Manic Street Preachers - Postcards From A Young Man Lyrics
I don't believe in absolutes anymore
I'm quite prepared to admit I was wrong
This life it sucks your principles away
You have to fight against it every single day
They may never be written or posted again
These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again
It is like so many other things
As distant as your former sins
So sad and lonely and so derelict
As the optimism that we once shared
These are the postcards from a young man
These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again
I'll send you postcards every single day
Just to prove I still exist
This world will not impose its will
I will not give up and I will not give in
And I will not give up and I will not give in
I won't betray your confidence
I won't pretend my way was lost
This world will not impose its will
I will not give up and I will not give in

Beautiful lyrics
wish I was home tonight.... real, I am
post cards from memory, my letters too...
forever young,...
not sickly white, just perfect bright!
I love you richey
laser brown concealed bs. propaganda...&
I don't believe the absolutes anymore....those that do usually shape the weather for good or ill if they persevere. If you want a fair society for all, it's best not to let go of the absolutes. The rich never forget what they believe but the Manics ambivalence suggests they have forgotten a few things about conviction.
This is very underrated band.
First Class
Now I make everything new

I've adored this band since I was 16 years old. I have "This world will not impose its will, I will not give up & I will not give in" as a tattoo. Love them, love this song. <3

Sincerely,
a Manic from Italy <3
I'm a Manic.. met a fellow Manic in Utah
these lyrics... i'm struggling every single day to stay young but its not that easy. i'm trying not to forget where i always wanted to go but, they keep me busy with their nonsense and try to mess with my mind. i will not tolerate this.
I live in Athens, Greece and this is for my three year old son.
Too true ...I prefer to call the new generation .
Generation " feralists " -
"rock out with ya zimmerframe " !!! HARGH !

I Love You Manic Street Preachers
Top band with another top track!!!!
@depecher68 Saw them at the end of 2010, on the Postcards tour, they were fantastic, hope you enjoy and hope they were as good as in 99! :D
Such a fantastic song! Will see them live on April 2012, can hardly wait as last time I saw them live was in 1999 :-)
anyone know why this album was never released in the U.S.? wacky....and sad. Had to special order it myself
Wow surprisingly few views, the state of the music industry never ceases to depress me.
Respond to this video... Screw Adele i came here to listen to proper music!!
@shatap12 9 people now
This band have been through so much. They are incredible songwriters and musicians it's like music means everything to them. I've seen them live over 15 times and see Jame & Nicky sometimes around Cardiff. Each time I see them live it's so euphoric. Can't wait to go again.
KOCHAM TO!
Please come to New Zealand :D
God bless the Kings of Wales :-)
Love to know where some of this was filmed. Saw the boys back at the Bournemouth Academy back in Oct last year. I've seen loads of bands and I must admit they are the best I've ever seen....looks like where we were...massive respect.
@nimboestrato jaajaja issis come to Spain ;)
I`m going to go see this band perform tomorrow... A great band, no question about it.
stupid adverts ruin it fucking baggy trousers
I think this album proves that just because you want to reach mass communication and want more people to listen, doesn't mean you have to compromise with rubbish music.
Great Song... Always replenish my energy with this.
long live Wales long live Manics
maailman paras orkesteri
Love!!
cool song! 6 dumb people.
cool song!
I heard this live the other night and it blew me away. Haven't stopped singing it since.
I LOVE IT! <3
Brilliant song
Great video. Makes you wonder how that gank video for the single before slippled through the net.
mast song
they are sooo underrated!!!!
bellissima canzone scoperta grazie al videoclip sul MILAN CAMPIONE D'ITALIA di Davide Rampini :))
@saymynameandgoahhhhh what do you mean with all the 18 year olds they want?

One of the best albums I have ever heard.
un peu ennuyeux tout ça !
I love this song!
