Reception

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Black Garden

    by: Manic Street Preachers

    Glory glory, hallelujah
    Our truth comes marching on
    Swing, swing
    There's a little part of me
    There's a little part of you
    Remember the feeling
    Of a frozen embryo
    There's a bigger part of me
    There's a bigger part of you
    Remember the place where
    You don't want to go
    Welcome into your own black garden
    It's full of life but it's still too frightening
    Can't open my eyes this whiteness blinds
    All this whiteness blinds
    Watch the swallows cloud the sky
    Watch the swallows slowly die
    I used to throw stones
    But now I have none
    Watch the swallows cloud the sky
    Watch the swallows slowly die
    I used to throw stones
    But now I have none
    Waiting to be bread in the black garden
    Waiting to be muted and then chosen
    White trash you're a swinger
    Ugly to the end
    Ugly to the end
    Swing, swing
    (Excerpt taken from the song 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic')
