Tsunami
Manic Street Preachers"Tsunami" is dedicated to Jean and Jennifer Gibbons, known as "The Silent Twins".
They were two sisters from West Wales who stopped talking to the outside world at the age of eight and only communicated with each other in secret language. They committed several robberies, were imprisoned together and from their cells wrote a book of poetry, September Poems. When Sister Jean died, Jennifer was able to communicate again, freed from silence.
For you my dear sister
Holding onto me forever
Disco dancing with the rapists
Your only crime is silence
Can't work at this anymore
Can't move I want to stay at home
Tied up to all these crutches
Never far from your hands
Tsunami tsunami
Came washing over me
Tsunami tsunami
Came washing over me
Can't speak
Can't think
Won't talk
Won't walk
Doctors tells me that I'm cynical
I tell them that it must be chemical
So what am I doing girl
Cry into my drink I disappear
Eyes for teeth grating over me
Bring down the shadows of my mind
Sleep and breathe under our sheets
Inhale the anxiety
In - between
In - between
In - between
In - between
Tsunami tsunami
Came washing over me
Tsunami tsunami
Came washing over me
Tsunami tsunami
Came washing over me
Tsunami tsunami
Came washing over me
Through September under the weather
In - between
In - between
In - between
In - between
Tsunami tsunami
Came washing over me
Tsunami tsunami
Came washing over me
Tsunami tsunami
Came washing over me
Tsunami tsunami
Came washing over me
Take the GI's I will have the spies
Play with the song, fill the gaps
