for example, what is Facing Page: Top Left talking about ??
and also Marlon JD, is someone existing or is an invented name ??
Why a title like Virginia State Epileptic Colony ?? Some of the manics ever read about it ??
William's Last Words, is a particualr meaning in that song ??

I read the lyrics but they are hard to be translated for me, maybe an article explaining them in a "normal language" will help me...

So of JFPL?

Don't worry, those lyrics are hard/impossible to interpret for everyone. Richey was an obtuse fucker by the end.

Your English is excellent Malmessi, but some Manics lyrics are pretty incomprehensible whatever language you speak! I'm sure I've read interviews with James where he says he doesn't understand half of what Richey wrote.
