* ''Journal for Plague Lovers'' ends with the sombre "William's Last Words", which as the title implies seems to be a musical suicide note, or perhaps the last thoughts of a dying man. It ends the album on a sombre note...at least, until we reach the bonus hidden track, "Bag Lady", which is ''awesome''. It's a bass-driven post-punk song reminiscent of {{Music/Magazine}} or GangOfFour that opens with the affirmative line "'''I am not dead.'''" The song's lyrics are no less depressing, discussing the impermanence of beauty and ultimately one's own existence, but to hear the line "I am not dead" immediately after a song about a person that is dying is ''powerful''.
