"I think the only really depressing song on the album is 'There Is No If', because in that one there really is no way out - everything goes wrong and then you die. I originally didn´t want that song on the album, and I was loath to even sing it, but the others in the band really wanted it on there. I normally disregard the four-to-one votes, which are as meaningless in this band as they are in any dictatorship, but everyone who heard the song really liked it."
Makes me think a little of the conversational style of "How Beautiful You Are" in that all is not as it seems and the narrator doesn't get an expected reaction
