About

While Generation Terrorists has its critics, no sage soul has a bad word to say about “Motorcycle Emptiness” – and with good reason, because it remains one of the Manics’ glittering high-points.

To this day, it shines as an undimmed soul-trodden elegy, buoyed by some of James Dean Bradfield’s fines...

Motorcycle Emptiness Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt, maim, kill, and enslave the ghetto
Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

[Chorus]
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness

[Verse 2]
Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power
Just like lungs sucking on air
Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

[Chorus]
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness

[Bridge]
All we want from you are the kicks you’ve given us
All we want from you are the kicks you’ve given us
All we want from you are the kicks you’ve given us
All we want from you are the kicks you’ve given us

[Chorus]
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness

[Verse 3]
Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness, corrupt political shit
Living life like a comatose
Ego, loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

[Chorus]
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Everlasting nothingness
