Libraries gave us power
Then work came and made us free
What price now for a shallow piece of dignity

I wish I had a bottle

Manics playing this song at Leeds Fest 08 was fabulous. It was the very last band I saw and it was their final track. Perfect

Probably my favourite Manics song. They've got a few good songs, but they've sold out now, and were always a bunch of pricks!

i saw them play this song on the Reading Festival highlights on BBC3 the other night, its weird cos its one of those songs i instantly recognise when it gets to the chorus but i dont remember ever listening to it....im only 16 so my dad probably played it during my childhood and it really takes me back to the 90s :)

Almost the greatest song of all time, an anthem for the 90s.

I agree with skmelanie - one of their greatest ever. What a comeback it was, given the circumstances!
