Manic Street Preachers - Askew Road Lyrics

Askew Road, with charm of napalm
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bullet proof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt

You make your beds, boys,
And clear your heads, boys,
Leave your life behind,
Reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss,
Already restored
Humane
And deeply flawed

Askew Road, with cigarette burns
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bullet proof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt

You make your beds, boys,
And clear your heads, boys,
Leave your life behind,
Reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss,
Already restored
Humane
And deeply flawed

"Most bands have no respect for us at all,
Which is fine because we didn't form a band
To get respect from other musicians, you know
That was never an important criteria to us
It's just tragic I think"

Askew Road, a place in my heart
Forever hoping we'll all make our way back
