Manic Street Preachers 8집 - Send Away The Tigers (2007) by Manic Street Preachers (보컬) on maniadb.com

There's no hope in the colonies
So catch yourself a lifeline
Things have gone wrong too many times
So catch yourself a slow boat to china

Fixing some holes from the tigers claws
All your tears will be trembling
Stick those teeth into my back
Seasonal beasts keep them at bay

Can't something go right
Little things change people's lives
Hostile words won't fill your eyes
Same noise left too destroy

Loathsome smile head full of forever's
Will tomorrow bring some perfection
The zoos been overrun in Baghdad
Tiger's claws still in my back

Oh so send away the tigers
Because we're lonely and we're desperate
Oh so send away the tigers
Because they're creeping up and dangerous

I've got problems I've got too many of them
Throw away your yesterdays I did it all for you
Blank horizons & hotels rooms
Cheap Whiskey & god-awful truths
Look at me I'm honest & I'm free
I was born to underachieve

Oh so send away the tigers
Because we're lonely and we're desperate
Oh so send away the tigers
Because they're creeping up and dangerous

This one`s for the freaks
For you`re so beautiful
For all the devotion
Written in your soul

This one`s for the fraks
For the lost and weak
For the butterflies and devotees
And the disciples of our destiny

And like the underdogs we are
Shining bright but now disappeared
And like the underdogs we are
Passing like some fading stars
Like some fading stars

This one`s for the freaks
Beaten down and crushed

The shy and withdrawn
Or just out of touch

May you stay like freaks
May you make mistakes
May your will never break
Fof underdogs revenge is sweet, revenge is sweet

And like the underdogs we are
Shining bright but now disppeared
And like the underdogs we are
Passing like some fading stars
Like some fading stars
This one`s for the freaks
This one`s for the freaks

People like you, need to fuck
To fuck people like me

This one`s for the freaks for the lost and weak
This one`s for the freaks

Your love alone
is not enough not enough
not enough
When times get tough
oh they get tough
they get tough they get tough
Trade all your heroes
in for ghosts in for ghosts
in for ghosts
They're always the
ones who love you
most love you
most love you most
Your love alone
is not enough not enough
not enough
It's what you felt
it's what you said
what you said what you said
You said the sky
would fall on you fall on you
fall on you
Through all the
pain your eyes stayed Blue
they stayed Blue Baby Blue

But your love alone
won't save the world
You knew the
secret of the universe
Despite it all you
made it worse
It left you lonely
it left you cursed
You stole the sun
straight from my heart
from my heart from my heart
With no excuses
just fell apart
fell apart fell apart
No you won't make a mess of me
mess of me mess of me
For you're as blind as a
man can be man can be
man can be

I could have
seen for miles and miles
I could have
made you feel alive
I could have
placed us in exile
I could have
written all your lies
I could have shown you
I could have shown you
how to cry
Your love alone is not enough
Your love alone is not enough

If god persists, persists in saying yes

I guess we have, we have to test ourselves

Maybe this summer will come & clear our minds

to find the impulse to love the sunshine



I guess we have to test

until there's nothing left

We said that truth was fixed

It's lost without a trace



Whose crime is eternity

When time lost is certainty

The indian summer (indian summer)



Maybe this time, we'll kiss and we'll not shake hands

Indian summer still and unbroken

And leave all this material beneath

Remember the reason, the reason that made us be



I guess we have to test what's darker than ourselves

We said that truth was fixed

It's lost without a trace



Whose crime is eternity

When time lost is certainty

The indian summer (indian summer)



I guess we have to test

until there's nothing left

We said that truth was fixed

It's lost without a trace



Whose crime is eternity

When time lost is certainty

The indian summer



The indian summer

The indian summer

The indian summer

The second great depression
Lasted longer than I figured
It stuck around and lingered
Surrounded me and conquered

The second great depression
Left me cold and withered
In your eyes I see it mirrored
I can't believe I let it happen

I thought about it a million times
When you maintained nothing but smile
Remember all those days
I thought about it a million times
When you maintained nothing but smile
When forgiveness was the best
Just forget about the rest

The second great depression
I've tried so hard to shake it
Collapse or come together
What happened to forever?

The second great depression (The second great depression)
Lasted longer than I figured (Lasted longer than I figured)
It stuck around and lingered (It stuck around and lingered)
Divided me and conquered

I thought about it a million times
When you maintained nothing but smile
Remember all those days
I thought about it a million times
When you maintained nothing but smile
When forgiveness was the best
Just forget about the rest

I thought about it a million times
When you maintained nothing but smile
Remember all those days
I thought about it a million times
When you maintained nothing but smile
When forgiveness was the best
Just forget about the rest

Rendition, rendition, blame it on the coalition
All the emeralds that are missing, I wish we still had Jack Lemon
Rendition, rendition I never knew the sky was a prison
It's a long hard revolution, good God I feel like a liberal

[Chorus]
For tomorrow I will beg, steal and borrow
And at the moment I'm jumping at sorrow
I wish I knew what I did wrong
Can anybody hear the screaming of us? The screaming of us
In the long hard revolution

Rendition, rendition, blame it on the coalition
The CIA will stay invisible, good God I sound like a liberal
Rendition, rendition I never knew the sky was a prison
It's a long hard revolution, good God I feel like a liberal

[Chorus x2]

Wear your eyes as dark as night
Paint your face with what you like
Wear your love like it is made of hate
Born to destroy and born to create

Now baby, what've you done to your hair?
Is it just the same time of year
When you think that you don't really care?
Now baby, what have you done?
Done to your hair, done to your hair, done to your hair, done to your hair, hair!

So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Remember the best times are yet to come

Now baby, what've you done to your hair?
Is it just the same time of year
When you think that you don't really care?
Now baby, what have you done to your hair?

Wear your eyes as dark as night
Paint your face with what you like
Wear your love like it is made of hate
Born to destroy: born to create, born to create, born to create, born to create

So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Remember the best times are yet to come

And wear your hair in bunches
And your jacket loose
So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run

So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Remember the best times are yet to come

Imperial bodybags, coming home in dribs and drabs
Life is numbers, with doggy tags
Filled with holes and coming back
So come on up the sky

Never had a chance to wave goodbye
Thrown away and unhappy
Driven by hypocracy

Nothing's finished it just fades away
Like a lover who has lost her faith
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Fades away

[Chorus]
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in home-made flags
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in home-made flags

And here we love the kids
We're still human like everyone else
Stuck in school
Always willing to stick by the rules

Nothing's finished it just fades away
Like a lover who has lost her faith
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Fades away
Fades away

[Chorus x2]

Na na na na na na na na na

Winter lovers, Winter trees
The beauty of, dead industry
The stuff we have saved, so fataly
Comes crashing down, around me

Winter lovers, Winter trees
Winter longing, falling free
Shielding what we need to see
A deep true love of this country

Winter is as winter was
I look this way just because
Winter lovers, love like brothers
Gives us hope for..........

Winter lovers, Winter trees
Winter longing, falling free
Shielding what we need to see
A deep true love of this country

Winter lovers, Winter trees
Winter longing, falling free
Shielding what we need to see
A deep true love of this country

[John Lennon cover]

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
