There's no question that the Manic Street Preachers could be dark. They lightened up as they went along, but boy, that early stuff was stern. This song, '4st 7lb' or 'four stone, seven pounds' for the North American crowd, is the threshold weight for anorexics, under which death is understood to be inevitable. Band member Richey Edwards suffered from anorexia and this song is about him.
