Manic Street Preachers
Marlon J.D.
[Verse 1]
He stood like a statue
As he was beaten across the face
With a horse whip
Where the wounds already exist
A well-oiled rifle
And never lonely, Marlon J.D
If you want to come down, come down
Give him some dignity
[Chorus]
So see, so see
Marlon J.D
So see, so see
Marlon J.D
[Verse 2]
Learn to live without clutter
To live without luxury
Sometimes, I envy them
Goodnight yourself, Marlon J.D
He did not defend himself
He didn't even raise his hand
I will not beg because
This is how I am
[Chorus]
So see, so see
Marlon J.D
So see, so see
Marlon J.D
So see, so see
Marlon J.D
[Bridge]
"Bare floors, plain white walls
No window curtains, nothing but essentials
With no luxuries, no ornamentation
Utter simplicity
But it's also clean
It's clean as a rifle."
[Chorus]
So see, so see
Marlon J.D
So see, so see
Marlon J.D
So see, so see
Marlon J.D
So see, so see
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
"And, and they're never lonely
And sometimes I envy them"
