Manchester England
Hair (2009 Broadway Revival Cast) Lyrics

@eauhomme

@@EverGameStudios Scenes like that just don't fit into the Marvel Universe.

@lynnenewell2016

In the original Broadway musical, Claude Bukowski makes it back in time and he dies. Since this movie was released just 4 years after the end of the Vietnam War, the movie was trying to make an impact statement and since I was a teenager during this time period, I love both stories. My son ended up playing Claude in the Revised Broadway version and he learned in that show and playing the lead in the Broadway version of Miss Siagon that war is never the answer.

@juliawilkinson

Such a moving scene.. a rare time the movie and the musical were both great. My mom had the original Hair Broadway soundtrack on vinyl and I listened to it often in the early 70s. They filmed the scene w the hippies running at the end in DC and my sister was somewhere in that mob.
RIP Treat Willams. ❤❤

@debracaples9431

Raises goosebumps, this scene and song. John Savage's face when he sees the plane taking off with Berger instead of him makes my eyes tear up. Milos Forman made a good call hiring actors who weren't professional singers to play the leads. Treat Williams was priceless.

Strangely, I was singing Manchester England England the day before his passing as I’ve been very excited about an upcoming trip. Then yesterday, I saw the news. I haven’t been able to stop REALLY listening to this song and how relevant the lyrics are to this very day.

When I get to Manchester, I will sing the last verse in homage to Mr. Williams. RIP Treat! Let the Sunshine In!!!

@TheCountryMouse

When Berger (who has no training at all) is trapped like that and is forced to go to war is such a classic nightmare. Like dreaming it's test day and you didn't study... only 1000 times more scary.

@vtheman1850

The way I always read this scene is that Berger is fully aware that he is going to die. But he does it for his friend, because at least in his eyes he's only just discovered what it means to be truly free, and Berger doesn't want to take that away from him.

@bennywolfe4357

That’s pretty funny. Maybe you should watch the movie again.

@debracaples9431

I don't think so. I think Berger just finally had one of his crazy plans fall flat on him. No one knew they were shipping out so soon and his ass is caught in a crack. Bad, bad luck.

@marinecorpswarrior915

One of my favorite part in the movie and to see Trent once again after hearing about his death. His friends standing around his grave sums up all the pain and sadness of the Vietnam war.

@gabrielmaffei7623

We starve, look at one another short of breath,
Walking proudly in our winter coats,
Wearing smells from laboratories,
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy,
Listening for the new told lies with supreme visions of
Lonely tunes.
Somewhere, inside something, there is a rush of
Greatness.
Who knows what stands in front of our lives;
I fashion my future on films in space.
Silence tells me secretly everything, everything.
Manchester England, England
Manchester England, England
(Eyes look your last)
Across the Atlantic sea
(Arms, take your last embrace)
And I'm a genius, genius
(And lips, owe you the 'dors)
I believe in god
(Of breath. seal with a righteous kiss)
And I believe that god believes in Claude,
(Seal with a righteous kiss)
That's me. that's me.
(The rest is silence)
That's me.
(The rest is silence)
That's me.
(The rest is silence)
We starve, look at one another short of breath,
Walking proudly in our winter coats,
Wearing smells from laboratories,
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy,
Listening for the new told lies with supreme visions of
Lonely tunes.
Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar,
"life is around you and in you."
Answer for Timothy Leary, deary.
Let the sun shine,
Let the sunshine in,
The sun shine in.

@chaplainlaing

They were still in use (for training) in 1986 when I entered the military. We had kevlar helmets, but the old "steel pot" helmet with plastic liner was in use from WWII through Korea and Vietnam up until the early 1980's.

@MrsMira13

actually in the origional Berger dont change place with Claude. So in the original its Claude singing "Manchester". Its fits,but Berger singing it is much more intese so in the film they chose to let them change there places to show the pointlessness of war :)

@BananMan69

war isnt pointless tf

@eszterdarnai3702

Forever ! ❤ You will forever live in our heart Berger ❤ 😢sajnálom

@PoReily

Just to clarify that that's actually Berger singing the 'Manchester' bit. Its ironic because it SHOULD be Claude singing it (as thats who it was about earlier) and instead Berger unfortunately swapped places with Claude, unknowing that he was about to be called up. Also, Claude isn't actually from Manchester. That was an 'in-joke' that Berger and Claude had, in the song 'Manchester'

@dainaburke2250

I know folks hate this movie compared to the musical, but THIS part is so intense, I think it hits HARDER than the original. That being said, I still wonder how they would have known his real name on the tombstone at the end if he was pretending to be Claude?

@billsmith6884

He admitted who he was. He burned his draft card at the beginning of the film, so he was actually meant to go to Vietnam. The army just kept him there to serve out his time.

@E-eb6ic

The movie is so good, it’s just different. I get how that’s frustrating for people who wanted a proper adaptation, but you can’t deny that this scene’s a gut punch and the music is still great

@terimcintyre5158

The first album I ever bought was Hair. I think all the versions are valid and wonderful. The early version is good to set the tone....the film version is tragic. All together is sums up life at that time.

@debracaples9431

Daina, I imagine some of his squad brothers said, "Hey, where's Bukowski? Who the hell are you? " What kills me is that they didn't send him home, but that's military intelligence for ya. If they found out he burned his draft card they'd have kept him for revenge.

@SolSister10596

It gets me every time :'( For those who are confused as to why he died, he received no military training whatsoever. Plus, he was a lover. Not a fighter. Which is why he burned his draft card in the first place. That look of silent terror on his face before they leave the bunker always makes me tear up.

@SolusBatty

+Sol Sister He died cause of war, not cause of lack of training, that would imply men who had training couldn't die. Which they did. In droves. Although what he actually died for is the tragic effect of him being the lover not a fighter you mention.
