One of the greatest songs ever written

[@BrickUnit]

more important today than ever before

[@kevinmaher9460]

This song is more relevant than ever! Fight the power!! Cos they are fighting us on every front, the pricks! Literally! 😊❤

Tell this to stupid Greeks, that today elected the same government that has been grinding them down the last 4 years with taxes, even higher prices in Electricity bills, and with every week even higher Supermarket goods’ prices, and with a government playing jokes on young people with part time jobs, and by telling lies that will rise their “tiny salaries “… I can pretty say that my country’s population sleeps stood up like the horses

I went to see the manics at the RAR gig in brockwell park. ( I’m watching on KZbin) . Still relevant.let’s not tolerate this anymore

[@AngelicusImmortus]

There is a poster which has this song’s title on it. It’s from the Spanish war, showing a terrified child clutching a Teddy with bombs falling from the sky behind her. Twitter & Facebook mask it as being “possibly” offensive to some. When you consider what they will show….

[@marklockey4434]

Glastonbury …let the Manics headline next year…they deserve it after this brilliant set.

James’s voice has aged like a fine wine! Iconic! Doing us proud as always ♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The Manics are humble lads, they dont mind playing on the Other stage in the afternoon. The music has always been the most important thing

[@riccardobanelli4940]

This song is a timeless hymn!! ❤❤

[@ediblekorn]

james voice has held up and grown so much especially in the past 10 years. He sounds amazing, and Manics will always be my favorite band of all time.

[@BladeV8]

He's one of the country's greatest vocalists, though I do think he's starting to lose some range in the last few years. Deserves his flowers after the last 30 years!

It is very difficult for a band to sound so good live.. excellent... this song is incredible.. golden age of music..

[@johnh3760]

Loved the song as a kid, not understanding the lyrics. Love it even more now, knowing all thats going on in the world.

[@leadzeppbelly]

I’m exact same. This song came out when I was 9 and I loved it. Took on a whole new meaning as I got older

[@patraist]

So do i

[@matthewstephens6848]

Gonna say, Christ this has aged well. What a message. It's not gonna be my kid, I'm telling ya. Saying that, we've already given it away. Job's done.

Amazing! Voice, sound, arrangements. I loved them in highscool 25 years ago. Now, even more, understanding better the messages they convey and so brilliant live performaces. I missed their concerts twice, the first time I was out of my town where they played the festival, the second time I missed their club concert in big city I shortly lived. F..k!

[@ulku919]

This is so beautiful it makes me want to cry. Long live Manics.

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

The Manics did a terrific set! Was surprised how many great songs they've had! Didn't expect to love this gig as much as I did LOL Really enjoyed it.

[@streetketara]

Brilliant band! They still absolutely deliver! Love from Finland!

[@sonofaseawarrior]

This song is total 🔥 Manics at their very best.

That's the thing about great poetry, it's multi-layered and you can take more than one meaning from it.

[@pauljohn6637]

Great band and song. Nice to see the Welsh support with the flags. My daughter and I traveled from Florida to Silver Springs Maryland to catch them in concert last November. Suede kicked it off followed by the manics. Absolutely brilliant. Met a bunch of Brits there and we rallied around our flag. Bouncers were a pain though, not sure if the guys got to see us🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

Some things take a while to fully appreciate but the best things usually do. When you hear the words and I mean hear them its up there with Imagine, praying for time, straight to hell,feel free to add to the list. What I'm trying to say is we never learn what was will always be because as a population we are fools.
