"A Houseguest's Wish" is Words On Music's 25th anniversary tribute to the seminal Wire song "Outdoor Miner." Released in 1979 as a 7" single (and appearing in a more skeletal version on their "Chairs Missing" LP), fans and critics have long regarded "Outdoor Miner" as one of Wire's finest moments - and one of their rare early excursions into unbridled, sugar coated pop.

Words On Music has assembled interpretations by 19 artists from five countries (Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Canada, USA) into one stunning and diverse collection ­ translating the song into versions ranging from folk to punk. Some of the bands featured include Adam Franklin (ex-Swervedriver), Fiel Garvie, Lush, The Meeting Places and Junetile - among many others.
