SKON singles lyrics

I can't find any thread containing lyrics from SKON single. Can anyone post the exact lyrics from the b-sides tracks of 'Some kind of nothingness' singles? Removables.co.uk and other manics lyrics websites are a bit late on this.

Broken up again:

If your eyes are the window to your soul
If the rules of nature werent so cruel
Give me a chance and I'll try to explain

The pictures on my wall are fading
Those unknown pleasures I was made in
Always brooding on all the damage done

Tell me how many times can a man stifle a cry
Stop himself from waving goodbye
Wave goodbye

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

If your eyes are the window to your soul
If the rules of nature werent so cruel
Give me a chance and I'll try to explain

The pictures on my wall are fading
Those unknown pleasures I was made in
Always brooding on all the damage done

Tell me how many times can a man stifle a cry
Stop himself from waving goodbye
Wave goodbye

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

Red Rubber:

My idle ledgers have fiasco boss
Time to wake up kids of the cold war
Some scars so deep they'll never heal
Reparations pint glass unclean
Civilisation takes up many forms
Usually disguised and fatally flawed

White king - red rubber
Black death are you listening?
White king - red rubber
Free god together, so let's all sing

Oh Leopold, you betrayed our souls
Sold the heart of your country
For all the rubber and all the money
You only preached violence and Christianity
Civiliation takes up many forms
Usually disguised and fatally flawed

White king - red rubber
Black death, are you listening?
White king - red rubber
Free god together, so let's all sing

I thought the lyric in Red Rubber was

'My eyelids as heavy as gold bars'

And I thought it was -

'Freak out together, so lets all sing'

Ah, so it's someone's attempts at deciphering James' pronunciation! They probably are right, I always mishear lots of Manics stuff!

Have a look on Wikipedia, it explains what he done in the Congo, hence the song
Which I love by the way!

I think that has been the case with alot of Manics fans! (See the Misheard Song Lyrics Thread!) Wonder what King Leopald of Belgium's significance is?

He utilised some rather forceful methods on the workers in the Congolese Rubber manufacturing and Ivory trades
