I didn't actually TAB this..my friend "Mel Lilac"
(to give her full title!!) did but she said
that I could type it up if I wanted and put
it on the web as long as it carried her name.

e-mail - david.morland@virgin.net (I can't remember Mel's)

Here goes...

Verse
-----
D A F#m G
get some pain I feel alive Born to end

D A F#m G
Close my eyes overdose on hell Born to end

D A F#m G
Get run over by no direction Born to end

D A F#m G
Breathing dead I'm born to end Born to end

Pre-chorus

Fall to the floor my baby I no longer believe

E A E A
Fall to the floor my baby I've lost the love to sleep

Chorus

Underneath the blue skies beautiful empty dying

Nagasaki dolls are burning


LYRICS
------
VERSE
=====
Get some pain and I feel alive - born to end
Close my eyes overdose on hell - born to end
Get run over by no direction - born to end
Breathing dead and I'm born to end - born to end

PRECHORUS
=========
Fall to the floor my baby, baby
I no longer believe
Fall to the floor my baby, baby
I've lost the love to sleep

CHORUS
======
H-bomb the only thing that will bring freedom to life
Underneath blue skies beautiful empty dying
Nagasaki dolls are burning

VERSE
=====
Europe freed by McDonalds and Levi's - born to end
Can't afford it so I hate it all - born to end
Images linger like repression - born to end
Concentration camps of our dreams - born to end

PRECHORUS
=========
Fall to the floor my baby, baby
I no longer believe
Fall to the floor my baby, baby
I've lost the love to sleep

CHORUS
======
H-bomb the only thing that will bring freedom to life
Underneath blue skies beautiful empty dying
Nagasaki dolls are burning

Beg for mercy
Pray for war

the beginning bit, "Get some pain and I feel alive" seems to me to be about how the self abuse richey dealt with was the thing that kept him real. that statement has always rung true for me so just what i think. and i guess the rest is about consumerism and how it is destroying our culture, or in fact has BECOME our culture.

This song is about the futility of life.

Probably not about post communist eastern europe as the this song was written so soon after the USSR and the Soviet Block were disolved. More likely about the futility/emptiness of a consumer culture.

One of my favorite Manic Street Preacher songs, i love the riff and James Voice on this song. I agree with Zep about the lyrics. I think it's about eastern europe and thinks havn't improved.
