You're Tender and You're Tired; Manic Street Preachers

Welcome Wales to my blog!

The first Welsh band to appear here is Manic Street Preachers, an alternative/hard rock band formed in 1986. They are James Dean Bradfield (vocals, guitars), Nicky Wire (bass, occasional vocals) and Sean Moore (drums, backing vocals, occasional trumpet).

Here they are!

Manic's whistling song was released in the 1998 album called "This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours". According to Wikipedia "the title is a quotation taken from a speech given by Welsh British Labour Party politician Aneurin Bevan."

What more? You tell me. :/

You're so fragile tonight
Been up hurting all night
It's not trivial like they think
Yes you're desperate and hurt
Thought about it so many times
Too afraid to open your eyes
To see the sadness that's inside
Just sit back in and stop time

You're tender and you're tired
You can't be bothered to decide
Whether you live or die
Or just forget about your life

But it's too late to be real
No time to be strong enough
Just time to leave it all behind
Memory has become pain
Rebuild the void with flowers
Sad eye destruction built around sand and sea
Yes you can build yourself around
Build yourself around me

You're tender and you're tired
You can't be bothered to decide
Whether you live or doe
Or just forget about your life

Drift away and die
Never say goodbye
Drift away and die
