Algún día les atormentaré con el post definitivo de los Manic Street Preachers pero hoy quiero recuperar su profético single "Natwest Barclays Midlands Lloyds" de 1991. Desde 2008 estoy totalmente convencido que los Manics se equivocaron de década. Su disco "Generation Terrorists" está más vigente cada día que pasa. Y hoy recuperamos esta maravillosa canción donde evocan a los cuatro renombrados bancos ingleses de los 90 como los cuatro jinetes del apocalípsis. Profético.

"Natwest-Barclays-Midlands-Lloyds"

Economic forecast soothe our dereliction
Words of euthanasia, apathy of sick routine
Carried away with useless advertising dreams
Blinding children, life as autonotomes

NatWest, NatWest-Barclays-Midlands-Lloyds
Blackhorse apocalypse

Barclays iron eagle, "33 injection"
Sold to advertisers, computer execution line
They give and take away, repossess and crucify
The more you own the more you are, lonelier with cheap desire
