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 JD
If you want to count down, countdown
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 JD
He did not defend himself
He didn't even raise his hand
I will not beg because
This is how I am
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.
"And, and they're never lonely
And sometimes I envy them"

La storia del gruppo è però indissolubilmente legata al mistero che avvolge il poeta e membro fondatore Richey Edwards, scomparso nel 1995 dopo aver registrato solo tre album. Il gruppo continua a pubblicare musica e a esibirsi con successo, mantenendo viva la memoria di Edwards attraverso le sue parole incisive. Tra i brani più rappresentativi: 'Motorcycle Emptiness', 'A Design for Life' e 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next'.
