It’s an amazing transformation for the band when you see how they started out.

This original version of the single, released in 1991, a year before Sony’s re-release breaks into Iggy’s “Lust For Life” at the end. This was replaced on the album version with an extended guitar solo.

The Manics dedicated the song to boxer Félix Savón when in 2001 they became the first western rock band to perform in Cuba.
