Cover art for La Tristesse Durera (Scream To A Sigh) lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

its about war veterans, "lifes has been unfaithful" to them when by fighting for a just cause "promised so much".No-one thinks about them, except when theyre "wheeled out once a Year, to the cenotaph". Politicians use them to their own ends, "I see Liberals, I am just a fashion accessory". Most Veterans are so poor because of their pathetic pensions, that the have to make money somehow, "I sold my medal, it paid a bill". All in all its about the disgusting way that the elderly get treated, which is even more sad when you consider that these people fought & lost friends to allow us to live in the style weve become accustomed to.
