A Song for the Sadness (demo) Songtext
von Manic Street Preachers

Memories are all we leave
Fragments of lost melancholy
Traces of a generation gone
Tiny pieces of broken glass

Sh-sh-sh-shining like golden glitter
Looking up at the dying stars
Unloved by all who pass this way
I never really got a chance to say

Like islands in the stream that get washed away
One more time in the ghetto you say
I′ve convinced myself that I have walked the line
I've never deserted by luck or by design

A song for the sadness
To clear away the madness
A song for the sadness
A song for the sadness


You made me with a true kindness
That I still feel runs through my flesh
Out of us time made such a mess
I can′t ignore and I must confess

Like islands in the stream that get washed away
One more time in the ghetto you say
I've convinced myself that I have walked the line
I've never deserted by lack or by design

A song for the sadness
To clean away the madness
A song for the sadness
A song for the sadness

A pilgrimage, a grain of sand
A vain attempt to understand
I feel your package will always bring
The compromise, the endless brink

Memories are all that we leave
Dancing like the last deceived
Dancing along for you and me
Dancing for every free belief


A song for the sadness
To clear away the madness
A song for the sadness
A song for the sadness
