Manic Street Preachers - Gold Against The Soul Lyrics






Somebody told me to vote conservative
Tragedy is not known under this dimmest of lights
Everybody feels sick by the courtesy of dismay
Was I schooled without direction

Gold against the soul
Rock n' roll has a conscience
It supplies convenience
Gold against
Against the soul
Against the soul

Close the pits sanctify Roy Lynk an O.B.E.
Shareholding a piece of this fucking country
Fossilize - make Yorkshire into a tourist resort
And dream of new ways to humble the poor

Gold against the soul
White liberal hates slavery
Needs Thai labour to clean his home
Gold erodes
Erodes the soul
Erodes the soul

A 1000 Marlboro death ignored everyday
And who gives a shit about sexuality

Gold against the soul
Working class cliches start here
Either cloth caps of smack victims
Gold destroyed
Destroyed the soul
Destroyed the soul

  1. J.... F....

    For a 26 yr old song, it’s sooo fresh it sounds like it’s been made yesterday 😳 timeless ❤️

  2. B.... D....

    One of the great rock tracks of the 1990s.

  3. L.... R....

    I love all the songs on this album! Pure master pieces!

  4. I.... J....

    They sound like a hair metal band in this.......not a bad thing.

  5. B.... B....

    Best MSP album ever.

  6. P.... 1....

    เฉียบ

  7. E.... w....

    I feel like I'm missing, pieces of sleep

  8. P.... M....

    Well at least we all agree it's a killer album

  9. J.... ....

    By far one of their best albums IMO, even if loathed by critics and the band alike!

  10. A.... C....

    Awesome album

  11. R.... ....

    In an interview this year, Nicky says they've been rehearsing Sleepflower again, and Broken Algorithms from the new album has this feel about it.

  12. C.... S....

    This song rocks my FACE.

  13. R.... S....

    I still don’t know why James doesn’t like this song 🤷🏻‍♀️

    R.... S....

    He is a perfectionist with the music. It sounds fine to me but probably not to him.

    R.... S....

    He didn't like when the band went 'metal' Patrick Bateman he also hates.

  14. H.... G....

    what a song.

  15. S.... M....

    What an amazing track. Such an underrated track in their back catalogue. James is such an amazing guitarist. Brilliant riffage. Heavy Metal indeed. As heavy as any metal band.

    S.... M....

    James has the same reaction to all the metal-sounding MSP songs! A shame really, because most of his BEST guitar work was to be heard on the first three albums! This will always be my favourite era of the band before the success of 'Everything Must Go' and beyond.

    S.... M....

    Underrated track AND underrated guitarist!

    S.... M....

    Great guitarist and vocalist. Very underrated, yeah

  16. k.... ....

    So fucking good

  17. M.... R....

    Still amazing.
