Manic Street Preachers
The View from Stow Hill
[Verse 1]
How did this town get so old
The air I breathe feels so heavy and cold
Always caught in between
The capital and the 'other' country
Always caught in between
The river and the valley

[Verse 2]
You can still see the bullet holes
You can still sense a little hope
Crushed dreams
And the martyrs too
Silent - ghostly - still so confused

[Chorus]
Look up to the skies
Avoid the casual litter
Running from the pitiful nihilism
The misguided tweets
The sad Facebooking
Cheapness surrounds me
But I'm not looking

[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
