Sepia Lyrics

A framed adolescence steeped in the history of you
Stopped in the summer once for you
Experience is lost on me I am melancholia eternally
But I still smile so stupidly
For the first time ever I don't understand
My television

And just like that moment in 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid',
I'm perpetually stuck in a sepia film
But bleeding inside, I manage to keep it all in
I keep it all in

I've spoken so much rubbish done in no time at all
Feelings are so fatal in the fall
No you never kissed me never felt anything for me
Sepia, the stain that I remember
In these unwritten diaries that can never breathe
Never breathe

And just like that moment in 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid',
I'm perpetually stuck in a sepia film
I'm bleeding inside, I manage to keep it all in
I keep it all in

And just like the moment in 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid',
I'm perpetually stuck in a sepia film
But bleeding inside, I manage to keep it all in
I keep it all in

Cover art for Sepia lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

Quite an emotional one this one, written by Nicky about the disappearance of his close friend. It comes over as a very personal song, about how he's struggled to carry on in Richey's absence. Is very good musically, with a sweeping chorus, and i feel it would have fitted in well on the "Everything Must Go" album
