MANIC STREET PREACHERS - La Tritesse Durera lyrics

rate me

Lyrics by Richey James and Nicky Wire, music by James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore

Life has been unfaithful

And it all promised so so much

I am a relic

I am just a petrified cry

Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir

The applause nails down my silence

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

I see liberals

I am just a fashion accessory

People send postcards

And they all hope I'm feeling well

I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy

Where they patronise my misery

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

I sold my medal

It paid a bill

It sells at market stalls

Parades Milan catwalks

The sadness will never go

Will never go away

Baby it's here to stay

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
