In the Name of the Wee Man

Simon Neil sings here of a relationship where he's so madly in love he is ready to resort to self-inflicting violence to demonstrate his feelings: I have a piece of glass, I'm ready to carve Your name across my chest, consider it art The violent, visceral imagery is a frequent lyrical theme for Neil, most notably in Biffy Clyro's best known song, "Many Of Horror."

At 4:25 this is the longest track on Ellipsis. Simon Neil told Q magazine: "That one makes you want to move your head, which is not something you can say about a lot of Biffy songs."
