Manic Street Preachers Lyrics for Song: The Convalescent
 Lyrics for Album: Know Your Enemy [2001]
 
 
 
 9788>My bedroom wall recalls what's in my head
 
 A collage constructed and constantly fed
 
 Goya mixes Picasso but it's hardly Spain
 
 Look through the window, pissing down with rain
 
 
 
 Lovely labradors outnumber musicians
 
 Bonnie and Clyde have made their good intentions
 
 Pity poor Payne Stewart in a death bubble
 
 But what a swing and so much bottle
 
 
 
 So I convalesce and I ease the stress
 
 Cos DNA means does not accept
 
 So I convalesce and I ease the stress
 
 Cos DNA means does not accept
 
 
 
 Kleenex kitchen towels and teletext TV
 
 My favourite inventions of the twentieth century
 
 Haile Gebrselassie looks so sweet and young
 
 Eyes quickly shift to Jack Kevorkian
 
 
 
 Uneven and tidal all with exit policies
 
 Followed by anti-ballistic migraines
 
 And Brian Warner has a tasty little ass
 
 Scared of cash machines and the Mardi Gras
 
 
 
 So I convalesce and I ease the stress
 
 Cos DNA means does not accept
 
 So I convalesce and I ease the stress
 
 Cos DNA means does not accept
 
 
 
 Alberto Juanterino unique in his field
 
 These are the things that, that make you feel
 
 Klaus Kinski with love off Werner Herzog
 
 Scream until the war is over
 
 Scream until the war is over
 
 
 
 Srebrenica cousin of Treblinka
 
 Scream until the war is over
 
 War is over
 
 And Dante's Inferno slides into dismorphia
 
 So scream until the war is over
 
 
 
 So I convalesce and I ease the stress
 
 Cos DNA means does not accept
 
 So I rehabilitate and get my body straight
 
 Cos nothing fits like it used to fit
