Manic Street Preachers : Lifeblood
Welsh stalwarts given a polish by classic Bowie producer Tony Visconti
I can still remember the exact moment my perception of the Manic Street Preachers shifted irrevocably down from “three chart-friendly social thinkers with a fondness for Junior honours philosophy”. It was when I logged on to Napster one morning back in 2001 to find that they were attempting to sue me – and thousands of others – for downloading a new song. It was somehow wrong and...

Manic Street Preachers - Lifeblood Lyrics
Manic Street Preachers - 1985 Lyrics
In 1985, I placed a bet and lied
Losing all that I had
At least with all my heart intact
Manic Street Preachers - The Love Of Richard Nixon Lyrics
The world on your shoulders
The love of your mother
The fear of the future
The best years behind you
More Manic Street Preachers - The Love Of Richard Nixon Lyrics
Manic Street Preachers - Solitude Sometimes Is Lyrics
Solitude sometimes is
The place that I would like to live
Solitude sometimes is
When nothing really seems to fit
Manic Street Preachers - I Live To Fall Asleep Lyrics
I live to fall asleep
It's when I stop the hate
I never want to dream
It infiltrates beauty
Manic Street Preachers - Glasnost Lyrics
When did life get so, get so complicated
When did time start, start accelerating
Make life slower
Stop life growing
Manic Street Preachers - Fragments Lyrics
Strung out eyes as cold as worship
Two minutes silence in a century of screams
Tiny massive hands, emphatic lonely soul
Skin against skin and blood against blood
Manic Street Preachers - Empty Souls Lyrics
Empty souls will leave their homes
To find a place where they're alone
Rattling memories and hollow bones
Leaves a taste so bitter and cold
Manic Street Preachers - Emily Lyrics
Emily, Emily, you're gift to me
Emily, a modern sense of beauty
Emily, as precious as your memory
A simple word called liberty
Manic Street Preachers - Cardiff Afterlife Lyrics
If the love between us has faded away
Left in the rain, scratching at the stains
The paralyzed future, the past sideways crawl
I must give up on this, it makes no sense at all
Manic Street Preachers - Always / Never Lyrics
Always, never on my mind
Always, always out of time
Manic Street Preachers - A Song For Departure Lyrics
And all the masks I carry on my face
For you, for another some calm and then some grace
But once within a long and broken night
A face like mine, bereft of dreams and white
Manic Street Preachers - To Repel Ghosts Lyrics
When the disappearing begins
The ghosts we kept within
Can break free from inside
And untie our blindfold eyes
