Super Furry Animals - Run! Christian, Run! Lyrics

I wonder if this band was English they would have been more successful commercially, just saying......

Run, filthy fucker, run.

Rapture
Waiting to capture that moment
Postponement
Suspension of rational movement

So bang on the hour of twelve
To the forest clearing we'll delve
With guns to our heads, for we know
That heaven awaits us

Dreaming of that perfect home by the sun
Run, Christian, run
Still dreaming of that perfect home by the sun
Run, Christian, run

Roaming
Roaming from all tribulation
Leaving
Leaving behind all damnation

With women and children in line
The men will then gather behind
With knives to their throats they'll depart
On the midnight train to Jordan

Still dreaming of that perfect home by the sun
Run, Christian, run
Wishing for that perfect home by the sun
Come kingdom come
...

This band has not recieved enough credit for their unique beauty.

PURE WELSH PSYCADELIC ROCK MUSIC

just damn brilliance

Best tune by the best Welsh band and one of the finest British groups ever xxx love them xxx please tour again and make lovely weird tunes.

Excellent song, but the video is as preachy as any Christian.

I'm a Christian but I know good music when I hear it.

I think this could be the best song ever made ....

I thought song this was about Christians fleeing persecution on the Balkans in the 1990s or revolutionary Russia..
Then I thought there were Jonestown massacre like references... I never saw the official video. I'm surprised it's like this.... A bit bleak :-) not that I can disagree with the criticisms..Maybe in a way the point is the narrative Christians love of being martyrs and persecuted (like the Jews) is balanced by their tyrannical violence towards others once they have some power.

Their most thought provoking song for me
..And one of my favourites musically speaking. Used to have this album playing almost every when.I bought it way back in time... On CD!

I thought along the same lines as yourself, I have to have a rethink every few years on re-listens.

This song is heartbreakingly beautiful.

theee most underated band of the 90's up to present day..miles ahead in every aspect.

The best band in the world 😀
