Cover art for Pretension/Repulsion lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

The lyrics are very wrong here, it's:

"BORN.A.GRAPHIC VS PORNAGRAPHIC" and "Extra bones for sale"

If I found out how to change the lyrics I would. Anyway, I realised tonight that this song sums me up in many ways. The title "Pretension/Repulsion" explains my relationship with myself exactly. Going from a huge high, really being proud of myself you know, sort of imagining I have rights above other people, and it's a very hard train of thought to break out of. And then at the complete other end I am repulsed by myself, really full of hate, and just disgusted at everything I do and the way I look.
