"You Stole the Sun from My Heart" is a song by Manic Street Preachers, released on March 8, 1999 as the third single from the album This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours. All three members of the band - James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore and Nicky Wire - share the writing credits.
The lyric concerns Nicky Wire's dislike of touring. He has said that as much as he enjoys being on stage, he hates the routine of travelling, soundchecks, hotels and the homesickness it causes.
The song title is namechecked in a much later Manic Street Preachers single, Your Love Alone Is Not Enough.

Famous quotes containing the words stole, sun and/or heart:
“Now you strike like the blind man; ‘twas the boy that stole your meat, and you’ll beat the post.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I kept as still as I could. Nothing happened. I did not expect anything to happen. I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy. Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“The heart beats thick,
Big trout muscle out of the dead cold;”
—Ted Hughes (b. 1930)
