Walk Me to the Bridge Lyrics

Driving slowly to the bridge
With nothing left that we can give
We smile at this ugly world
It never really suited you

Old songs leave long shadows
Makes you shut down all your emotions
Money needs money and slums need the poor
curled like an animal lying on the floor
curled like an animal lying on the floor

So long my fatal friend
I don't need this

The sky so clear the different view
I rarely dream unless it's true
Confusion or master plan
Deceived by the rest
We still have to run
The roads never end
The motion starts
Reality gives no romance
'Take me to the bridge' had another meaning
Singing it loud at the indie disco
Singing it loud at the indie disco

So long my fatal friend
I don't need this to end
I reimagine those steps you took
Still blinded by your intellect
Walk me to the bridge
Walk me to the bridge

So long my faithful friend
I don't need this
Walk me to the bridge
Walk me to the bridge

So long my fatal friend
I don't need this to end
I reimagine those steps you took
Still blinded by your intellect
Walk me to the bridge
Walk me to the bridge

So long my fatal friend
I don't need this

Cover art for Walk Me to the Bridge lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

"People might have the idea that this song contains a lot of Richey references but it really isn’t about that, it’s about the Øresund Bridge that joins Sweden and Denmark. A long time ago when we were crossing that bridge I was flagging and thinking about leaving the band (the “fatal friend”). It’s about the idea of bridges allowing you an out of body experience as you leave and arrive in different places."

-Nicky Wire
