1404 - Manic Street Preachers

This country, it could’ve changed

A little bit of the world, you said

I may have told you this before

I could have been the king of Wales

Maybe we were doomed to fail

But you came and destroyed everything

Still looking for the question mark

At least we’ve not yet reached the full stop

At least we’ve not yet reached the full stop

But 1404 got left behind

And we were trapped and stuck in time

We had it all, we had our smiles

And 1404 got left behind

If R. S. Thomas was compulsory

And Saunders Lewis was for free

Owain Glyndŵr our history

And Dylan kept the memories

And Dylan kept the memories

But 1404 got left behind

And we were trapped and stuck in time

We had it all, we had our smiles

And 1404 got left behind

This country, it could’ve changed

A little bit of the world, you said

I may have told you this before

I could have been the king of Wales
