Of course Dan is on the song whose second part sounds exactly like a really good New Order song... he's turned a really amazing career out of essentially being a hugely talented Bowie and JD/NO fanboy, and I mean no disrespect to him by that. Every project he's had, every guest feature he's on, is gold. He's a post-punk Midas.

Heres the best version thats out there, everything but one line taken from genius, and one line (Paraphernalia) was me making my best guess. Paraphernalia - "miscellaneous articles." aka junk and stuff. Sounds like he says it and it would make sense based on the previous line [Verse 1: Matt Flegel] Necessary but against your better judgments You were being overcharged in the market square Overwhelmed and it’s coming from all angles You were entertaining the idea that it wasn’t fair [Pre-Chorus 1: Matt Flegel] But the picture seemed sharp enough to view life through you I can’t remember where we were, where were we when we all went under? [Chorus: Matt Flegel] You don’t have to say sorry For all the things you failed to do You don’t have to say sorry For all the times when everything fell through [Verse 2: Matt Flegel] State-sponsored character assassination I promise that I’ll burn your things when you’re dead and gone It’s an orchestrated controversy No strategies for dissolving in the atmosphere [Pre-Chorus 2: Matt Flegel] And the distance seemed sure enough from Point A to Point B Your favourite feeling was the ground falling out from beneath your feet [Chorus: Matt Flegel] You don’t have to say sorry For all the things you failed to do You don’t need to say sorry For all the times when everything fell through [Verse 3: Dan Boeckner] Unholiness Arrives by satellite On time And I see no Anomalies between Both sides [Verse 4: Dan Boeckner] You could help me With every little need End scene Left here with no Paraphernalia Recede [Bridge: Matt Flegel (Dan Boeckner)] Erasing (Erasing) Your memory (Your memory) Erasing (Erasing) Your memory (Your memory) [Verse 5: Matt Flegel] Our particles Collide and drown By candlelight Our particles Collide and drown By candlelight Beautiful stuff, truly

Yeah, I agree. I like how they survey the entire post punk/new wave landscape in one epic track. They kind of start out on the harsher end of the spectrum by showing a Joy Division or Bauhausish sound and then turning it into a more Bono esch anthem.
