Manic Street Preachers

Journal For Plague Lovers

Pretend prayer

Pretend care

Makes everything seem so fair

These perfect abattoirs

These perfect actors

These perfect abattoirs

Only a god can bruise

Only a god can soothe

Only a god reserves the right

To forgive those that revile him

Only a god can bruise

Only a god can soothe

Only a god reserves the right

To forgive those that revile him

Oh, such love

Sweet stimulus

PG certificate and cuts unfocused

Stitches and wounds

Doctored divinity

So much love there's blind affinity

Only a god can bruise

Only a god can soothe

Only a god reserves the right

To forgive those that revile him

Only a god can bruise

Only a god can soothe

Only a god reserves the right

To forgive those that revile him
