Lyrics Manic Street Preachers

Manic Street Preachers

Masking Tape

Black out the whites of all your eyes

Give me the wide spaces that I need inside

I've been a rake recollection and then frame it with loss

Happy alone again with all my photographs

The masking tape that holds our life together

For six months of the year

The masking tape transparent forever

Forever, most of the year

For all the months of the year

Happy black days, now here's the summer

Deadly time left alone with no other

Shivering and hunched, that's me in the corner

Someone calls my name but I don't bother

The masking tape that holds our life together

For six months of the year

The masking tape transparent forever

Forever, most of the year

For all the months of the year

Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer]

Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer]

Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer]

Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer]

Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer]

Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer]

The masking tape that holds our life together

For six months of the year

The masking tape transparent forever

Forever, most of the year

For all the months of the year
