.Commie rock + sample lyric
Manic Street Preachers(Holy Bible) - 
'IFWHITEAMERICATOLDTHETRUTHFORONEDAYITSWORLDWOULDFALLAPART'
     "Cool groovy morning fine
      Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
      I love a free country
      The stars and stripes and an apple for mommy
      ..Fuck the Brady bill
      Fuck the Brady bill
      If God made man they say
      Sam Colt made him equal"

Million Dead(A Song To Ruin) - 'I Am The Party'
       "You can tell by the way that i move my feet
        that im a genuine insurrectionary
        Its a kind of nervous shuffle
        that contrasts so well with bolshevik bravado..
        ...i am the politburo
        i aam the velvet revolution", 

Rage Against The Machine(Battle of LA) - 'Guerrilla Radio'
       "Silent play in the shadow of power
        A spectacle monopolized
        The cameras eyes on choice disguised
        Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
        Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?
        Yes a spectacle monopolized
        They hold the reins, stole your eyes
        All the fistagons the bullets and bombs
        Who stuff the banks
        Who staff the party ranks
        More for Gore or the son of a drug lord
        None of the above fuck it cut the cord"



“It’s like an alarm clock’s gone off, and I’ve just got
to get away. I think it was John Lennon who said: “Life
is what happens when you’re making other plans.”, and 
that’s how I feel. Although he also said: “I am the 
Walrus I am the eggman” so I don’t know what to believe.”

The best thing I have ever seen on TV. think of any positive 
adjective. pff i cant do it justice here.  go to website and read 
quotations/listen sound. i dont know if they make sense out of context
because i can picture the image that goes with every one.


“Who’s been thinking of leaving?”
“I have.”
“Well that's just stupid, you’ve got a job here for life.”
“Yeah, actually I don’t want to spend my life answering phones in some 
crappy sub-branch paper merchants.”
“Dawn, work hard enough, and you could be answering those phones in 
head office, or a better paper merchants.”


“If you like top trumps you should come to me. I got about five 
different sets. Don’t try to beat me on monster trucks though cos you 
won’t. My specialty.”
“Yeah, well it’s a game of chance though-”
“No, it’s not. I would know what cards you got, immediately, just 
through which cards I got. I used to play it, just by myself, dummy 
hand, just testing out every different scenario, which cards beat 
which other cards for hours, three or four hours at a time. But put in 
the work, the rewards are obvious.”




“Team leader don’t mean anything mate.”
“Excuse me, it means I’m the leader of a team.”
“No it doesn't-it’s a title someone’s given you to get you to do 
something they don’t want to do, for free. Right? It’s like making a 
div kid at school milk monitor. No one respects it.”
“I think they do.”
“No they don’t Gareth.”
“Er, yes they do, because if people were rude to me then I used to 
give them their milk last, so it was warm.”



“In fact, a postage stamp is legal tender. A bus driver would have to 
accept that as currency.”
“Yeah, that’d happen.”
“Well, if he doesn’t, report him.”
“Yeah, I’ll report him while I’m walking home.”
“Get a taxi, if you’ve got enough stamps.”
“or cash ‘em in at the Post Office.”
G“Shouldn’t have to. Shouldn’t have to.”


“I don’t know where we’re going tonight. Obviously Finchy’s a 
sophisticated guy, and Gareth’s a culture vulture, so will it be 
opera, ballet, I don’t know. I think the RSCs in town, so er... having 
said that at Chasers it hooch for a pound and wonderbras get in free 
night.”


“The people you work with, are people you were just thrown together 
with. You don’t know them, it wasn’t your choice. And yet you spend 
more time with them then you do your friends or your family, but 
probably all you’ve got in common, is the fact that you walk around on 
the same bit of carpet for eight hours a day. And so, obviously, when 
someone comes in, who you, you have a connection with-yeah. And Dawn 
was a ray of sunshine in my life. It meant a lot. But if I’m really 
being honest, I never really thought it would have a happy ending.
I don’t know what a happy ending is. Life isn’t about endings is it? 
It’s a series of moments, and erm...it’s like if you turn the camera 
off, it’s not an ending is it? I’m still here, my life’s not over. 
Come back here in ten years, see how I’m doing then. Because I could 
be married with kids, you don’t know.
Life just goes on.”


“You always get the odd person who doesn’t appreciate what you’re 
doing, shouts silly things.”
“What sort of things?”
“You beardy twat. Pug-nosed gimp. Lard Boy-and I go ‘Yeah what have 
you ever done on telly? nothing, so don’t...’.”



“This is the poem Slough, by Sir John Betjemen, probably never been 
here in his life. 
‘Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough,
 it isn’t fit for humans now.’ 
Right, I don’t think you solve town planning problems by dropping 
bombs all over the place, he’s embarrassed himself there. Next;
 
‘In labour saving homes with care,
 their wives frizz out peroxide hair,
 and dry it in synthetic air,
 and paint their nails-’
They wanna look nice, what’s the matter, doesn’t he like girls? 

‘And talks of sports and makes of cars,
 and various bogus Tudor bars, 
 and daren’t look up and see the stars, 
 but belch instead.’ 
What's he on about? What, has he never burped? 

‘Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough, 
 to get it ready for the plough. 
 The cabbages are coming now, 
 the earth exhales-’ 
He’s the only cabbage round here. And they made him a knight of the 
realm. Overrated.”


“Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don’t know 
whether you’re in a trough until you’re climbing out, or on a peak 
until you’re coming down. And that’s it you know, you never know 
what’s round the corner. But it’s all good. ‘If you want the rainbow, 
you’ve gotta put up with the rain.’ Do you know which philosopher said 
that? Dolly Parton. And people say she’s just a big pair of tits.”
