Manic Street Preachers

(slash)

You've been this way since school

Dysfunctional, translucent
Royalty on your wall
So desperately mundane
They're inbred baby just like you
But you'd love the chance to eat their food
Even though it has been chewed

(electric at top, acoustic at bottom, together with intro)
Royal correspondent
Sad and lonely
Royal correspondent
Kills her daily

(same as verse 1)
Dream of the Daily Mail
It is the Holy Grail
And then the BBC
Your life would be complete
(same as first pre-chorus)
Build a fountain, wash away the poor
Just as long as your motives are pure
Hold on tight or you just might lose her
REPEAT CHORUS

Riff 1

Eb5(1) D5(1) Eb5(1) Riff 1
Smarter than the rest

Smarter than the rest
