OSWALD IS INNOCENT!!

Best song on that album. Can t believe it was not a single
-
It's a Welsh band, but yes, the song is about Oswald's assassination of Kennedy.
-
Still the best band everrrrrr & its never gunna change!!!
-
UK band, specifically from Wales. It is a song about individual or people taking the fall so that the public won't see the big picture of an event i.e Lee Oswald, Tony Montana etc...At least that is my interpretation.
-

Well, you're gonna have to be more specifik on why he was such a fucking idiot before I can start proving you the opposite.

A Patsy is like the fall guy, or a sucker. The Manics wrote the song based on Lee Harvey Oswald and wanted to use the sound bite of him saying 'i'm just a patsy' but they weren't allowed and James had to record it instead!

Yes they do. All I was saying is that they wanted to use the sound bite of LHO but they weren't permitted so James had to use his voice instead.
