Feet is a rather sweet song from a charity compilation for children called Colours Are Brighter. The Guardian described it as “a genuinely funny, cautionary tale about pestering one’s nan for fashionable trainers”, so now you know.
Ordinary to Enschede is a B-side from the McIntyre, Treadmore and Davitt era. It’s rather sweet.
The most obscure lyrics transcription on the site to date, and another one I can’t see has been done anywhere else. I think Epiphany has never been released either, but was only performed on a John Peel session.

Note from Chris The Siteowner:
I tend to act on lyric corrections usually only when somebody backs up an initial suggestion. If a correction doesn't get a seconder, I usually let it go (unless it's so obviously the right thing to do). However, if you feel strongly that I shouldn't have ignored a suggestion, feel free to re-post your comment and ask for some support!
