This is based on a live, acoustic performance of the song by James Dean

Bradfield- there's an mp3 of it at http://members.aol.com/truthsteller/motorcycle.mp3

can be used as the rhythym guitar line- it also works using powerchords

Lyrics:

Culture sucks down words

Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles

Organise your safe tribal war

Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie

Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness

Motorcycle emptiness

Under neon loneliness

Motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide

Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths

From feudal serf to spender

This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air

Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness

Motorcycle emptiness

Under neon loneliness

Motorcycle emptiness

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

Under neon loneliness

Motorcycle emptiness

Under neon loneliness

Motorcycle emptiness

Drive away and it's the same

Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim

Your joys are counterfeit

This happiness corrupt political ***

Living life like a comatose

Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

Under neon loneliness

Motorcycle emptiness

Under neon loneliness

Motorcycle emptiness

Under neon loneliness

Motorcycle emptiness

Under neon loneliness

Everlasting nothingness
