"My Name Is Despair" is a track by The Charlatans, from the album You Cross My Path, released 3rd March 2008. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

My Name Is Despair

In a swell

In a swim

You miss my stare

In a square

Take my hand

My own cross to bear

You miss my stare

My name is despair

Save your soul

Save your soul

A path I once shared

Could my presence

Be too much

You will miss my stare

My name is despair

You miss my stare

My name is despair

Slightly walk

Incomplete

I was lost

Incomplete

Slightly marred

Through defeat

In a vacuum

Incomplete

My only prayer

My name is despair

You will miss my stare

My name is despair

My name is despair

My name is despair

My only prayer
