Manic Street Preachers' The Holy Bible @30: WordJam Exclusive!

To mark the 30th anniversary of their ground-breaking album The Holy Bible, the Manic Street Preachers are releasing a new single featuring lyrics from everyone's favourite missing person, Sylvia Plath wannabe, incompetent rhythm guitarist and razorblade enthusiast Richey Edwards! The track, "Gymnasium Charnel House", should drop on Spotify ...erm... soon, but in the meantime, WordJam readers can get an exclusive first-hand look at the lyrics themselves, found down the back of a radiator at Sound Space Studios in Cardiff:

Cut myself with a broken Coke bottle

Capitalism seeps thru

Caspar David Friedrich was German

And Bertolt Brecht too

Stand away from the gap at the station

Observe the max headroom

Your vodka tears are no sanctuary

They're just a tomb

Pay your rent

Pay your rent

Direct debit

Standing order

Neon chrome glitter an oxymoron

You should read Henry Theroux

The scansion is breaking apart now

And the coherency too

Arthur Rimbaud is fucking modernity

I've seen Betty Blue

All your anxieties summed up

By a pretentious word stew

Pay your rent

Pay your rent

Milton Friedman stole my ice cream
