Manic Street Preachers - (It's Not War) Just The End Of Love Lyrics






To feel forgiveness, you gotta forgive
Do you see the stars or the darkness begin?
You fight your war, I fought for my life
You pay your dues and I'll pay mine

It's not war, just the end of love
Just like before but it's never enough
Oh it's never enough

You fight your war, I fight for my life
You pay your dues, and I won't pay mine
To feel forgiveness you gotta forgive
It's lost on me, I believe in revenge

It's not war, just the end of love
You've got the looks
But I've got the stars
It's not war, just the end of love
To feel some tenderness
Do you have to give up?
Do you have to give up?
Ooh do you have to give up?

It's not war, just the end of love
(just the end of...)
Just like before, but it's never enough
It's not war just the end of love
You weathered the storm but sheltered the loss
but sheltered the loss
but sheltered the loss

  1. A.... M....

    Let the East meet the West. At 2:29 Thin Lizzy solo occurs.,

  2. a.... s....

    Fabulous great band xx

  7. M.... H....

    Here via the Michael Sheen/Good Omens fandom, and did not disappoint on that level, but oh goodness also I need to listen to more Manics again. So good. x

  8. D.... P....

    "To feel forgiveness, you gotta forgive / It's lost on me, I believe in revenge." Outstanding lyrics.

  9. �.... �....

    Шин сосется класс. *Мысленно подставляю Дэвида*
    Угадайте после просмотра чего я пришла

    �.... �....

    Дарья Леонова да детка, так то! благие знамения не отпускают

  10. y.... r....

    oh michael sheen *_____*

  11. J.... S....

    Was this really one take??

    J.... S....

    i can't say for sure but usually "fake one takes" (idk the real name) are used in music videos or films. They hide cuts by letting something stadionary or another person cross the screen or you can cut in a quick camera slide...i suspect that there is a cut around 0:38 for example but it's still really impressive considering that a lot of it is still done in one take

    J.... S....

    but like i said, i'm not sure...it could be one take

    J.... S....

    Yeah you see where they made space for cuts but i'm not actually sure they used it. Will have to investigate

  12. F.... ....

    I’m on a Michael sheen spree

  13. s.... p....

    oh my
    michael sheen so hot

  14. �.... �....

    I was third grade when this came out...memories...

  15. L.... T....

    I guess Aziraphale got tired of being a good angel

  16. S.... J....

    The gorgeous anna friel lucky chess guy

  17. N.... P....

    As this is just one long take, I have to wonder how many takes this took, and therefore just how long Michael and Anna had to snog each other that day.

  18. L.... O....

    Great song, chess and Michael Sheen! Perfect combination!😍😍😍

  19. p.... o....

    In love ❤

  20. T.... D....

    I absolutely love this song.

  22. Z.... A....

    My fav music ever 💕& Michael Sheen so hot 🔥💓

  23. c.... ....

    this is like thelma and louise. It looks romantic, but everybody dies.

  24. D.... P....

    William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson :D

  25. M.... O....

    the 10th manics album is all fantastic. but this song is much more fantastic!

  26. v.... A....

    HD ver. plz

  27. W.... P....

    The chorus sounds very much like Let's go round again by Average White Band

  28. P.... H....

    Nice work if you can get it.

  29. s.... ....

    Moto guzzi brought me here

  30. F.... B....

    piece of art

  31. N.... P....

    That hilariously miserable stare at the camera at 1:55 will always be my favourite part of this video.

    N.... P....

    It's because his wife won't let him get off with Anna.

  32. T.... R....

    What a tune! My new fave song

  33. B.... R....

    How did THAT ever pull Kate Beckinsale?

  34. K.... R....

    Is that Anna Friel?

  35. i.... ....

    Now, after a dozens of times I watched this exciting video (+ beautiful song) I realized that HE is Michael Sheen! <3 Now I understand why I found it SO sexy :)

  36. D.... T....

    Class act. Great sound and production. The best!

  37. S.... P....

    One of the most underrated bands of all times. Simply perfect in both music and lyrics. I love them since "The Holy Bible" and miss terribly Edwards but the band began something very different after his missing... something beautiful in its own way. Stay up and please, please make another album, we wait your music since Futurology!

    S.... P....

    Underrated? They are worshipped in Wales along with rugby and Tom Jones.

    S.... P....

    Nigel Sheppard - yes that’s the problem only in wales - good band like these should be well well recognised world wide like the
    rhc pepper or something.
    It’s rather embarrassing only to be recognised in wales for these guys.

    S.... P....

    EXACTLY, Stefano, EXACTLY, wise right words :)

    S.... P....

