Lyrics Manic Street Preachers

Manic Street Preachers

Mausoleum

Wherever you go I will be carcass

Whatever you see will be rotting flesh

Humanity recovered glittering etiquette

Answers her crimes with Mausoleum rent

Regained your self-control

And regained your self-esteem

And blind your success inspires

And analyse, despise and scrutinise

Never knowing what you hoped for

And safe and warm but life is so silent

For the victims who have no speech

In their shapeless guilty remorse

Obliterates your meaning

Obliterates your meaning

Obliterates your meaning

Your meaning, your meaning

No birds - no birds

The sky is swollen black

No birds - no birds

Holy mass of dead insect

Come and walk down memory lane

No one sees a thing but they can pretend

Life eternal scorched grass and trees

For your love nature has haemorrhaged

Regained your self-control

And regained your self-esteem

And blind your success inspires

And analyse, despise and scrutinise

Never knowing what you hoped for

And safe and warm but life is so silent

For the victims who have no speech

In their shapeless guilty remorse

Obliterates your meaning

Obliterates your meaning

Obliterates your meaning

Your meaning, your meaning

No birds - no birds

The sky is swollen black

No birds - no birds

Holy mass of dead insect

I wanted to rub the human face in it's own vomit...

And force it to look in the mirror

And life can be as important as death

But so mediocre when there's no air, no light and no hope

Prejudice burns brighter when it's all we have to burn

The world lances youth's lamb-like winter, winter
