Lyrics Manic Street Preachers

Manic Street Preachers

S.Y.M.M.

The subtext of this song

I've thought about it for so long

But it's really not the sort of thing

That people want to hear us sing

The context of this song

Well I could go on and on

But it's still unfashionable

To believe in principles

South South Yorkshire - mass murderer

How can you sleep at night, sleep at night

South South Yorkshire - mass murderer

How can you sleep at night, sleep at night

The reason for this song

Well maybe it's a pointless one

But thank you Jimmy McGovern

For reminding me of what lives on

The ending for this song

Well I haven't really thought of one

There's nothing I could ever say

That could really take the pain away

South South Yorkshire - mass murderer

How can you sleep at night, sleep at night

South South Yorkshire - mass murderer

How can you sleep at night, sleep at night
