Life Becoming a Landslide (House in the Woods demo) Songtext
von Manic Street Preachers

Childbirth tears upon my muscle
Very first second, a screaming icon
Babies in line, bodies in mortuary
Bodies on auction, cattle in abattoir

My ideal of love comes from
A childhood glimpse of pornography
Though there is no true love
Just a finely tuned jealousy

Life becoming a landslide
Ice freezing, nature dead
Life becoming a landslide
I don′t wanna be a man

Everyday more numb to agony
This the howl, this the sigh of the lonely
One day I realise oil on canvas
Can never paint a petal so, so delicate


My ideal of love comes from
A childhood glimpse of pornography
Though there is no true love
Just a finely tuned jealousy

Life becoming a landslide
Ice freezing, nature dead
Life becoming a landslide
I don't wanna be a man
Life becoming a landslide
Ice freezing, nature dead
Life becoming a landslide
I don′t wanna be a man

My ideal of love comes from
A childhood glimpse of pornography
Though there is no true love
Just a finely tuned jealousy


Life becoming a landslide
Ice freezing, nature dead
Life becoming a landslide
I don't wanna be a man
Life becoming a landslide
Ice freezing, nature dead
Life becoming a landslide
I don't wanna be a man
