Manic Street Preachers: Marlon JD.

Its the 8th song off their new album Journal for Plague Lovers. enjoy

He stood like a statue
As he was beaten across the face
With a horse whip
Where the wounds already exist
A well oiled rifle
And never lonely, Marlon JD
If you want to count down, countdown
Give him some dignity

So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.

Learn to live without clutter
To live without luxury
Sometimes I envy them
Goodnight yourself, Marlon JD
He did not defend himself
He didn't even raise his hand
I will not beg because
This is how I am

So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.

"Bare floors, plain white walls.
No window curtains, nothing but essentials.
With no luxuries, no ornamentation,
Utter simplicity.
But it's also clean,
It's clean as a rifle."

So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.

"And, and they're never lonely
And sometimes I envy them"

[smithsfan92]

maybe the JD stands for Jason Donovan. now that would be funny

[Rollo7]

After listening to this album constantly for the last month, I have concluded that this is the best album yet conceived in the

21st century.

Theory: Might the JD refer to J. D. Salinger, author of Catcher in the Rye, of whom Richey was known to be a fan. Both he and Brando lead increasingly recusive lives after early sucess.

@RunawayRocky The entire song is about/inspired on the movie featuring Marlon Brando "Reflections in a Golden Eye"

[museandmanicsfan]

@drav6 I wasn't born during that era! And anyway I have only recently become a fan, and JFPL is probably my favourite Manics album. The Holy Bible has really grown on me since I first listened to it though. It doesn't matter because every Manics album is brilliant and they will continue to make great albums!

@museandmanicsfan

im guessing you were'nt a manics fan during the holy bible era,i used to listen to that album in 94/95 while thinking there's not a soul in the world who understands.

[museandmanicsfan]

I think that Journal For Plague Lovers is better than The Holy Bible, and this song deserves much more credit

[tairanman]

1:46 to 1:58....very holy bible

[catfacesandwich]

@Rollo7 Best since The Holy Bible and I can't see there being anything better for years to come, unless the Manics outdo themselves again.

[lowenism]

Brilliant, on every level. This is thought-provoking music.

[RunawayRocky]

Where is this part from?

"Bare floors, plain white walls.

No window curtains, nothing but essentials.

With no luxuries, no ornamentation,

Utter simplicity.

But it's also clean,

It's clean as a rifle."

[StephenFryphile]
