Cover art for Askew Road lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

Gorgeous song. Askew Road is in W. London, and it's where the band stayed at some point as youngsters with Philip Hall. Quite an appropriate name for the road...it seems to be a yearning for a past when everything was simpler. The quote is by Richey, who has stated that he had a blissful childhood.