    @Nigel Sheppard Still underrated

  38. G.... R....

    James dean looks like Andy Serkis :) by the way this is my fav manics song . Theyre awesome band

  39. T.... C....

    This all gets a bit pawnographic at the end... I'll get my coat

  40. D.... ....

    sounds like a song from the 80's

  41. I.... R....

    Playing chess with Anna Friel is just exactly how I always dreamed it would be.

  42. A.... J....

    Absolute classic tune !

  43. A.... B....

    So who won?

  44. G.... a....

    whooaaaa :D

  45. D.... G....

    Šah - mat <3

  46. J.... G....

    Absolutely great. Powerful

  47. B.... E....

    Very relevant today.

  48. J.... G....

    J.... G....

    does those music promotors has any idea to bring this lovely band to our beloved Nusantara mate ? i love this band since Sekolah Dasar bro, during their Stay Beautiful days

    J.... G....

  49. P.... M....

    love this very like the chessscenes in from Russia with love non mon ami

  50. T.... g....

    Still one of my favourite music videos of all time. Perhaps my favourite. Flawless in its simplicity. It's amazing how they managed to transmit a whole story in one fluid sweep of the camera.

    T.... g....

    Visiting Statue

  51. W.... S....

    Anna Friel Mnnnnnnnn

  52. K.... P....

    Wales - Russa 3-0 :D

    K.... P....

    yy xx should be the Lancashire flag as that's where Anna Friel is originally from, my home county too! 😊

  53. P.... R....

    classy pop rock ballad - loving all the strings - it's epic..

  54. g.... o....

    off to see these next week in manchester cant wait

    g.... o....

  55. E.... H....

    Great song and vid. Isnt the music when they sing the song title a bit reminiscent of circle in the sand by Belinda Carlisle

  56. R.... ....

    Sexy chess.

  57. D.... F....

    Geopolitics through love. <3.<3

  58. R.... H....

    Great being Welsh

    R.... H....

    @RicheyClear Diolch!

  59. S.... N....

    had been hearing this pretty often on the radio, and i loved it! ^^
    it became my gateway to Manic Street Preachers, seriously.

  60. k.... s....

    the Chess Grandmasters of the music world

  61. s.... ....

    Not the Manics usual but I love it

  62. E.... ....

    Michael Sheen - lucky bugger!!!

  63. K.... C....

    'you weathered the storm but sheltered the loss', isnt that the story of life itself.

  64. L.... M....

    A masterpiece song by a superb band.

  65. G.... D....

    SEX IS PART OF LOVE BUT LOVE NOT IS SEX

    G.... D....

    It's not war

  66. p.... ....

    Is that the very lovely Anna Freil?

    p.... ....

    @palmer3977 It sure is :)

    p.... ....

    Yep....... Lucky Sheen!

  67. J.... V....

    I love the song but the video itself is fantastic. It looks like it was done in a single take (Or maybe it's the magic of editing). Narrative-wise it's pretty solid as well.

    J.... V....

    +Juan Valencia I think they did several takes (lucky for Michael Sheen I'm sure), but used one single take in the final edit.

  68. M.... S....

    the best chess game ever! :D

  69. O.... ....

    Great Pawn Movie.

  70. A.... B....

    He should have played the bishop.

    A.... B....

    +Annamarie Byrne I'm with you there i'd say the he'd have to.

    A.... B....

    But he did play the Knight (Sir David Frost).

  71. C.... ....

    Michael Sheen - great !

  72. P.... D....

    shes gorgeous...

  73. k.... ....

    My chess games never end like that :(

    k.... ....

    +kumppi We can only dream.

    k.... ....

    Pawn movie

    k.... ....

    try playing Alexandra Kosteniuk

    k.... ....

    And I'm really hope so

  74. r.... w....

    the great Tim Roth is on the front cover of the album 

  75. S.... J....

    Manics, Michael Sheen, Anna Friel - what a combination!

  76. P.... B....

    Melodic rock 80's come back!

  77. R.... T....

    I'm not a video fan.....but this always makes me happy.
     Great track, backed up with a good video.... a rare combination.
    Robin Topping 23rd Aug 2014

  78. D.... E....

    Fantastico

  79. R.... S....

    this is class

    R.... S....

    Creo que es uno de los mejores vídeos que he visto, las metáforas, los tiempos, las secuencias es todo magnífico. Un punto alto es cuando James dice "i have the scares" único.

  80. D.... C....

    ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION presents NANO-MUGEN COMPILATION 2011 ! :) ♥

  81. J.... C....

  91. C.... C....

  92. C.... C....

    Well 11 people wouldn't know a good song if it hit them in the face no to mention a brilliant one.

  93. h.... ....

    Joking good song x

  94. h.... ....

    Amazan balls 3 that's all very doumy

  95. C.... L....

    brilliant song.

  96. H.... E....

    How did this song and the album NOT get number 1? A few years back this would have been thought of in the mainstream as contender for album of the year easily, especially compared to a lot of the stuff out these days
