Manic Street Preachers
T.E. Lawrence on a Bike
[Verse 1]
How does it feel to be betrayed?
How does it feel lying dead down for days?
And all those dreams now broken or delayed
And all those promises you made
Lie scattered like war crimes graves
[Chorus]
All your life a second nudging at your death
All those years of service gone and left to waste
Then double-crossed and so left out to dry
But you did your best to try and find a way
[Verse 2]
There was never an original sin
No justification for the mess we're in
So much for the seven pillars of wisdom
Was it not enough of a war to win?
The anonymous hero where do we begin?
[Chorus]
All your life a second nudging at your death
All those years of service gone and left to waste
Then double-crossed and so left out to dry
But you did your best to try and find a way
To try and find a way
[Outro]
There is some method to this madness
There is some meaning in this trespass
Gather the evidence, deliver the deliverance
Deliver the deliverance
Deliver the deliverance
