At the beginning of Empty (or the very end of This Side Of The Morning, depending on your CD player) I can hear someone crying. Entirely in line with the sentiment of Empty I thought. However, some time ago, someone pointed out to me that it is in fact Justin's terrible laugh. Now I've whacked up my stereo volume to listen, and you can hear: Unidentified voice: ? Justin: 'Earwig go! Hoo Hoo Hoo' Now, from the context and Justin's reaction, I think the unidentified voice says 'Here we go', but I can't actually hear it clearly enough. Please could someone put this sad obsessive out of her misery? Also, is this on the tape and vinyl versions? I've only got WH on CD.
