The artwork is quite nice actually and it certainly looks like caldey island in the background, which is a nice callback to the walk me to the bridge b-side. Though i think it was someone somewhere on twitter who said it looks like the cover of one of those cheap paperback thrillers you take with you on your hols and now i cannot unsee it. Getting a pdf* (you can save it) of the lyric booklet also feels like the height of technological sophistication for the manics - by the way, it's 'people machines' not 'papal machines' in orwellian.
The shipping cost is atrocious though so i'll be getting it from spillers, they do over the phone orders for a standard delivery cost if anyone's interested and don't care about signed stuff.

*This works for me but ymmv - https://flipbook.manicstreetpreachers.com/

If Bath forum is the new name for colston hall then that's a great venue ...Brighton dome too ...very tempted by that one

Direct lineage between The Boy From The Plantation, Without Knowing The End (Joan's Song) and Orwellian?
Nothing to be ashamed of and very positive direction.
Has at least killed off interest in watching the trailer again! Got past the Orwellian bit and then paused it thinking "No. I want to save it for the album.".
I've previously watched the trailer but can't remember how specific bits went.

It's showing as available for pre-order for me in the UK, might be restricted to UK only orders? Only thinking that as I've had similar issues for getting US stuff imported.

I’M WALKING ON MY OWN IT’S 1993
THE HEAVY SNOW IS FALLING LIKE AN ANGEL OVER ME
I SEE IT ALL THROUGH A VIDEO CAMERA FILTER
IT FEELS SO REAL LIKE CHEAP GOLDEN GLITTER
THERE ARE NO HOLES IN MY RECOLLECTIONS
TIME HAS STOPPED AND IS PERFECTLY FROZEN
THOSE DAYS MAY NEVER COME AGAIN
MY OPTIMISM RESEMBLES A DYING FLAME
IT’S STILL SNOWING SNOWING IN SAPPORO
STILL BREAKING IN MY HEART
IT COULDN’T LAST WITHOUT THE HURT - WITHOUT THE HURT
WE FLEW INTO THE DARKNESS AND LANDED IN THE NIGHT
THROUGH CLOUDS AND FOG WE GLIMPSED THE NEON LIGHTS
WITH MAKE UP RUNNING EYES TURNED TOWARDS THE SKY
OUR HANDS ALL GRIPPED TOGETHER HOLDING ON SO TIGHT
WE PUT OUR BODIES ON THE LINE
BUILT A MOUNTAIN WE COULD NEVER CLIMB
HOW COULD 4 BECOME SO STRONG
YET BREAK AND LEAVE TOO SOON
IT’S STILL SNOWING SNOWING IN SAPPORO
STILL BREAKING IN MY HEART
THE FOUR OF US AGAINST THE WORLD-AGAINST THE WORLD

THE SEA - YOUR ROOM - YOUR GOD
THE INTERIOR WORLD YOU LOVED
YOU TURNED FACES INTO ICONS
BUT THE MIRROR KILLED ALL YOUR FREEDOM
QUIET STEADY AND UNIQUE
OPPOSITES UNITED BY BLOOD AND DEED
BOREDOM YOUR BIGGEST ENEMY
LEFT YOUR HEART ON THE BEACH IN TENBY
I’LL BE REMEMBERED AS YOUR BROTHER
ALL MY WORK ADDS UP TO NOTHING
YOU IGNORED THE REVOLUTIONS
THEY JUST LED YOU NOWHERE
THE SECRET HE HAD MISSED WAS LYING AT HIS FINGERTIPS
THE GIRL IN THE LONG BLUE DRESS
CAST A SPELL AND LEFT US BLESSED
LOST YOUR HEART AND SOUL IN FRANCE
PRAYED SO HARD THAT LOVE WOULD LAST
BOHEMIAN WITH NO CONTROL
IF ONLY YOU HAD YOUR SISTER’S SOUL
NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO RECONCILE
LIVING SEPARATE AND LONELY LIVES
IF ONLY WE COULD MEET AGAIN
WE COULD FIND A DIFFERENT END
I’LL BE REMEMBERED AS YOUR BROTHER
ALL MY WORK ADDS UP TO NOTHING
YOU IGNORED THE REVOLUTIONS
THEY JUST LED YOU NOWHERE
THE SECRET HE HAD MISSED WAS LYING AT HIS FINGERTIPS
THE GIRL IN THE LONG BLUE DRESS
CAST A SPELL AND LEFT US BLESSED
WALLS DEFEATED BY THE SEA
STILL RESONATE AN IMPERFECT DREAM
THE WHISPERING WAVES STILL CLEANSE AND CLEAN
THEY CAN’T WIPE AWAY WHAT YOU’VE SEEN

ON A STREET OF OLD BONES
DUST MASQUERADES AS SKIN
TIME TURNS ITSELF TO STONE
NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE AND NOTHING LEFT TO WIN
DESIRES TO BREAK AND DECONSTRUCT
I DEFEND THE MIDDLE GROUND
EVERY BATTLE I’VE EVER FOUGHT
HAS EITHER BEEN LOST OR BOUGHT
AND IN THE RHYTHM OF YOUR VOICE
I FIND SPACE TO REJOICE
MY COMPLICATED ILLUSIONS
LEAVE ME WITH NO CHOICE
EVEN THE ANSWERS THAT I DREAM
ARE RIDDLED WITH DOUBT AND HOLES
ILLUSIONS ARE COMPLICATED
REDACTED AND RETOLD
AND IN THE RHYTHM OF YOUR VOICE
I FIND SPACE TO REJOICE
MY COMPLICATED ILLUSIONS
LEAVE ME WITH NO CHOICE
AND IN THE MARGINS OF THE PAGE
TRUTH HIDES BUT LEAVES A TRACE
MY COMPLICATED ILLUSIONS
ARE NOW NO MORE THAN FAITH

Leaked? Dude, the pdf is freely available on their site.
The fact they're all in uppercase suggests to me someone just copy and pasted them from the pdf!

Well no harm, it's just that so many people (not you) don't seem to ever explore anything outside of the zucker-verse - if it's not on fb then it doesn't exist.
