VERSE 2 LYRICS:
There are times when you feel hopeless
Just for once for noone else we are faithless
the dawn is still breaking its heaven is so high
She told the truth, told the truth and then she lied.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture The Four String Lead Player	#1 by The Four String Mother Fucker at Apr 27, 1988 at 6:42 AM EST
	Like a lot of the Manics songs this has a Sylvia Plath reference, she wrote a poem of the same name.

No Picture Bassdude Average	#2 by Bassdude at Oct 18, 1997 at 9:57 PM EST
	There are perhaps two people in the world who know what this song is about: Nicky Wire and Richey Edwards. Nicky said even he didn't really know what this one was about, but I think the "there are times when you feel hopeless" line is beautiful and has helped get me through many a sad time...
