Nostalgic Pushead Songtext
von Manic Street Preachers

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

I am the raping sunglass gaze
Of sweating man and escort agencies
Sixties alienation, the anthem of care
Now a knife constantly slashing eyelids

Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the God

Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the God

They dig the new scene and their parties
Where Stonehenge is worshiped and drugs a deity
Vicarious thrills rerun their youth
We follow, we have no voice, the dead


Radio nostalgia is radio death
I wanna cover diamonds on my wife
Hard rock nostalgia, The Stones on CD
Tranquilized icons for the sweet paralyzed

Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the God

Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the God

So cool, the new sound of the decade
Think it′s so fresh, not a post Elvis still
All taste is nothing, old pictures blow dried
Rebellion, it always sells at a profit

I am a face of fashion in Soho Square
My tie is Paul Smith or Gaultier
My cheeks blood red as my favorite port
But hey, cocaine keeps cholesterol at bay


Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the God

Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the God, some God
