Manic Street Preachers
The Girl Who Wanted To Be God (Acoustic Demo, Nick’s House ’95)
There were no sunsets, but
You could see that she was true and faithless
So scream the scriptures, edit the sky
Black out the words for the blind have eyes

I am the girl that wanted to be God
I am the girl that wanted to be God
You are the girl that wanted to be God

Outside the memories, the disease [?]
Compulsion, colour, touched only once
But dawn is still past, so heaven high
She told the truth, she told the truth, then lied

I am the girl who wanted to be God
I am the girl who wanted to be God
You are the girl that wanted to be God
Elect a new sun, reflect tension
Cover the clouds and black out the birds
Reflect us and don't ask why it's fun [?]
A pathetic last act of trust

I am the girl that wanted to be God
I am the girl that wanted to be God
I am the girl that wanted to be God
