Misery

From Grey Britain2009

Written by Frank Carter, Laurent Barnard, Lee Barratt

Lyrics

Misery

[Intro]

Fuck!

[Verse 1]

Misery fucking loves me

And I love her so

She is the cold embrace, no escape

When I'm left alone

Misery fucking loves me

And I love her too

She is the dying breath of nothing left

That I've become accustomed to

[Chorus]

There is nothing left for me

I wanna kill myself just for relief

Black cloud, death shroud

Weight of the world dragging me down

I have nothing to offer anyone

Hope for tthe hopeless coming undone

Misery is my only friend

She is a cold fucking snap

But she is not the end

[Verse 2]

Misery fucking loves me

But I love her more

She is the last light, the dark night

Noose 'round my neck, the hole in the floor

And we love her too!

Misery fucking loves us

And we love her too!

Misery fucking loves us

And we love her too!

From Dork

Gallows on Dork

Frank Carter was trying to escape the rock-star suit on ‘Dark Rainbow’

On ‘Man Of The Hour’, Frank Carter turned the glamorous image attached to his past inside out, using ‘Dark Rainbow’ to search for a self beyond punk nostalgia and audience expectation.

Why Gallows’ ‘Orchestra of Wolves’ is a useful place to start

Gallows’ 2006 debut pairs hardcore force with memorable songwriting, making its 35 minutes a revealing introduction to the Watford band.

‘Dark Rainbow’ was Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes’ long-promised change of tact

The Rattlesnakes’ fifth album sounded unlike ‘Blossom’, but its move towards control, melody and self-questioning had been part of the plan since 2016.

Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter have added six more UK dates for December

Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham, Portsmouth and Bristol join the 'Anarchy In The UK' tour.
