Any chance of Chris singing again?

Yes indeed. If I recall correctly, Chris sung/spoke this into his mobile phone whilst walking home one night, and the audio was later transfered to the computer...
Chris: "I don't really like MP3's. It's like having a 1 megapixel digital camera."

Well, you could have fooled me! No idea that was Chris, it doesn't sound like him at all.

For the record, I am a fan of the occasional Chris vocal. The diversification is nice. I love Lies, BTW. :)

Here's the story, as reported in Literally 28:
Chris Heath wrote:One new song, "I made my excuses and left"[...], was built around a melody and vocal line Chris sung into his Nokia mobile phone as he was walking home over Waterloo Bridge in the rain[...]. They have used exactly what Chris sung on the song itself. "We Bluetoothed it into Neil's laptop, and Firewired it across to our computer," says Chris. "It was in key. So I have got perfect pitch, everyone, despite what the critics might say. And then we built an arrangement around it. It sounds like some drunk..."
