Manic Street Preacher fans??

[Peter Henry]

A long shot here which will test the knowledge of even the most avid of fans of the Welsh group I reckon.

Ok driving in the car today and I just caught the last 20 seconds or so of a track from this group. Quite a pleasing little ditty it was too.All I can offer is that several lines,Chorus maybe) began with the words.."I wonder..."

Can anyone advise what the name of the track might be as I would really like to listen to the entire song. They have recorded about 300 songs and I know none of them have the words I mention as the title.

Many thanks pop pickers. 8)

I wonder who you think you are
You damn well think you're God or something
God give life, God taketh it away, not you
I think you are the Devil itself

If hospitals cure
Then prisons must bring their pain
Don't be ashamed to slaughter
The centre of humanity is cruelty
There is never redemption
Any fool can regret yesterday
Nail it to the House of Lords
You will be buried in the same box as a killer, as a killer, as a killer

A drained white body hangs from the gallows
Is more righteous than Hindley's crotchet lectures
Pain not penance, forget martyrs, remember victims
The weak die young and right now we crouch to make them strong

Kill Yeltsin, who's saying?
Zhirinovsky, Le Pen,
Hindley and Brady, Ireland, Allit, Sutcliffe,
Dahmer, Nielson, Yoshinori Ueda,
Blanche and Pickles, Amin, Milosovic
Give them respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve

Pinko commie types if you ask me. Hmph.

Pinko commie types if you ask me. Hmph.

Sounds like your kind of band.

[andyaikido]

Err... did Richie Manic turn up eventually? Or was it just a particularly strange dream I had?

Precisely chopper.

I believe the Richie never turned up, and is thought to be brown bread.

Apparently he was seen in Goa. But that was about 10 years ago and the person in question was probably just making it up :)

Can't think of any Manics songs with I Wonder in, apart from Archives of Pain, as mentioned above. It could be off Lifeblood, I suppose, which I haven't listened to very much.

Not so, he works down my local chip shop (*) along with Elvis and Lord Lucan.

Never really got the 'Manics' after Generation Terrorists(?) They seemed to become a
different band.


(*) I think that they also sell bits of Shergar in their pies!

True, all the albums are very different. The Holy Bible being the most bizarre and downright disturbing, and Everything Must Go being the most commercial.

They're all range from pretty good to awesome, depending on what kind of mood you're in. Apart from This is my Truth... that's almost entirely crap.

I found Everything Must Go to be pretty crap TBH. Mediocre pop at best. Very disappointing. Commercial doesnt need to be like that, Suede's Coming Up was commercial, and fully intended to be, but was still a good album, likewise dEUS's Ideal Crash.
I dont know, I might be being harsh, but I had high standards for the Manics (up to that album),

Well, I've gotta be honest. I thought This is My Truth was one of their better albums. Not too dark and disturbing but also not that commercial.

If you want to listen to commercial sellouts try listening to Linkin Park, especially Meteora.

Quite a pleasing little ditty it was too.

I think the fact PH thought it was a pleasing little ditty excludes Archives of Pain from the hunt! :D

Could it have been "Found that soul"?

You can listen to a clip here... http://www.amazon.com/Know-Enemy-Manic-Street-Preachers/dp/B00005AWNW/sr=8-7/qid=1169666212/ref=pd_bbs_sr_7/104-4980387-3518311?ie=UTF8&s=music

Show me a wonder
You can�be sure of
I exist in a place
A self-made vacuum
But still stranded here
With all the scum
So clean, So lost
So beautiful

But I found that soul
Yeah I found that home
But I found that soul

But I found that soul
Yeah I found that now
But I found that soul

Not a subject
Not a subject am I
Sick and pale but
Strangely alive
Broken blood vessels
Line my cheeks
Reflections look bad
And somehow unreal

But I found that soul
Yeah I found that home
But I found that soul

But I found that soul
Yeah I found that now
But I found that soul

But I found that soul
Yeah I found that home
But I found that soul

But I found that soul
Yeah I found that now
But I found that soul

Show me a wonder
Show me a wonder
Show me a wonder
Show me a wonder

Were Linkin Park ever anything other than sellouts? (Honest question...)

[tinpants]

True. Very true. :wink: :D
