Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

You can diss the lyrical content all you want (some find it clumsy, I admire its heart if nothing else), but what's really striking about this song almost 20 years on is its sound: the jittery, overly caffeinated keyboard arpeggios, the sourly sweet guitar "solo" on the quasi-bridge, and one of M's more assured vocals (at the time). It's always been one of my favorites of her album tracks; I wonder if it could've been a hit, given how much of a superstar she was at the time.
