Manic Street Preachers - Roses In The Hospital lyrics

Lyrics by Richey James and Nicky Wire, music by James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore

Roses in the hospital

Try to pull my finger nails out

Roses in the hospital

I want to cling to something soft

Roses in the hospital

Progressing like a constant war

Roses in the hospital

There's no one to feel ashamed for

All we wanted was a home

Now we're so strung out we wanna own

Like a leaf in the autumn breeze

Like a flood in January

We don't want your fucking love

Roses in the hospital

Stub cigarettes out on my arm

Roses in the hospital

Want to feel something of value

Roses in the hospital

Nothing really makes me happy

Roses in the hospital

Heroin is just too trendy

All we wanted was a home

Now we're so strung out we wanna own

Like a leaf in the autumn breeze

Like a flood in January

We don't want your fucking love

Roses in the hospital

This century achieved so much

Roses in the hospital

To make a voice no voice at all

Roses in the hospital

Flowers cannot express the loss

Roses in the hospital

Torn reflections of burnt out trash

Of burnt out trash

Forever ever delayed

Forever ever delayed

Forever

Forever

Forever ever delayed

Independence is a game

Forever ever delayed

Credibility, I'm yawning

Forever

Forever

Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi gonna fail

Forever ever delayed

Forever delayed

Forever

Forever

Forever delayed

The West scratches onto my skin

Forever delayed

Contagious like a suntan

We never felt any sun
