Love's Sweet Exile Love's Sweet Exile "Love's Sweet Exile" is a song by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers. It was released on 28 October 1991 by record label Columbia as the second single from their debut album "Generation Terrorists" (1992). The B-side, "Repeat (UK)", appears on the same album.

The melody for the chorus was taken from another unreleased Manic Street Preachers song, "Just Can't Be Happy Without You".
