[Spoken Intro]
All aboard the soul train
We're the Manic Street Preachers

[Instrumental Intro]
{?} Should we go- should we go!

[Instrumental Intro Continues]

[Verse 1]
Roses in the hospital
Try to pull my fingernails out
Roses in the hospital
I wanna 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

[Chorus]
All we wanted
Was a home
Now we're so strung out
We wanna own
Like a leaf in the autumn breaze
Like a flood in January
We dont want your fucking love!
[Verse 2]
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
(Scatting)

[Chorus]
All we wanted was a home
Now we are 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!

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
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 its loss
Roses in the hospital
Torn reflections of burnt out trash
Of burnt out trash!
[Outro]
Forever ever delayed
Forever ever delayed
Forever!
Forever!
Forever
Independence is your game
Credibility, I'm yawning
Forever
Rudi, Rudi, Rudi!
Rudi's gonna fail!
Forever ever delayed
Forever ever delayed
Forever!
Forever!
Forever ever delayed
The West scratches onto my skin
Contagious like a suntan!
Rudi, Rudi, Rudi, Rudi
Rudi's gonna fail!
Is gonna fail!
He's gonna fail!
Fail!
