Designed To Live, Love, Sleep Together

Ah baby, I'm so glad you took a nap. I love you my sleepy kitty. Your doggie also took a sleeping tumble on the dancing floor this cold Moanday, heavily-sweatered, raining here cats and dogs.

Oct 31, 2023

How sweet, don’t you think, I happen to be your blanket, you felt it correctly, you my pillow.

We are definitely Manic Street Preachers, on the dancing floor, obviously! Oh, you meant our bed? So let their great music accompany us in our love slumber together. We’re just designed to live, love, sleep together. These are our best songs, we are definitely Manic Street Preachers, on the dancing floor, love embraced, love graced.

Culture sucks downwards
Itemize loathing and feed yourself smiles

Organize your safe tribal war
Hurt, maim, kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths

From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air
Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness

Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim

Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit

Living life like a comatose
Ego-loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Everlasting nothingness

Childbirth tears upon her muscle
Very first second a screaming icon
Babies in time barely even recognize
Words that once stroked now bruising tired lips

My idea of love comes from
A childhood glimpse of pornography
Though there is no true love
Just a finely tuned jealousy
Life becoming a landslide
Ice freezing nature dead
Life becoming a landslide
I don't want to be a man

Everyday more numb to agony
This the howl this the sigh of the lonely
One day I realize oil on canvas
Can never paint a petal so so delicate

My idea of love comes from
A childhood glimpse of pornography
Though there is no true love
Just a finely tuned jealousy
Life becoming a landslide
A mile empty inside
Life becoming a landslide
Desire on its knees
Life becoming a landslide
A mile empty inside
Life becoming a landslide
Desire on its knees

In 1985, I placed a bet and lied
Losing all that I had
At least with all my heart intact

In 1985, Orwell was proved right
Torville and Dean's bolero
Redundant as a sad welsh chapel
In 1985, in 1985

So God is dead, like Nietzsche said
Superstition is all we have left
Circle the wagons, we're under attack
We've realized there's no going back
We've realized there's no going back

In 1985, the Civil War failed why?
Kept hidden like scars of birth
Nature unable to soften the words.

In 1985, my words they came alive
Friends were made for life
Morrissey and Marr gave me choice
In 1985, in 1985

So God is dead, like Nietzsche said
Only 16 years of age, he said
See all the tears, for the walking dead
We've realized there's no going back
We've realized there's no going back

In 1985, I placed a bet and lied
Losing all that I had

The sky is falling in on you,
Crushed any happiness you knew,
That tree gave more to you than love,
It's still there, but baby you've gone.

Remember you, stretched out in the sun,
All alone forever, conclusions forgone,
Will you find some kind of nothingness?
Still and lonely, like an old school photograph.

Laid yourself out under the stars,
Some peace at least, so don't be sad,
A fitting end to your end,
But maybe death's our only friend.

Remember you, stretched out in the sun,
All alone forever, conclusions forgone.
Will you find some kind of nothingness?
Still and lonely, like an old school photograph.

Your future glory's all empty of thoughts,
This beauty, feeling nothing at all,
It's what you wanted, it's what you got,
Your final search for truth has stopped.

This beauty, feeling nothing at all,
Never, never, never stop
Never, never, never stop
Never stop,
Never stop,
Never, never, never

Remember you, stretched out in the sun,
All alone forever, conclusions forgone.
Will you find some kind of nothingness?
Still and lonely, like an old school photograph.

The sea, your room, your God
The interior, world you loved
You turned faces into icons
But the mirror killed all your freedom

Quiet, steady and unique
Opposites united by blood and deed
Boredom, your biggest enemy
Left your heart on the beach in Tenby

I'll be remembered as your brother
All my work adds up to nothing
You ignored the revolutions
They just led you nowhere

The secret he had missed
Was lying at his fingertips
Thе girl in the long, blue dress
Cast a spеll and left us blessed

Lost your heart and soul in France
Prayed so hard that love would last
Bohemian with no control
If only you had your sister's soul

Never had the chance to reconcile
Living separate and lonely lives
If only we could meet again
We could find a different end

I'll be remembered as your brother
All my work adds up to nothing
You ignored the revolutions
They just led you nowhere

The secret he had missed
Was lying at his fingertips
The girl in the long, blue dress
Cast a spell and left us blessed

Walls defeated by the sea
Still resonate an imperfect dream
The whispering waves still cleanse and clean
They can't wipe away what you've seen

As your brother
Add to nothin'
Revolutions

The secret he had missed
Was lying at his fingertips
The girl in the long, blue dress
Cast a spell and left us blessed

Walls defeated by the sea
Still resonate an imperfect dream
The whispering waves still cleanse and clean
They can't wipe away what you've seen

Libraries gave us power
Then work came and made us free
What price now
For a shallow piece of dignity

I wish I had a bottle
Right here in my dirty face
To wear the scars
To show from where I came

We don't talk about love
We only wanna get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end

A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life

I wish I had a bottle
Right here in my pretty face
To wear the scars
To show from where I came

We don't talk about love
We only wanna get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end

A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life

We don't talk about love
We only wanna get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end

A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
A design for

The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had
Stop those thoughts, control your mind
Replace the things that you despise

Oh, you're old, I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care
I don't believe in it anymore
Pathetic acts for a worthless cause

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiven
The everlasting
Everlasting

The world is full of refugees
They're just like you and just like me
But as people we have a choice
To end the voids with all its force

So don't forget or don't pretend
It's all the same now in the end
It was said in a different life
Destroys my days and haunts my nights

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiven
The everlasting
Everlasting

