Behave Yourself Baby - Manic Street Preachers

Very Early Manics Song, Ten Imaginary Quid to the first person who realises what the end of this song later became. I think, though i'm not sure that this is from 1989 and is with Richey, not Flicker. The pictures are mostly young manics, not a stunning arrangement i realise but it's mroe about the very un-manics song that is just adorable really. If you're interested, here are the lyrics, though he's fairly easy to understand.

All i want from you is the skin you live within
All i want from you is the skin you live within
All i want from you is the skin you live within
All i want from you is the skin you live within

woahh... thats..different :)

'all we want from you are the kicks you've givem us..'

£10 quid plz. imaginary or not :)

[Cynicalpixie]

Only when you've given me the name of the song it later became :P

Then, and only then have you earned those ten imaginary squids. :D

[headfirstforrevenge]

motown junk?

[Cynicalpixie]

Close but no banana! (May i recommend revision of G.T? - Not that anyone minds doing that!) :D

[su79nioj]

1:17 - 1:41 = Motorcycle Emptiness (the bridge). I hereby claim said pretend internets tenner.

[musicsnobtobe]

Is it Sean playing the trumpet at the beginning d'you reckon?

[SovereignBeing]

wow never heard this before.

[lizlaz350]

@SuperMegabar At some points, I thought it sounded like Nicky too, but I can't be sure. It could just be a young James, haha.

[SuperMegabar]

Wait is this Nicky? it sounds like it. If it is, why the hell does he not sing like this in his solo album? it sounds tuns better!!

[weavehole]

Always said you can't go wrong with some ba ba ba's in a song.

Double it up with a bit of clap-clap clap and youve got a winner, (especially if they sound even mightier than the one's in Space Oddity)

Where did you find this? You're a star for putting it up.

I'm off to watch them in Tokyo next week maybe they'll play it if i ask nicely.

[SovereignBeing]

things were all so innocent then....

[TorysApollo]

am I the only one who gets the urge to skip down the street like in the musicals to this song?

I love this!

[DieSchwartzmann]

There's a bit of Sorrow 16 in this too. The jangly guitar at the end of this sounds similar to the small bit that begins at 0:12 of the studio version of that song.

It's no surprise that Generation Terrorists is such a polished and perfect album. Although it's their debut, the amount of demos they'd recorded shows they were pretty much established musicians by that point.

[MzHannahElizabeth]

what album is this off, i'd so love to get it!

xx

[pennydreadful666]

Motorcycle Emptiness much at the end? Will only accept imaginary tenners from the Bank Of Manics, with Richey's picture in place of the Queen's :)
