Manic Street Preachers Lyrics

"Journal For Plague Lovers"

Pretend prayer
Pretend care
Makes everything seem so fair
These perfect abattoirs
These perfect actors
These perfect abattoirs

Only a god can bruise
Only a god can soothe
Only a god reserves the right
To forgive those that revile him

Only a god can bruise
Only a god can soothe
Only a god reserves the right
To forgive those that revile him

Oh, such love
Sweet stimulus
PG certificate
All cuts unfocused
Stitches and wounds
Doctored divinity
So much love this blind affinity

Only a god can bruise
Only a god can soothe
Only a god reserves the right
To forgive those that revile him

Only a god can bruise
Only a god can soothe
Only a god reserves the right
To forgive those that revile him

Only a god can bruise
Only a god can soothe
Only a god reserves the right
To forgive those that revile him
