La Tristesse Durera (scream To A Sigh) lyrics
by Manic Street Preachers
(Words: Nicky Wire/Richey James; Music: James Dean Bradfield/Sean Moore)Life has been unfaithfulAnd it all promised so so muchI am a relicI am just a petrified cryWheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenirThe applause nails down my silenceLa tristesse dureraScream to a sigh, to a sighLa tristesse dureraScream to a sigh, to a sighI see liberalsI am just a fashion accessoryPeople send postcardsAnd they all hope I'm feeling wellI retreat into self-pity, it's so easyWhere they patronise my miseryLa tristesse dureraScream to a sigh, to a sighLa tristesse dureraScream to a sigh, to a sighLa tristesse dureraScream to a sigh, to a sighLa tristesse dureraScream to a sigh, to a sighI sold my medalIt paid a billIt sells at market stallsParades Milan catwalksOh, the sadness will never goWill never go awayBaby it's here to stayLa tristesse dureraScream to a sigh, to a sigh(c) 1993 Sony Music Publishing
