Cover art for Comfort Comes lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

Excellent song. Suprised noone else has commented.

To me this song is another of Richeys powerful insights on human habit and unconscious beliefs. For exmple, 'The difference between love and comfort, is that comfort's more reliable and true' This shows he sees love more as a need to be acknowledged by others, ie. the comfort others bring, love is more an unknown emotion that creates pain, it is of course, only the good things (comfort of being loved and loving) that we want in a relationship, not the lies and pain.

The song itself does seem like a personal cry for attention from Richeys point as well (I'm not sure if Richey wrote this exclusively, if not then I apologise)
