What's your story, baby?
No control of what I am saying
Winter leaves still make me believe
No vendettas, just a cherry blossom tree
Never had the chance to take you home
Now there's no reason--just another tomorrow
You keep giving me your free air miles
What would I give just for one of your smiles
Just for one of your smiles
Nobody loved you
Nobody made you feel so alone
Nobody loved you, no no
Nobody loved you
Nobody made you feel so alone
Nobody loved you, no no
Let me turn down all these lights
And sit with me--then you can hold me tight
Give me some more of your carrier bags
And let me dream of a new autumn light
Tell me your story, baby
What's your poison, what is your honey?
You've stopped me hurting but so much disorder
Winter flowers did you ever forgive her?
Did you ever forgive her?
Nobody loved you
Nobody made you feel so alone
Nobody loved you, no no
Cherry blossom tree
But at least you are free
Nobody loved you
Like me
It's unreal now you're gone
But at least you belong
Nobody loved you, no no
What's your story, baby?
No control of what I am saying
Winter leaves still make me believe
No vendettas, just a cherry blossom tree
Just a cherry blossom tree
The song's for the Manics' rhythm guitarist and lyricist, Richey Edwards, who disappeared in 1995. Crazy-awesome Nik found the interview where the Manics talk about this. Woooo!
