Manic Street Preachers - The Everlasting Lyrics






The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had
Stop those thoughts control your mind
Replace the things that you despise
Oh you're old I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care
I don't believe in it anymore
Pathetic acts for a worthless cause

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiven the everlasting
Everlasting

The world is full of refugees
They're just like you and just like me
But as people we have a choice
To end the void with all its force
So don't forget or don't pretend
It's all the same now in the end
It was set in a different life
Destroys my days and haunts my nights?

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiving the everlasting
Everlasting

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

Now unforgiving, the everlasting
Everlasting

But now unforgiving, the everlasting
Everlasting

    Well I remember seeing them filming this video at Euston Station, had just bought the album on cassette.. Tried to sneak into the cafe where they were filming.. I remember saying something like James asked us to come in... Needless to say I was refused entry... Don't hold it against them.. Awesome band, quality music makes your heart ache.

  19. G.... L....

    I spent years looking for this song, a crazy search because i knew neither the title of the son nor the name of the group but i was sure it was essential for me to find it. One of the best songs I've ever hard. Finally I had to ask in a chat: does anybody know a song who says something like this: "in the beginning, when we were winning..." "and the singers are in flames"? at last finally somebody told me: "look for manic street preachers", and here I am, finally listening to this beauty at least once a week.

  20. t.... ....

  37. P.... X....

    BestBstBr-for Alll tme

  38. G.... J....

    Their best song for me by far. For me, it reminds me of my local team Ipswich Town who have been through a lot this season and sadly were relegated and how sad and poignant their current situation is. I hope as a Newcastle United fan coming from Ipswich that they will have happier times.

    G.... J....

    Sport is entertainment to distract from our own lives as well

  39. C.... C....

    God is so working through this band with songs like secret society , there for the grace of God , i've found soul , empty souls and this one and an album called the Holy Bible , it shows he has a sense of humor PRAISE OUR FATHER and Bless the Band

  40. G.... J....

    This is absolutely brilliant. I often return to this song if I am feeling melancholic

  41. S.... M....

    Why the characters are catching fire to you?

  48. i.... ....

    I miss you J, I really do... This song remind me of the good old days.

  49. E.... I....

    JDB should go down in history as one of the greatest vocalists ever. This song proves that.

  50. I.... S....

    My favourite Band since i was teenage

  51. V.... G....

    A very strong song!

  52. g.... ....

    I remember listening to this in the early 2000's when I was a young teen, no musical experience has surpassed it.

  53. D.... B....

    CGI was sick in 1998

  54. j.... t....

    Nice video but painfully close to the bone song for anyone over 40 who should but have won but lost.

  55. G.... H....

    My diagnosis MSPdisorder

  56. L.... N....

    2019,,, the everlasting song!!!!!

  57. K.... N....

    I still have all of their CDs (!!), saw them in Cardiff, London and Hamburg and cannot understand why I temporarely lost my focus to their music.
    I switched and became addicted to bands such as Interpol and Editors, but forgetting about this is inexcusable.
    Timeless lyrics, fantastic musical support, no wonder that nowadays no one cares... People are ruled by the Biebers and Oras and seem quite happy. I am happy to get old with dignity and not to belong to this Jumpers...

  58. M.... N....

    Good song

  59. d.... j....

    Great song brilliant Welsh band correction the best welsh band JDB a brilliant vocalist a good tone to his voice

  60. O.... H....

  62. I.... B....

    'Genuine,' has never sounded better.

  63. A.... P....

    Beautiful beyond words

  64. K.... T....

    Not heard this in years. Got the CD somewhere. Love it.

  65. J.... F....

    Thinking of Richey Edwards

  66. R.... B....

    This song just brought the memory of my 1st year in Birmingham University winter 1997. I was doing my 1st degree there.

  67. J.... T....

    a song to remind for a brokenhearted

  68. r.... ....

    I always liked Euston station (although these days it's much too congested with shops). Great song and video.

  69. F.... B....

    my LITTLE empire....

  70. S.... 2....

    20 años y aun amo este disco. 1998, cuando yahoo era dueño del mundo.

  71. M.... C....

    Maravillosa canción!!!

  72. d.... s....

    My memo in this song...so i miss u friends

  73. P.... H....

    1998. I was 10/11 years old.
    Through this single and "If You Tolerate This..." i understand how much i love sad tremolo guitars (someone said David Gilmour?).
    At the time i bought the tape version of this record.

  74. M.... a....

    Classic track! Timeless

  75. G.... S....

    I haven't listened them for years. Beside Hüsker Dü one of the greatest. The 4 man army!

  76. c.... ....

    Clue is in the title 👌 fucking amazing and an eternal timeless masterpiece so typical of these guys ...best band ever! ❤️❤️❤️

  77. R.... H....

    Great being Welsh. Class

  78. T.... S....

    very best song forever but i dont know why 1,900,000 view

  79. O.... P....

    Beautiful song

  80. A.... D....

    Underrated masterpiece, I love this song!

  81. V.... A....

    What's the Amazing Song!!! The Music is Air!!! The Words are Life!!!

  82. I.... S....

    This reminds me on high school... ☀💖💫 lovely memories 💖💫

  83. K.... S....

    💕 So many amazing 🎶 on this masterpiece album 💕

  84. H.... J....

    Manic Street Preachers said once. If you listen to the music it can change your life within in 3 or 4 minutes. Now the unforgiven. The everlasting

  85. V.... T....

    AMAZING SONG!

  86. R.... F....

    Very inspired song!!!

  87. R.... E....

    The single edit annoys me 😑..listen to the full album version, folks✌

  88. D.... P....

    Maybe because I relate myself so much towards this song already since it was released 20 years ago, I have always had the feeling that this song is about our disconnection from each other. Relationships now-a-days have become so full of difficulties and as soon as there are problems, we let go in our endless sigh of easiness in everything, leaving those who really know what love is standing alone and on fire of everlasting desire to belong … together ...

  89. a.... a....

    Times when the musics and videos are better than nowadays.

  90. T.... S....

    Perfect break-up song. Brings back sad memories of 1998.

  91. R.... P....

    Still listening 20 yrs on, so underrated, yet like the song everlasting!

  92. F.... H....

    This album was 20 years too early
