4st 7lb Lyrics - The Holy Bible - Manic Street Preachers

Days since I last pissed cheeks sunken and despaired 

So gorgeous sunk to six stone, lose my only remaining home 

See my third rib appear a week later all my flesh disappear 

Stretching taut, cling film on bone, I'm getting better 

Karen says, I've reached my target weight 

Kate and Emma and Kristin know it's fake 

Problem is diet's not a big enough word 

I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view 

I want to walk in the snow 

And not leave a footprint 

I want to walk in the snow 

And not soil its purity 

Stomach collapsed at five lift up my skirt my sex is gone 

Naked and lovely and 5ft, 2 may I bud and never flower 

My vision's getting blurred but I can see my ribs and I feel fine 

My hands are trembling stalks and I can feel my breasts are sinking

Mother tries to choke me with roast beef 

And sits savoring her sole ryvitta 

€"That's the way you're built?, my father said 

But I can change, my cocoon shedding 

I want to walk in the snow 

And not leave a footprint 

I want to walk in the snow 

And not soil its purity 

Kate and Kristin and Kit Kat 

All things I like looking at 

Too weak to fuss, too weak to die 

Choice is skeletal in everybody's life 

I choose, my choice, I starve to frenzy 

Hunger soon passes and sickness soon tires 

Legs bend, stockinged I am Twiggy 

And I don't mind the horror that surrounds me 

Photos 

Self worth scatters, self esteems a bore 

I long since moved to a higher plateau 

This discipline's so rare so please applaud 

Just look at the fat scum who pamper me so 

Yeah, 4st.7lb, an epilogue of youth 

Such beautiful dignity in self abuse 

I've finally come to understand life 

Through staring blankly at my navel
