Poor Misguided Fool

Credited to Starsailor like every song on the album, with Walsh writing the lyrics. It is track two at 3:51, recorded in April and May 2001 at Rockfield under Steve Osborne, and was released as the fifth single on March 18, 2002, reaching 23 in the UK, promoted with a US trek on the MTV Campus Invasion tour. The CD single carried "Born Again", a remix and the video, and the DVD "Born Again" and "Hot Burrito #2". Wikipedia hears a New Order-influenced intro and a strumming pattern in the vein of Blur's "Coffee and TV". The NME single review called it one of the more upbeat moments on an album that wallows endlessly in its own glumness, better than "Alcoholic" but not as good as "Good Souls".

David Slade directed the 2002 video for Bullet Films. Setlist.fm counts 341 plays, third among their songs behind "Good Souls" at 358 and "Alcoholic" at 356, and a 2015 Boston show opened with it ahead of "Alcoholic". It is track six on Good Souls: The Greatest Hits. We found no covers or samples. The upload is the studio version; its title names the album, not a song called Love Is Here.
