1985 Lyrics - Lifeblood - Manic Street Preachers

In 1985 

I placed a bet and lied 

Losing all that I had 

At least with all my heart intact 

In 1985 

Orwell was proved right 

Torville and Dean's Bolero 

Redundant as a sad Welsh chapel 

In 1985, in 1985 

So God is dead 

Like Nietzsche said 

Superstition is all we have left

Circle the wagons 

We're under attack 

We've realised there's no going back 

We've realised there's no going back 

In 1985 

The civil war failed why 

Kept hidden like scars of birth 

Nature unable to soften the words 

In 1985 

My words they came alive 

Friends were made for life 

Morrissey and Mar gave me choice 

In 1985, in 1985 

So God is dead 

Like Nietzsche said 

Only 16 years of age he said 

See all the tears for the walking dead

We've realised there's no going back 

We've realised there's no going back 

In 1985 

I placed a bet and lied 

Losing all that I had
