Everything Must Go (song)

The song is cited by Wire as a message to the fans, saying the music had changed after the loss of Richey Edwards, but the band is still the same. Ushering in a new era for the band, Wire's lyric asks fans to forgive them for changing: "and I just hope that you can forgive us, but everything must go". James Dean Bradfield has said Sean Moore had a lot of freedom in the drums for his song. By contrast to several previous Manic Street Preachers singles, the drums are not "compressed", but are more open and free, giving a sense of disorder in the song. ==Release==
