Somedays I'll literally feel like I can't live another Day, then I'll put some music on, or pick my bass up. An hour later I wonder how I coulda bin so fuckin down and so, so alone in this hateful world. Pick myself up and move on. Hey. I know it's 3 months ago, but I totally get where your coming from in your comment. There IS love and kindness our there. It WILL find you and you will find happiness, not emptiness. ARMITAGE.

Reminds of the 90s so much; the best and worst decade of my life.

The first Manics song I ever heard back when I was a teenager. As I recall, I was revising for my GCSEs at the time, and I heard it on the radio one evening and it instantly struck a chord. Something about the song’s melancholic yearning tone really resonated. I went out and bought the single the following week and have been a fan ever since.

Timeless. Really it's their best contribution. Very important song from a very important band❤

Not quite. Hes not saying “nothing is really important” more so just pointing out and exposing the flaws of our current economic system and culture in the modern world. People are more disconnected unhappy and unfulfilled than ever before. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need, because were unhappy with ourselves, why? Because we don’t have the things advertising tells us we should have or look the way advertisers say we should look (through models). This is what the song is talking about when he says “Itemize loathing and feed yourself smiles”. People buy things because they’re unhappy but it never fulfills you.

"this wonderful world of purchase power" - it's about the dead end road that is consumerist materialism. Beautifully melancholic masterpiece

This is exactly what I like about it. It was played on Saturday at Glasto and I was trying to explain to my dad about it as we were watching it on the box. :) I love the recap of this sentiment a few years later post-Richey on everything Must Go with lyrics like "Libraries gave us power... then work came and made us free."

Bullshit though isn't it!? Great song though.

Full lyrics: Culture sucks down words Itemize loathing and feed yourself smiles Organize your safe tribal war Hurt, maim, kill and enslave the ghetto Each day living out a lie Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Life lies a slow suicide Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths From feudal serf to spender This wonderful world of purchase power Just like lungs sucking on air Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Drive away and it's the same Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim Your joys are counterfeit This happiness corrupt political shit Living life like a comatose Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

One of the best bands still available to watch for under £30. Success did not get to their heads. What a fucking song.

This song should be 100 million views.

Always thought this is one of the best songs of all time and still so to this day. When you think of the shit being released elsewhere around this time, it just highlights both musically and lyrically how far ahead of everyone the Manics where and still are.

Missing person : Richey Edwards. He wrote many lyrics as a member of the Manics, and went missing for good, must have been a tortured soul. A life without peace of mind is a nightmare and just exhausting. Richey was intelligent and well read, but he couldnt seem to find peace. He went missing in Feb 1995, i think he probably jumped off the Severn bridge in Wales. Peace of mind is everything in life. I sometimes think that the saying " He who increases knowledge, increases sorrow" is actually a true saying. Because you are too aware of everything, and the more you learn the more questions you have and it can drive you mad. But who wants to live a life of ignorance ? The key is if we can transcend our personal suffering, find a balance, and recognise that the world has problems. Then we can come out the other side a new person, a person with some peace of mind and a way to live. Life is a crazy thing sometimes, and it surprises me sometimes that more people dont have breakdowns if im honest with the way they live their lives, or maybe because they are corporate slaves in nice suits year after year, or really just because of this society that we live in in general, which is one of global inequality and exploitation. But more than anything, life can feel like a struggle for some. Thinking honestly about this world and all that goes on it in, can be hard on the mind. Life can be amazing too. Negativity is not the answer, i have seen where that has taken me in the past. If you have peace of mind, be grateful, because being happy with yourself is everything. Dont make heroes out of damaged people, even if you enjoy their contribution to the world.

+justmadeit2 Best comment. Totally correct about Richey Edwards - I remember he likes wearing skirts, but as an authentic punk, am not saying that judgementally nor critically. I came to the Manics, right from the off, the early stuff: great guitar rock and meaningful, poignant lyrics. After a period of "dropping out" squatting in London, in, amongst others, Waterloo Fire Station, where The Clash played at a party we held one night, setting fire to a VW Beetle whilst singing London's Burning ( unforgettable ), I returned to education, eventually gaining several degrees & PhD. Being knowledgeable, replete with facts, a polyglot, allegedly "intelligent" is NOT Wisdom. It's taken me over half a century to find the kind of inner peace and self-confidence you touched upon, my only regret, not having accomplished this sooner. But that is Life - and NOTHING whatsoever compares to real-life experience. I've seen and lost many along the way - great people, compassionate, giving, but concealing a sensitivity behind masks of bravado which ultimately was their undoing. Maybe my Liverpool-Irish upbringing, the alcoholism, violence, psychopathic mother pouring Castrol GTX round the house threatening to set fire to it with us still inside, a stepfather found decapitated on the main West Coast railway line, drunken father almost killing my grandfather (charged with attempted murder) has NOT hardened me but granted me a degree of perspective preparing me for this Life with its Joy and Beauty but all too often suffering and pain. Peace & Blessings, H
