Great Britain
Bad news and good news
The bad news is that Britain held a referendum and voted to withdraw from the contest. I suspect America/Russia/China and San Marino were using large amounts of money to influence the results.
The good news is that I have appointed myself emperor and have overruled the results of the poll.
So the UK selection is;
From 1992
Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness
"A power ballad the track is slower paced than most others on the album. Its lyrics are inspired by S.E. Hinton's book Rumble Fish, about biker gang culture. The lyrics have been interpreted by the band as an attack on the hollowness of the consumer lifestyle offered by capitalism, describing how society expects young people to conform. In 2006, Q magazine readers voted the song as one of the best 100 songs ever"
Enjoy...
Lyrics
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
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
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 Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
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
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
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
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness
