Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture JONNY Average	#1 by JONNY PETERS at Feb 11, 1975 at 4:32 AM EST
	You love us like a holocaust! LOL

No Picture Mike Average	#2 by Mike Perron at Mar 22, 1980 at 4:59 PM EST
	Simply put, its an ironic song about the media. The manics were famous for winding up and manipulating the media for their own purpose. "We are not your sinners Our voices are for real" The manics deliberately dressed themselves up as 'sinners' who provided the headlines for hysterical journalists (such as Steve Lamacq at NME). But the irony is that they are not these sinners, they are for real. So in a media sense they aren't for real as their 'sin' is fake, but in every other sense they are for real as it is the media which is false. The 'you love us' lines in the chorus, are directed at the same people, the media loved the manics because they provided a source of hysteria, headlines and a focus for people to idolise. What the manics knew ("we realised" "we won't die of devotion") was that they were idolising something which wasn't real (a "statue" or a "uniform"). Interesting that if you throw acid in the face of a statue it would disfigure it, ironically making it more real as it is fake in the first place.

No Picture Ziggy Average	#3 by Ziggy Newman at Oct 23, 1991 at 6:31 PM EST
	Simply put, it's about fascism.

No Picture Joan Macrise Wanna Be	#4 by Joan Macrise Corrado at Nov 17, 1993 at 2:11 AM EST
	I can't believe nobody's commented on this. It was the quintessential manics song in the days before Richey's disappearance and one of their classics. Love the "our voices are for real" bit. Any true manics fan should understand what i mean there, even if they weren't necessarily talking about that at all.
