Manic Street Preachers
Askew Road
[Verse 1]
Askew Road, with charm of napalm
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bulletproof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt
[Chorus]
You make your beds, boys, and clear your heads, boys
Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss, already restored
Humane and deeply flawed
[Verse 2]
Askew Road, with cigarette burns
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bulletproof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt
[Chorus]
You make your beds, boys, and clear your heads, boys
Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss, already restored
Humane and deeply flawed
[Bridge]
Most bands have got no respect for us at all, which is fine because
We didn't form a band to get respect from other musicians, you know?
That was never important criteria to us
It's just tragic, I think
[Outro]
Askew Road, a place in my heart
Forever hoping we'll all make our way back
