La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh) (House in the Woods demo) Songtext
von Manic Street Preachers

Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so, so much
I am a relic
I am 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
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
I might seek my life prognosis

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

I sold my medal, it paid a bill
It sells at market stalls, sells at market stalls
Oh, the sadness will never go
Will never go away, never go away

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
Yeah
