To the woods to stroke non-existent puppies

God Gave Us Life is the song which I always think disproves any “curse of HMHB” theory, because most of the extensive roll-call of wonderful people are alive and well nearly 25 years later. Even the, er, more senior ones lived on into the next century. Anyway, some nice distortion. Thanks to EskimoEric, gNick, Nigel, Tony, Martin and Sarah

    The fact that this is so badly recorded only adds to its charm.

    Has anyone ever been able to decipher the distorted backing vocals on the “also gave us” roll-call? It appears to be all the same names but in a different order, but I could never make it out clearly enough to be sure.
