SKON singles lyrics
I can't find any thread containing lyrics from SKON single. Can anyone post the exact lyrics from the b-sides tracks of 'Some kind of nothingness' singles? Removables.co.uk and other manics lyrics websites are a bit late on this.

Broken up again:
If your eyes are the window to your soul If the rules of nature werent so cruel Give me a chance and I'll try to explain The pictures on my wall are fading Those unknown pleasures I was made in Always brooding on all the damage done Tell me how many times can a man stifle a cry Stop himself from waving goodbye Wave goodbye I am all broken up again I'll take it with humility For the world that never welcomed me If your eyes are the window to your soul If the rules of nature werent so cruel Give me a chance and I'll try to explain The pictures on my wall are fading Those unknown pleasures I was made in Always brooding on all the damage done Tell me how many times can a man stifle a cry Stop himself from waving goodbye Wave goodbye I am all broken up again I'll take it with humility For the world that never welcomed me I am all broken up again I'll take it with humility For the world that never welcomed me I am all broken up again I'll take it with humility For the world that never welcomed me I am all broken up again I'll take it with humility For the world that never welcomed me Red Rubber: My idle ledgers have fiasco boss Time to wake up kids of the cold war Some scars so deep they'll never heal Reparations pint glass unclean Civilisation takes up many forms Usually disguised and fatally flawed White king - red rubber Black death are you listening? White king - red rubber Free god together, so let's all sing Oh Leopold, you betrayed our souls Sold the heart of your country For all the rubber and all the money You only preached violence and Christianity Civiliation takes up many forms Usually disguised and fatally flawed White king - red rubber Black death, are you listening? White king - red rubber Free god together, so let's all sing |

I thought the lyric in Red Rubber was
'My eyelids as heavy as gold bars'

I copied these from MSPedia, not sure if they are 100%
But seem pretty spot on to me |

And I thought it was -
'Freak out together, so lets all sing'

Ah, so it's someone's attempts at deciphering James' pronunciation! They probably are right, I always mishear lots of Manics stuff!

Have a look on Wikipedia, it explains what he done in the Congo, hence the song
Which I love by the way! |

I think that has been the case with alot of Manics fans! (See the Misheard Song Lyrics Thread!) Wonder what King Leopald of Belgium's significance is?

He utilised some rather forceful methods on the workers in the Congolese Rubber manufacturing and Ivory trades
