The Manics Lyric Swap thread

This is just a bit of fun to pass the time while we wait for futurology to land.

Take any manics lyrics from any song and create your own song!

Covers or solo songs are not permitted!

Children can be cruel she said
So I smashed her round the fucking head
Libraries gave us power
It's not war just the end of love

We dont want your fucking love
I hope that you can forgive us
Your love alone is not enough

For sale, dumb cunts same dumb questions
Stub cigarettes out on my arms
Some kind of nothingness
I write this alone on my bed
I've poisoned every room in the house


We dont want your fucking love
I hope that you can forgive us
Your love alone is not enough

It's all rather confused, other than the last verse, which is a stroke of genius.

EDIT: I mean the chorus.

Its easy to see its easy to see
The endless parade of old etonian scum
100,000 watch Giant Haystacks
Tear the torso with horses and chains

Chorus
Repeat after me
Brian Warner has a tasty little ass
Alamoni Alamoni

I want to walk in the snow and not leave a footprint
But the futures like a corpes in snow
In your culture of consumption
Learn to live without clutter

You're so fragile tonight
Bones broken up inside
Assassinated beauty
At least your lies will be pretty

Destructive aesthetic
It's the only thing I can digest
Moral little shit-kickers
Why don't you just **

Lose my only remaining home
You've no wounds to show
Skin so tense gives in
So damn easy to cave in

Destructive aesthetic
It's the only thing I can digest
Moral little shit-kickers
Why don't you just **

Bad times are here to stay
Love can't fix the hole they made
My unhappy mantra I wish I could escape
The adult world took it all away

It Feels Like the Antarctic

I want to walk in the snow
You stole the sun from my heart
We love the winter
Winter longing, falling free

It feels like the Antarctic
Lost on my own in the blazing sun
Too cold here
Too cold here

And the sun will still keep rising
Love's written on paper, and paper burns
Freeze me there until I am numb
Ice freezing nature dead

It feels like the Antarctic
Lost on my own in the blazing sun
Too cold here
Too cold here

Days since I last pissed
Right here in my dirty face
My cheeks are turning yellow
It’s so fucking funny don’t you know

Sterile like a line of piss
I am a victim of designer blitz
Eyes bare piss-holes in the snow
Where the Dodos roam with no place to go

My mash-up is a little bit different. You could call that cheating. Or maybe I'm just being smooth.

Haven't shaved for days
Keeps the appearance of delay
The luxury of one more dye
Pretend humility, the ugly lie
I would prefer no choice
One bread, one milk, one food, that's all
I'm confused, I only want one truth
I really don't mind being lied to

So picturesque!
Picturesque, here tonight,
So picturesque!
Picturesque knowing ourselves...

The shadow is, the shadow is a cross okay,
But judgement must, judgement must be willing today,
Silence is not sacrifice, crucifixion the easy life,
Crucifixion the easy life...

Embrace to betrayal
An arms army salvation
Listen to the selfish ones
They are the voice of accomplishment


Things are easy when the band has done half of the job already.

Love Like a Holocaust

Show me the wonder of your love
I want the world to see all the love, security, my childhood dreams
My idea of love comes from a childhood glimpse of pornography
The love of your mother
To keep love alive and lust beside
Love rains down like Vietnam's leeches

We don't talk about love
We don't talk about love
We don't talk about love
We don't talk about love

It's not war, just the end of love
Your love alone is not enough
Loveless slavery, lips kissing empty
I love you all the same
I even love the devil
Whispers, "I love you my darling" tonight

We don't talk about love
We don't talk about love
We don't talk about love
We don't talk about love

[short guitar solo]

We don't talk about love
We don't talk about love
We don't talk about love
We don't talk about love

What's not to get? It's like lego, only instead of plastic bricks, you use lines from Manics lyrics. Well, that and you still have a nose.
