MANIC STREET PREACHERS LYRICS - Journal For Plague Lovers

"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
