MANIC STREET PREACHERS LYRICS - Love's Sweet Exile

"Love's Sweet Exile"



between the billboard masturbation across highways of metallic isolation

there lies the deafening screaming of the millions wiping out the diseased pages

of apathy that bleed our innocence...



Love's sweet exile

Love's sweet exile



We blur into images of state coercion

Classified machines die misunderstood

City reflections pour out misery

We don't count cos we hate



Raindown alienation

Leave this country

Leave this country

Raindown alienation

Leave this country

Leave it



Despair seeps through and cuts our eyes

Unified collapse of everything inside

We understand but can't accept

You are not dead cos we hate



Raindown alienation

Leave this country

Leave this country

Raindown alienation

Leave this country

Leave it



Our lives drift into a faceless sense of void

Everything of meaning becomes destroyed

There's too much concrete for us to breathe

We are kept down cos we hate



Love's sweet exile

Love's sweet exile



Raindown alienation

Leave this country

Leave this country



Raindown alienation

Leave this country

Believe it



Love's sweet exile

Love's sweet exile
