Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone is Not Enough

Qualche giorno fa mentre giravo sui vari canali musical-televisivi mi capita di scorgere una sagoma a me ben nota. E anche il tipo di musica non mi è nuova. Passa un attimo in cui la mia mente cerca di connettere, di trovare uno spiraglio nel buio. Poi finalmente arriva la luce. Sono loro. I Manic Street Preachers, soltanto The Manics per gli amici. Il loro ultimo disco era talmente brutto che non lo ho quasi ascoltato. A giudicare dal singolo sembrano tornati in forma.


Your love alone – is not enough
When times get tough they get tough

Trade all your heroes in for ghosts
They’re always the one’s who love you most

Your love alone – is not enough not enough
It’s what you felt it’s what you said

You said the sky would fall on you f
Through all the pain your eyes stayed Blue

But your love alone won’t save the world
You knew the secret of the universe
Despite it all you made it worse
It left you lonely it left you cursed

You stole the sun straight from my heart
With no excuses just fell apart

No you won’t make a mess of me
For you’re as blind as a man can be

I could have seen for miles and miles
I could have made you feel alive
I could have placed us in exile
I could have shown you how too cry

Your love alone is not enough
Your love alone is not enough
