Manics guitarist Richey James Edwards : "We took the title from a book on Van Gogh, although the song's got nothing to do with Van Gogh. It means something like 'the sadness goes on,' and it's about the way life doesn't get any better as you get older. It's always a beautiful image every year when the war veterans turn out at the Cenotaph, and everyone pretends to care about them - but then they're shuffled off again and forgotten.
The Nynex version was FREAKIN AWESOME

I love the Manics, I love this song, but this rendition is lame. Where have they left the anger of the early days?

briliant version but the keyboard playing the riff (especially with that effect) gives this song no justice!
