The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever
After the first listen I think it's fantastic song, the best Manics song with Nicky's lead vocal! The Sean's work is great here too. As well as James' guitar.

Corrected lyrics:
Quote:
Wipe those tears away
Keep as still as you can
Hold your breath and dig deep
And stop those trembling hands
Make yourself pretty
Just for one last time
No one will ever know
You ever left your prime

The future has been here forever
The future's still unclear whatever

This place, it left me
A long long time ago
But it still keeps me here
It still keeps me close
When I start to break free
It calls me back again
Like the Godfather 3
I never can escape

The future has been here forever
The future's still unclear whatever

And you can't shake off your yesterdays
When you can't re-write your histories
Will you let some love break through the night
Will you let some hope come in to your life, to your life, to your life, to your life, to your life

Surely Nicks vocal on Bangkok Novotel is better and Sean on Kevin Carter

Sean's trumpet is the best thing about this song!

On a cold mids morning the sun shone bright
Upon a beautiful smiling five pound note
Gazing at me, from the pavement
Wet with love, it wasn't there
I was dreaming, you always are

I see the coins that were your eyes
My eyes shining like sapphires
I can't think, and I can't paint, I can't love!
And no one will, for money makes us up

Death to monetaries!
Death to monetaries!

Missing/Corrected lyrics in bold

Wipe those tears away
Keep as still as you can
Hold your breath and dig deep
And stop those trembling hands
Make yourself pretty
Just for one last time
No one will ever know
You ever left your prime

The future has been here forever
The future's still unclear whatever

This place, it left me
A long long time ago
But it still keeps me here
It still keeps me close
When I start to break free
It calls me back again
Like the Godfather 3
I never can escape

The future has been here forever
The future's still unclear whatever

And you can't shake off your yesterdays
When you can't re-write your histories
Will you let some love break through the night
Will you let some hope come in to your life, to your life, to your life, to your life, to your life
