From Despair To Where
Manic Street Preachers
...FROM DESPAIR TO WHERE... by Manic Street Preachers ---------------------------.......................... *from ’Gold Against the Soul’ (1993)* Verse 1: I write this alone on my bed; I’ve poisoned every room in the house. The place is quiet and so a-lone Pretend there’s something worth waiting for. There’s nothing nice in my head; the adult world took it all a-way. I wake up with same spit in my mouth; I cannot tell if it’s real or not. Chorus 1: I try and walk in a straight line. An imi-tation of digni-ty. From despair to where? From despair to where? Interlude: (x2) Verse 2: Out-side open mouthed crowds pass each other as if they’re drugged. Down pale corridors of rou-tine where life falls una-toned. The weak kick like straw ’till the world means less and less. Words are never e-nough; just cheap tarnished glit-ter. Chorus 2: I try and walk in a straight line. An imi-tation of digni-ty. From despair to where? From despair to... Bridge 1: Where... (x2) Chorus 3: A cripple walks in a straight line. An imi-tation of digni-ty. From despair to where? From despair to where?
