Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness Lyrics






Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air
Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit

Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

  76. s.... ....

    First time I herd 'this song when channel 4 New Zealand was Brit MTV late 97 classic song

  77. i.... ....

    sightseeing in Japan

  78. m.... s....

    one of the best bridges in a song ive heard....they were only 23 or whatever!

  79. T.... M....

    This song makes me think of my time in the English Defence League. I was a member of the English Defence League and would break the law all the time. The crimes I have done was racism, football hooliganism, theft, murder, violent attacks and driving when I am not allowed. I am suspended from countries. I am gay and have a boyfriend. I committed suicide for being bullied. My friends and family didn’t want anything to do with me. The only friends I had were volunteers to at my charity shop and criminals. However me and my gangs that I had didn’t treat each other nice. The other prisoners we didn’t treat each other nice.

  80. m.... s....

    the only song i heard when i was 11 that loved, still do m now

  81. T.... P....

    me :) i visit every few weeks

  82. L.... B....

    g.... B....

  86. l.... t....

    Great song mostly...chorus is superb but bits of it don't match the brilliance of other bits...dunno could be wrong

  87. d.... 4....

    Yes I´m and home sick ........

  88. K.... ....

  90. M.... D....

    I remember seeing this lot in 1992 at reading university and thinking could be big one day and also reminded me of seeing the clash in the late seventies..........

  91. T.... D....

    Total comrades ✊

  92. j.... k....

    what else is new song

  93. J.... B....

    All we want from you are the kicks you've given us..... Maggie's children ask for a meager outpouring of sympathy. I'd rather do the coal miner's bogie......

  94. I.... ....

    I discovered this song last year, yet whenever I listen to it, I feel nostalgic as hell and can´t help it.
