Song · Hail to the Thief era (2003–04)
I Am Citizen Insane
The 2003 site gave it a page before the single was out, and the page said “No lyrics available”.

the b-side
Parlophone put it on the first CD of the “Go to Sleep” single on 18 August 2003, ahead of a live “Fog (Again)”, and on the limited 12-inch beside “I Am a Wicked Child”. It is largely instrumental, a run of glitching studio textures from the Hail to the Thief period, more a collection of sounds than a song. Its page on the 2003 version of this site went up while the single was still to come, and where the words belonged it said “No lyrics available”, which was close to the truth. It went onto Com Lag (2plus2isfive) in Japan and Australia the next March.
