Every song on The Holy Bible is utterly brutal. It's the most uncomfortable album in existence. Everyone should have to listen to it. It should be in every hotel room, like *that* book.

This song portrays anorexia so well, I felt exactly what Richey felt and what he wrote in this song, the want to be so disturbingly thin that nobody wants to look at you, ignoring all the negative side effects because you're so blinded by your addiction to losing weight, feeling so accomplished by starving yourself, it's so real and raw and never fails to get me thinking about my times as an anorexic...

I like U2 but I agree, and it's especially difficult being an American fan, as they never made a single dent here as far as I'm aware and nobody has ever heard of them. Oh, and as the commenter above said, as cool as Sean is, he isn't the coolest. That would be Neil Peart! (the Manics are Rush fans so they'd probably agree with me haha)

LYRICS ________ Days since I last pissed Cheeks sunken and despaired So gorgeous sunk to six stone Lose my only remaining home See my third rib appear A week later all my flesh disappear Stretching taut, cling-film on bone I'm getting better Karen says I've reached my target weight Kate and emma and kristin know it's fake Problem is diet's not a big enough word I want to be so skinny that I rot from view I want to walk in the snow And not leave a footprint I want to walk in the snow And not soil its purity Stomach collapsed at five Lift up my skirt my sex is gone Naked and lovely and 5st. 2 May I bud and never flower My vision's getting blurred But I can see my ribs and I feel fine My hands are trembling stalks And I can feel my breasts are sinking Mother trys to choke me with roast beef And sits savouring her sole ryvitta That's the way you're built my father said But I can change, my cocoon shedding I want to walk in the snow And not leave a footprint I want to walk in the snow And not soil its purity Kate and kristin and kit kat All things I like looking at Too weak to fuss, too weak to die Choice is skeletal in everybody's life I choose, my choice, I starve to frenzy Hunger soon passes and sickness soon tires Legs bend, stockinged I am twiggy And I don't mind the horror that surrounds me Self-worth scatters, self-esteem's a bore I long since moved to a higher plateau This discipline's so rare so please applaud Just look at the fat scum who pamper me so Yeh 4st. 7, an epilogue of youth Such beautiful dignity in self-abuse I've finally come to understand life Through staring blankly at my navel.

It's great that there is such a good acoustic version of this song, it's like that track that's so good but not talked about much. James has mentioned that it was awkward or strange to sing and create music for someone else's very personal feelings, referring to Richey, maybe that's why they don't usually play this song, and for years they hardly play songs from "The Holy Bible ".
