ALL IS VANITY

HAVEN'T SHAVED FOR DAYS
GIVES ME THE APPEARANCE OF DELAY
THE LUXURY OF ONE MORE DYE
PRETEND HUMILITY THE UGLY LIE

I WOULD PREFER NO CHOICE
ONE BREAD ONE MILK ONE FOOD THAT'S ALL
I'M CONFUSED I ONLY WANT ONE TRUTH
I REALLY DON'T MIND IF I'M BEING LIED TOO

BRIDGE

IT'S NOT WHATS WRONG IT'S WHAT'S RIGHT
MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M TALKING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT TIMES
IT'S NOT WHATS WRONG IT'S WHAT'S RIGHT
IF YOU BUY VANISHING CREAM YOU NEED VANISHING CREAM REMOVER AT NIGHT

CHORUS

BORN - SCHOOL
DRUNK - FUCK - WORK
HOME - DOLE
DIVORCE - RETIRE - DIE
AND THEN WHAT AND THEN WHAT
AND THEN WHAT AND THEN WHAT
MAYBE'S YOU REALISE
IT'S ALL VANITY BABY
ALL IS VANITY HONEY
ALL IS VANITY
ALL IS VANITY
ALL IS VANITY
ALL IS VANITY

IT'S THE FACTS O' LIFE SUNSHINE

On ambition: “We’ll release one double album that goes to Number One worldwide. One album, then we split. If it doesn't work, we split anyway. Either way, after one album, we're finished." (James Dean Bradfield, 1991)

trashyardlove was kind enough to scan the NME article about Journal for Plague Lovers / Richey that's out now for those of us who aren't able to pick up a copy ourselves. I've uploaded them to the gallery here. They're a bit cut off on the sides sometimes, but nothing so major that you can't figure out what it says.

The unedited interview from the NME blog can be read here.

I've also uploaded the caps of Richey's journal from

highrising & p2 over at the FD forum here.

Enjoy! xx