"Me totemo utsukushii desu ne
Totemo utsukushii me wa shitemasu"

It's easy to see, it's easy to see
To see only white where colour should be
It's easy to feel, it's easy to feel
But it's not good enough, even though it's real

Oh please stay away
And then we can drink some Ocean Spray
Oh please stay away
And then we can drink some Ocean Spray

It's easy to breathe, it's easy to grieve
To breathe only air where life should be
It's easy to laugh, it's easy to cry
To cry so so hard that it can't be denied

Oh please stay awake
And then we can drink some Ocean Spray
Oh please stay awake
And then we can drink some Ocean Spray

Things get clear when I feel free
When whatever's next comes easily
When gentle hands give life to me
When your eyes fill with tiny tears

When I'm this still you are my life (when I'm this still you are my life)
So at ease in the midnight sky (so at ease in the midnight sky)
But my insides will look like war (my insides will look like war)
Paralyzed except through my thought

So why so sad?
You live and you love
So why so sad?
Dependent on above
Searching for the Dead Sea Scrolls
So why, so why so sad?

My smile as real as a hyena's (my smile as real as a hyena's)
Burns an expressway to my skull (burns an expressway to my skull)
But I'll stick myself together again
Spirit so low that I no longer pretend

So why so sad?
You live and you love
So why so sad?
Dependent on above
Searching for the Dead Sea Scrolls
So why, so why so sad?

So why, so why so sad?
So why, so why so sad?
So why, so why so sad?

The world on your shoulders
The love of your mother
The fear of the future
The best years behind you
The world is getting older
The times they fall behind you
The need it still grows stronger
The best years never found you

The love of Richard Nixon, death without assassination
The love of Richard Nixon, yeah they all betrayed you
The love of Richard Nixon, death without assassination
Yeah they all betrayed you
Yeah and your country too

Love build around the sandy beaches
Love rains down like Vietnam's leeches
Richard the third in the White House
Cowering behind divided curtains

The world is getting older
The times they fall behind you
The need it still grows stronger
The best years never found you

Ah, the love of richard nixon, death without assassination
The love of Richard Nixon, yeah they all betrayed you
The love of Richard Nixon, death without assassination
Yeah they all betrayed you
Yeah and your country too

The love of Richard Nixon, death without assassination
The love of Richard Nixon, yeah they all betrayed you
People forget China and your war on cancer
Yeah they all betrayed you
Yeah and your country too

In all the decisions I have made in my public life,
I have always tried to do what was best for the nation.
I have never been a quitter

For you, my dear sister
Holding onto me forever
Disco dancing with the rapists
Your only crime is silence

Can't work at this anymore
Can't move, I want to stay at home
Tied up to all these crutches
Never far from your hands

Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me
Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me
Can't speak, can't think, won't talk, won't walk

Doctors tell me that I'm cynical
I tell them that it must be chemical
So what am I doing, girl?
Cry into my drink, I disappear

Eyes for teeth grating over me
Bring down the shadows of my mind
Sleep and breathe under our sheets
Inhale the anxiety in-between, in-between, in-between, in-between

Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me
Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me
Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me
Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me
Through September, under the weather

In-between, in-between
In-between, in-between

Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me
Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me
Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me
Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me
Take the GI's, I will have the spies

I don't believe in absolutes anymore
I'm quite prepared to admit I was wrong
This life it sucks your principles away
You have to fight against it every single day

These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again
These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again

It is like so many other things
As distant as your former sins
So sad and lonely and so derelict
As the optimism that we once shared

These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again
These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again

I'll send you postcards every single day
Just to prove I still exist
This world will not impose its will
I will not give up and I will not give in
And I will not give up and I will not give in

I won't betray your confidence
I won't pretend my way was lost
This world will not impose its will
I will not give up and I will not give in

No one likes looking at you
Your lack of ego offends male mentality
They need your innocence
To steal vacant love and to destroy
Your beauty and virginity used like toys

My mind is dead, everybody loves me
Wants a slice of me
Hopelessly passive and compatible
Need to belong, oh, the roads are scary
Hold me in your arms
I wanna be your only possession

Used, used, used by men
Used, used, used by men

All they leave behind is money
Paper made out of broken twisted trees
Your pretty face offends
Because it's something real that I can't touch
Eyes, skin, bone, contour, language as a flower

No god reached me, faded films and loving books
Black and white TV
All the world does not exist for me
If I'm starving, you can feed me lollipops
Your diet will crush me
My life, just an old man's memory

Little baby, nothing
Loveless slavery, lips kissing empty
Dress your life in loathing
Breaking your mind with Barbie Doll futility

Little baby nothing
Sexually free, made-up to breakup
Assassinated beauty
Moths broken up, quenched at last
The vermin allowed a thought to pass them by

You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould

Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany
Culture alienation, boredom and despair

You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould

Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany
Culture alienation, boredom and despair

I write this alone on my bed
I've poisoned every room in my house
The place is quiet and so alone
Pretend there's something worth waiting for

There's nothing nice in my head
The adult world took it all away
I wake up with the same spit in my mouth

I cannot tell if it's real or not
I try to walk in a straight line
An imitation of dignity

From despair to where
From despair to where

Outside, opened mouthed cows
Pass each other as if their drugged
Down pale corridors of routine
Where life falls unatoned

The weak kick like straw
'Til the world means less and less
Words are never enough

Just cheap tarnished glitter
I try to walk in a straight line
An imitation of dignity

From despair to where
From despair to where

A cripple walks in a straight line
An imitation of dignity

From despair to where
From despair to where
