Hibernation

Manic Street Preachers · Singles And B-Sides [1991]

(Music: James Dean Bradfield/Sean Moore; Lyrics: Nicky Wire/Richey James)

I got married 'cos you should

We both knew we should

You do at our age

This stage of out career

Things get tight

A ring helps get a mortgage

To move out of daddy's home

Get a bigger car

Easy access to the city

I can read the papers in peace

And laugh at the homeless

I know my friends criticize

But we get by OK

So what if there's no emotion



We can wake up anywhere

There's never a row

No time for a kiss

When you've got schedules to meet

Trivialities seem so cheap

This is above love

This is more than real

This is all there is

This is as good as it gets -

Intense morality parades
