listzembro nº 19

A 19ª lista é dedicada às minhas citações preferidas presentes nas canções ou artwork dos Manic Street Preachers. Se um site feito tão cuidadosamente como o http://www.manics.nl não existisse, este post muito provavelmente também não. A ordem das citações não é relevante, e para variar, são 9. No site referido encontra-se muito mais informação sobre elas.

"Now let the Freedom Train come zooming down the track / Gleaming in the sunlight for white and black / Not stopping at no stations marked colored nor white / Just stopping in the fields in the broad daylight / Stopping in the country in the wide open air / Where there never was a Jim Crow sign nowhere / And no lilly-white committees, politicians of note / Nor poll tax layer through which colored can't vote / And there won't be no kinda color lines / The Freedom Train will be yours / And mine"
