Manic Street Preachers - A Song For The Sadness Lyrics
Memories are all we leave
Fragments of lost melancholy
Traces of a generation gone
Tiny pieces of broken glass
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 see
I convinced myself
That I don't walk the line
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
He 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 see
I convinced myself
That I have walked a line
I've never deserted
By lack or by design
A song for the sadness
To clean away the badness
A song for the sadness
A song for the sadness
A song for the sadness
To clean away the madness
A song for the sadness
A song for the sadness

You've done it again, Manics. My favourite of the album. 💙
Awesome song 👌
Incredible song. Great lyrics...my current favorite off this album. Anyone know if there was a specific inspiration for these lyrics?
fju2112 That fat wobbly Holy Bible bass sound hello again old friend
Yep. A very affecting song.
Probably Nicky's mother. I know "Hold Me Like A Heaven" is about her, this one seems to be as well.
@Michael Burke ocean spray too
@André Mouzinho yeah, was the first one written by James Dean Bradfield about his mom during her fight with Cancer. Sad song punctuated by anger. There is a sad beauty to it.
