This is THE best live new track the manics played last night.  The chords are pretty accurate 
I hope!!!


A               C#M
Solitude Sometimes Is 
D                              F#M
The place that I would like to live 
A                C#M
Solitude Sometimes Is 
D                            F#M
When nothing really seems to fit 
D                                A
If black were truly black not grey 
C#M                          E
It might provide some depth to pray 
D                                A
To black out all the worlds of men 
C#M                             E
And demons too but not even then 
F#M       G#        A
Solitude Sometimes Is 

A                   C#M

Life that no longer exists 
A                 C#M
Solitude Sometimes Is 
D                             F#M
When there's nothing left to give 
D                               A
If black were truly black not grey 
C#M                              E
It might provide some depth to pray 
D                                A
To black out all the worlds of men 
C#M                            E
And demons too but not even then 
F#M      G#         A
Solitude Sometimes Is 

A                        C#M
Drop your bombs on all I see 
D                        F#M
Leave this world alone for me 
A                          C#M
The thing I need to hide behind 
D                           F#M
It reigns beneath my holy skies 
D                               A
If black were truly black not grey 
C#M                               E
It might provide some depth to pray 
D                                 A
To black out all the worlds of men 
C#M                               E
And demons too but not even then 
F#M     G#         A

	Yep i do see that now too actually. have read a nicky wire interview that supports your ideas "paulothemanio". and looking at the line in particular "Drop your bombs on all i see, Leave this world alone for me" does show a longing for a place to be apart from everything else

	It's the opposite really. According to nicky, it's actually about wanting to be alone sometimes, because nowadays the emphasis is always on social activities and you are considered a weirdo for wanting to just spend some time with yourself sometimes. I know exactly how he feels, which is why I love this song so much. My friends always want to do stuff and if I suggest that I just want to be alone with my thoughts for a bit they think I am some kind of freak. Just to clarify: I'm not depressed, I just like time to myself now and then. Like Nicky himself said, not even traditionally solitary activities like reading can be enjoyed anymore with, say, joining a book club etc.

	I love listening to this song, possibly about being alone without neccessarily wanting to be, which is how i feel pretty often. i love the lyric "if black were truly black not grey, it might provide some depth to pray". it's just classic Nicky lrics. i also love the guitar towards the end of the song, i don't think many other albums live up to the production work used on this song and the lifeblood album.
