Taken from the Manics set at the Rock Madrid Festival in 1992. I apologize for the poor quality (it originally came from VHS). The set is also interspersed with an interview with Richey and Nicky.
ritchie was actually playing there not exactly in time as such but of all the early live bootlegs,video tapes & other manics live stuff he was playing well & can be heard.
wow!!!! that was my very first festival in my town, Madrid! MSP, RIDE, EMF, REM... but MSP were, are and will be my forever favorite band ever!!! went to see them last w/e at Liverpool Arena, and was amazing to see 40-50 average rocking people giving it all like if we were those rebel teenagers!! great atmosphere! fucking love the manics. JDB is the best frontman ever... every chapter in my simple life got one MSP song as a real soundtruck...we love you!! thanks for posting anglopunk!!! (sorry if I wrote any grammatical mistake) :)
Lyrics Culture sucks down words Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles Organise 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 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 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 motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness
