| Lyrics: | Lyrics by Richey James and Nicky Wire, music by James Dean Bradfield and Sean
Moore
Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a
relic
I am just a petrified cry
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
The
applause nails down my silence
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a
sigh
I see liberals
I am just a fashion accessory
People send postcards
And
they all hope I'm feeling well
I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy
Where they patronise
my misery
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
I sold my
medal
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
The sadness
will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stay
La tristesse
durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh |
