Prologue To History Lyrics - Lipstick Traces: A Secret History Of Manic Street Preachers - Manic Street Preachers

Were we the Kinnock factor 

Am I talking private sector 

Do I think I'm Shaun William Ryder 

Or my former friend whose now undercover 

He's gone and I'm no deserter 

Perhaps I'm hard all the same 

Today a poet who can't play guitar 

Tomorrow Steve Ovett has injured his calf 

Next year the world's greatest politician 

Yesterday the boy who once had a mission 

I don't want to be 

A prologue to history 

A prologue to histor...

So I water my plants with Evian 

A brand new Dyson that is decadent 

Read my papers and the business section 

Checkout the tessas and the pensions 

Call my friends and they're alright 

So I pray for the safety of the night 

Today a poet who can't play guitar 

Tomorrow Steve Ovett has injured his calf 

Next year the world's greatest politician 

Yesterday the boy who once had a mission 

I don't want to be 

A prologue to history

Remember ethnic cleansing in the highlands 

No one says a thing in the middle of En-ger-land 

I'm bruised fruit but still taste so nice 

But if you look at me you better look twice 

I'm talking rubbish to cover up the cracks 

An empty vessel who can't make contact 

Photos 

Today a poet who can't play guitar 

Tomorrow Phil Bennett's playing outside half 

Next year the world's greatest politician 

Yesterday the boy who once had a mission 

I don't want to be 

A prologue to history 

A prologue to history 

A prologue to history
