Manic Street Preachers - Born A Girl (With Lyrics)
9th song from the hugely successful album, This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours Do I look good for you tonight Will you accuse me as I hide Behind these layers of disguise And the mirrors of my own happiness I've loved the freedom of being inside Need a new start and a different time Something grows in the space between me And it's twisting and changing this fragile body And I wish I had been born a girl Instead of what I am Yes I wish I had been born a girl And not this mess of a man And not this ...

Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This Your Chidren Will Be Next (With Lyrics)
2nd song from the hugely successful album, This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours The future teaches you to be alone the present to be afraid and cold 'So if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists' Bullets for your brain today but we'll forget it all again Monuments put from pen to paper turns me into a gutless wonder And if you tolerate this then your children will be next And if you tolerate this then your children will be next, will be next will be next will be next Gravity keeps my head ...

Manic Street Preachers - The Everlasting (With Lyrics)
1st song from the hugely successful album, This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours 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 ...
