From the Album "Gold Against The Soul" (1993)

"Life has been unfaithful

And it all promised so so much

I am a relic

I am just a petrified cry

Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir

The applause nails down my silence

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

I see liberals

I am just a fashion accessory

People send postcards

And they all hope I'm feeling well

I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy

Where they patronise my misery

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

I sold my medal

It paid a bill

It sells at market stalls

Parades Milan catwalks

Oh, the sadness will never go

Will never go away

Baby it's here to stay

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh"

"La Tristesse Durera" is a misspelling of "La Tristeza Duradera" wich means "Everlasting Sadness"

Supposedly Van Gogh's last words in a letter to his brother. Apparently means "the sadness will never go".

Though the album had some real clunkers, Gold Against the Soul is still a very underated album. (as much of the Manics' catalogue outside of the UK is)How on earth Muse, Coldplay and (post OK Computer) Radiohead continue to sell millions and garner worldwide accolades, while bands like MSP, Stereophonics, The Libertines and Spiritualized failed to even get a sniff is beyond me.

This sounds so much like Queen and the singer sounds so much like Freddy Mercury!
