Holy Bible is my favourite album by them by far - very very dark lyrics by Richey

My favourite band, have seen them many times, last being in Brixton earlier this year. Not a fan of the latest albums but the Holy Bible is the greatest alvum ever. Yes, Faster,PCP, Revol

Wherever you go I will be carcass
Whatever you see will be rotting flesh
Humanity recovered glittering etiquette
Answers her crimes with Mausoleum rent

Regained your self-control
And regained your self-esteem
And blind your success inspires
And analyse, despise and scrutinise
Never knowing what you hoped for
And safe and warm but life is so silent
For the victims who have no speech
In their shapeless guilty remorse
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Your meaning, your meaning

No birds - no birds
The sky is swollen black
No birds - no birds
Holy mass of dead insect

Come and walk down memory lane
No one sees a thing but they can pretend
Life eternal scorched grass and trees
For your love nature has haemorrhaged

Regained your self-control
And regained your self-esteem
And blind your success inspires
And analyse, despise and scrutinise
Never knowing what you hoped for
And safe and warm but life is so silent
For the victims who have no speech
In their shapeless guilty remorse
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Your meaning, your meaning

No birds - no birds
The sky is swollen black
No birds - no birds
Holy mass of dead insect

I wanted to rub the human face in it's own vomit... and force it to look in the mirror.

And life can be as important as death
But so mediocre when there's no air, no light and no hope
Prejudice burns brighter when it's all we have to burn
The world lances youth's lamb-like winter, winter

Amazing clonboy, I don't think you really 1) appreciate and 2)admire the beauty and genius of Richeys mind until you see the lyrics written down.

Truly one of the greatest minds of our generation

Yep one of my favorite albums, I listen to it at least once a week you really get to see what pure torment Richey was going through, I did a college project on it and have read into a lot of the making and lead up of the album a true master piece

Remember seeing them at the feile years back - only time i seen them with Richey. Have seen them over 20 times over the years.
Check out La Tristesse Durera from that Set on youtube - the sound engineer was having a mare.
 
Richey was never a great guitarist but an amazing lyrcist. But the sound engineer had Richey's guitar as lead.
 
One of fav bands in my teens early twenties but had falling out of love with them the last few albums and only getting to see them live at festivals in Europe - even covering fecking Rihanna.
 
But 2 months ago played a killer set in small venue in Luxembourg and they blew me away(included Die in the summertime) so much i even paid for their newest album which i think has a few good tunes. That Sat night in the Olympia will be nothing short of amazing.
 
Just better get a ticket now!!!

Have you read 'Everything a book about Manic Street Preachers'? Great read. A tortured soul. As much as I love the bible, a lof of my favourite lyrics come from the first 2 albums. Think Gold Against the Soul is a hugely under rated album

Their cover of random songs, Umbrella, Raindrops, Suicide is Painless, Bright Eyes, Last Christmas etc. Are superb. Lipstick traces was class. My favourite post Richy song is the b side Prologue to History, a tribute from Nicky to his mate

Many hidden gems on GATS life becoming a landslide, drug drug druggy, yourself lyrically brilliant
