Manic Street Preachers - Comfort Comes Lyrics

Manic Street Preachers Lyrics

"Comfort Comes"

Need someone to nurse me
Reach out for the first person I see
Comforts the helpless sole vanity
Caressing the broken heart of me

The difference between love and comfort
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Brittle and mocking but always there
A crutch for enmities saddest glare

I wish that someone would hold me
Wrap their arms around a shrinking somebody
Comfort comes and ease me till the morning
Whispered words of sanctuary

The difference between love and comfort
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Brittle and mocking but always there
A crutch for enmities saddest glare

Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Brittle and mocking but always there
A crutch for enmities saddest glare

Forgetting how I hate self-pity blonde
Comfort comes and smooths her over
Calloused hands turn a beautiful dress
Handcuffs now her pearl bracelets
