Manic Street Preachers Marlon J.D. lyrics

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 count down, count down
Give him some dignity

So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.

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 hands
I will not beg because
This is how I am


So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.
So see, so see Marlon J.D.

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

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

And, and they're never lonely
And sometimes I envy them
