'Don't Try Suicide' says - just that - and I quite like that one, it's funny. You should never read the lyrics without listening to the album at the same time, you know. It isn't prose and they're not poems.
We approached [the album] from a different angle, with the idea of ruthlessly pruning it down to a coherent album rather than letting our flights of fancy lead us off into different ideas. The impetus came very largely from Freddie, who said that he thought we'd been diversifying so much that people didn't know what we were about anymore. So if there's a theme to the album, it's rhythm and sparseness: never two notes played if one would do. Which is a hard discipline for us, because we tend to be quite over the top in the way we work. So the whole thing had a very economical feel to it, particularly Another One Bites the Dust, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Dragon Attack, Suicide, a very sparse feel to all of them and, for us, a very modern-sounding album.
