Let’s Hope MANIC STREET PREACHERS Still Love Us

One of my all-time beloved MANIC STREET PREACHERS
classics is YOU LOVE US from their thunderous debut LP
(a double one) from 1992.

The accompanying culture sluts video clip still is as fab as the day
it came out, featuring the late Richey Edwards who disappeared
mysteriously in 1995. Still sorely missed. R.I.P.

We are not your sinners
Our voices are for real
We realised and won’t be mourned
We gonna burn your deathmask uniforms
We won’t die of devotion
Understand we can never belong
Thrown some acid on the Mona-Lisa’s face
Pollute your mineral water
with a strychnine taste
You love us
You love us
You love us

Great album covers from the past…

‘Journal For Plague Lovers’ by MANIC STREET PREACHERS.
Released 18 May 2009, 11 years ago. It was the band’s ninth
studio album featuring only posthumously published lyrics
by the late great Richey Edwards, who disappeared without
a trace on 1 February 1995.

The record’s cover art is a reproduction of an original painting
called Stare (2005), by Jenny Saville, who also contributed artwork
for the Manics magnum opus The Holy Bible.
